Maybe they need a new battery tech to be able to give 4 days worth of usage. 1 day isn't really acceptable for mild use IMO.

I think that's where wireless charging comes in.

Some cars have it now, i have a pad on my desk at work and a stand at home. If you can charge the battery when you just place it down then i'm very rarely at the point where i notice it's low.

Would this not mean charging/discharging more means lower battery life all in all and more susceptible to requiring a battery replacement?

 

[Martynt74]

I'm not sure. Possibly as my battery doesn't last as long as it used to when i'm out and about. Although i just put that down to standard Iphone batteries which become useless after time

Linus tech tips did a video on this, or the idea that you should stop charging your phone to 100% and how to get more from the battery.

No. They recommend keeping the battery charged between 20%-80% for best results.

The heat will more likely damage the battery from wireless charging. I know my QI pad in my car makes my iPhone heat up a fair bit.

Yeh I see the theory behind it, I suppose if you use it then stick it on charge for 10 mins to 30 mins then not letting it get to 100% then keeping it around 50% all the time rather than 100%.

Maybe it would be nice to see a feature where the phone would only charge to lets say 70% leaving the 30% not charged. Maybe that would work been able to limit the charge amount aloud on the wireless charging functions max capacity.

That's what I have been doing with my XR now, it stays between 20-80% 99% of the time unless I know I am getting on a plane or shooting a wedding the next day.

Had my Xs since launch, and my battery health is at 95%. Which isn’t bad the cost of a battery these days is nothing tbh. So I’m not worried about the 100% thing.

 

[ChrisD.]

My X has been on 86% health for about a year now. I'm convinced it's lower. As soon as my new work phone arrives I'll be taking the X to Apple.

My old xperia used to have a smart charge function. Overnight it would charge to 90% then do the last bit just before the alarm went off.

I've not seen this feature on another brand.

It really would be a nice feature.

I use Accubattery to alert me to when it's reached whatever % charge I want. I'd also like it to cut off power at that point, but I imagine that takes quite some doing for a third party app?

I think this might be a feature in the new iOS 13 coming next month

Finally, the 3900X arrived.

30 multi coloured sharpies for £10 and a 10 pack of HB pencils from Tesco. Not sure what i'll even use them for, I only needed a black marker for writing on freezer bags...

Heh! Was that today?

Nice. I eventually plan to do similar. But not a MAX?

The quote is by St Jerome, a priest/theologian and highly learned chap who lived between 347-420 AD. I remembered the quote mostly because it embodies everything this friend has been mentally and physically working on to better their life and those around them.
