Hello, I received my iPhone 16 Pro on Saturday, 3 days ago. And I researched how to charge it for battery health. Some say set a limit between 20 and 80, some say charge between 20 and 100 and do not unplug it between 80 and 100. Do I need to set a limit of 80 or should I charge it to 100 and allow my phone to be used longer? Is it right to charge it to 100?

It depends on your preference. If you would rather start your day with a full charge at 100% or have your battery health last a bit longer over time with an 80% charge limit. On my new iPhone 16 Pro Max, I personally choose the 80% charge limit as it is plenty more battery than I need and I always end the day with extra charge.
For both charging habits, first, you shouldn't let your battery get below 20% as it is bad for the battery health. Second, you should charge your iPhone all night, every night. Either with 80% charge limit or charge to 100% with Optimized Battery Charging.
