Does using iphone hotspot for 3-4 hours daily will affect my battery lifespan? Hello, I have just bought iphone 15, i was android user prior to this. I working from home these days, so used my android hotspot for working. My question is will there be any risk of reduction in battery lifespan(health) if i use the personal hotspot for internet connection for 3-4 hours daily of weekdays. Is there any other way by which i can use the iPhone internet without effecting the iPhone battery lifespan. Thanks in advance. Baljeet

iPhone hotspot I use iPhone hotspot everyday for online classes. My battery degrades quickly so i plug my phone to the computer to prevent that. I observed that my phone’s charge percent doesn’t increase or decrease and it remains same so i follow this method everyday. Does this affect my battery lifespan?

Frequent use of Personal Hotspot. Hello! I had been using Personal Hotspot on my previous iPhone 6 for 2 months for my laptop, mainly to watch movies in 1080p and play some online games. I had been doing that around 4 hours a day in average, every single day during those 2 months. Also, I would like to mention that it had been more than 2 and a half year since I bought that phone. While I was using it as a Hotspot for my Laptop it was always plugged in, always charging. During that time I have noticed that condition of my iPhone battery is getting worse, I had to charge it more often (twice a day instead of once a day), often battery percentage fell from 80% to 30% in a seconds. Battery maximum capacity is still 90% on that phone. Recently I've bought iPhone SE(latest one). My question is, does constantly using Personal Hotspot affect your battery life, it's "ageing"? I don't want to ruin this iPhone battery as well, since it is new. I've read somewhere in the internet that Hotspot is designed for using, but is it designed for using every single day? Thank you very much! Have a good day/night!

You can use hotspot but your iPhone will be charging slower and it will get hot which is dangerous for your battery because the heat can decrease battery’s health.

You can use it but not recommend.
