Start Using Optimized Battery Charging

You probably want your battery life to last you the entire day, but if you want your iPhone’s physical battery to last as many years as possible, you’ll need to manage the way you charge your iPhone.

Enter Optimized Battery Charging, a useful feature that helps extend your battery’s lifespan by learning your daily charging habits. Instead of charging to 100% immediately, your iPhone will pause around 80% and finish charging closer to when you typically unplug it.

Here’s how to turn on Optimized Battery Charging:

1. Open the Settings app.
2. Scroll down and tap on Battery.
3. Tap on Charging.
4. Turn on Optimized Battery Charging.

On the other hand, if you want to prevent your iPhone from charging all the way to 100% and you’re using an iPhone 15 or newer model, you can change the Charge Limit, which is located on the same screen above Optimized Battery Charging. This will prevent your iPhone from charging all the way to 100% every time, which will help with your battery’s wear and tear over time.
