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.

As long as you have the phone plugged in while you're using the Hotspot feature, it will not affect your battery's overall lifespan.


If you do not have it plugged in, yes, in theory, it will shorten the battery's lifespan because you will need to charge it more often, thus use up charge cycles more quickly.
