Hey
So what's the proper way to charge your iPhone? The way I've heard and that I do is that I let it drain to atleast 10-15% and then I charge it untill like 90-100%. I'm wondering, does it matter if I plug it out at like 30% or if I play with it while charging? What's the best way to charge your iPhone? Oh and does the charging automatically stop at 100% even if it's plugged in?
Thanks in advance.

When you charge your iphone in power off mode it powers on automatically right?.then look at the time.power off your iphone again.Why???
1.it saves your time
2.the heat is less compared to powered on iphone being charged
3.less wear and tear
Power on your iphone and check it's battery percentage including remaining time.power off again untill it's full.goodluck. . .
You can charge it any time you like, once a month you should drain down to 5-10% and then fully charge it back. Also when it reaches 100% it will not over charge the phone, its designed not to over charge.
oh should I just let it drain to 5-10% once a month? Just wondering cause I've heard that you should let it drain till it switches off. Thanks
Either is fine, i do til between1-5 %normally, and i do it at least once a month.
Here's the deal on Lithium batteries, the kind in your phone: The biggest killers of these batteries are frequent full discharge/recharge cycles & heat. Fact is, Lithium batteries really don't like to be discharged below ~30% of capacity. So, if you want your battery to last, charge as often as you can, you can't overcharge, & try avoiding discharging below ~30% of capacity. Every three months or so, discharge to about ~30% of capacity & then charge to full.
That's all you have to do.
You can charge you phone any time. The only reason to let it drain to a very low point is to recalibrate the software that tracks the battery level. I charge my iPhone 5 every other night usually.
Good to know, seems that certain things are over stated and certain things are under stated by companies using batteries in there products.
Here's the deal, all manufacturers, like Apple, build/design their battery operated phones, for the battery to last about two years, minimum, even with abuse...they know must users won't use best practices. So, you're never gonna sign the truth about Lithium batteries in their literature.
Makes sense, and they are also banking that you will purchase a new phone when they come out.
That's the way it generally works, you update your device long before the battery takes a hike. I'm typing this on a MacBook Pro that will be six years old this coming February...still has the original battery...still going strong.
I need to stop buying new macs and keep them for years also, i have bought 4 macs in the past 6mths, and 5 in the past year. Time to be content now.
Okay so basically I should not worry about charging it often, so I don't just need to charge it when its at 10% to 100? I can charge it whenever I need to and plug it out whenever I want too and it won't cause the battery? And once a month let the battery drain till it turns off and let it charge to 100?% Thank you
Proper way to charge your iPhone?
