Charging cycle / method for Iphone

I have been strictly following the 0-100% charging cycle on my now 6 year old Iphone 6S Plus. The Battery performance is now at 79%. My son who is more into gizmos (Ipad Pro, Iphone 11) now says change the charging cycle for better performance. Do I continue with my practice or listen to him? :)

optimized battery charging changes What if you change your charging routine, like me? How long will it take for the iPhone to learn the new routine and work out this feature based on that, while keeping the capacity as high as possible?

Charging pattern of iPad 8th Gen to keep up good battery health This question is all about iPad 8th Gen Can I use my iPad while it's charging? Say I am looking at some videos or doing some graphical works. Would rapid discharging of the battery reduce the battery life? Say, I am using my iPad for day-to-day work, and my charging pattern is, I will charge it until 95% to 100%, then I will use it until it drains to 20% and charge it again. Can I keep the iPad plugged in while using it for a long time/ while doing some intensive tasks / while doing the day-to-day work? Please provide some advice to keep up the battery health in the long run.

Is it bad to keep my iPhone 15 plugged in, even if I have charging optimisation on at the 80% limit? as titled. i had slight battery issues with my old iPhone 12, so a bit wary about my new phone and want to keep her running well for as long as poss. is the new 80% limit option is a be-all-end-all answer to my worries? as the charge cycle number will be kept low this way. im mostly thinking of when i go to sleep/ in the evenings. sometimes i start charging my phone earlier in the eve and it'll reach about 80% before i go bed. what would the best course of action here be? since, obviously, i wouldnt want to have to charge it again tomorrow until bedtime. thank you all!

Apple recommends you swap out the battery once it drops below 80%.
