Remember that approximately 80% battery charge is optimal. Below 20% the battery wears out much quicker and the power save mode tries to help not getting low too quickly. A full discharge once every like 3 moths if I remember right is recommended though. I've been using my phone for over 10 months now and the battery wear out level is 1%. I rarely let my phone get below that 20%, usually not below 40%. My wife's phone has already got to a 38% wearout in less than 1 year and a half. She frequently let it fully discharge.

I didn't say to drain completely the battery. That is in fact impossible to do within a short period of time like a day or two. I said to let the phone untils it shuts down itself. At that stage it still has some energy left. The voltage get to a 3.3V or so, depending on internal the battery management algorithm. One producer may chose to show 0% at higher volatges for safety by at the expense of a lower usable capacity. A comlpelete drain of the battery is when it gets to zero and even there you have to hold it for a while to fully discharge. However below 2.7V you will permanently damage the battery and you will have a high self discharge rate and a possible risk of fire (although not to much energy is left to support it). But don't worry the phone doesn't let you do that unless you have an old phone you let it discharged for like few years and the voltage eventually drops to a very low level due to a rather slow discharge rate.

Some while ago I've read about the management of li-ion , lipo batteries. And they say the wear out depends on the number of cycles, temperature, the state of charge, the rate of charge (current), rate of discharge. Perhaps you have some recent information which suggest these have changed or simply newer batteries are much better.

There is no reason to do that. Apple used to recommend doing that once a month to calibrate the battery sensor. They stopped recommending that a few years ago.


I don't worry about my battery at all. I charge it when I get a chance don't think too much about it the rest of the tim. There's no reason to micromanage your charging.

Guys, let's keep this thread on topic, not about battery life technicalities.


The topic of this discussion is the battery low modal dialog box that pops up and interrupts the user's workflow, requiring their interaction. The behavior of this box has not been changed in years and years. While other parts of IOS notifications have been modernized and polished, this unfortunate choice of user interface design has seemingly been left behind, abandoned, and forgotten.


Apple customers are simply asking for a way to disable this notification box, for whatever reason, a large number of users find the low battery warning a nuisance, repetitive, disruptive, or unnecessary.


Perhaps it is time for this $250 billion company to spend a little bit of its pocket change and listen to users for once and give us more choice as to how we'd like to use the devices that we've spent so much money on. It wouldn't hurt, if just for once, Apple listened to its customers and created a more flexible user interface experience.

There is nothing else useful to say here in this technical support forum about the low battery warning. You can't turn it off. That hasn't changed and talking about it here won't change it. Submit your feedback to Apple. The link has been given.


Beyond that, as long as people stay within the Terms of Use of these forums, they are free to post as they see fit.

I totally agree! This is a nuisance. I use a singing app and whenever this notification pops up, I lose my recording as my iPhone basically stops it wherever I was in the song and I only have the option to save the unfinished recording but not to resume singing. It’s especially annoying when I do video recordings. And I am in do not disturb mode when that happens! A banner or options for notifications should be available.

This annoyance still exists in IOS 10. How comes I still get "Battery level 20%" popups after rebooting my phone when the actual battery level is like 13%? Same thing if the battery level is 5% I will get a popup that says Battery 10%. Why after all these years are we still forced to press a button to dismiss these annoying inaccurate modal dialogs? They should be a notification that appears at the top of the screen, not an annoying popup. The battery icon should flash red momentarily or something. This is just one example of a terrible user interface. Another one is the alarm clock and timer notifications.


I have submitted Apple feedback on their iPhone feedback page multiple times over the years. I am absolutely 100% convinced that all these feedback get sent to /dev/null
