iPhone 14 Pro Battery degradation from older wireless chargers?
I have an iPhone 14 Pro. It is down to 94% battery health in 7 months. Before this, I had an iPhone 12 Pro, which went down to 80% battery life in 1 year 10 months. Both of these don't match the battery degradation that my wife's and friends' phones see. The only difference in usage I see is... -
iPhone 13 mini Should We Move Away from Wireless Charging for the Sake of Battery Health?

iPhone Optimized Wireless Battery Charging
Hey everyone, I currently have an iPhone 11, and I've been using a fast charger with a Lightning cable since I got it. Optimized Battery Charging has been doing its thing as expected: I plug it in when I go to bed (say 2 am) and it generally finishes charging by 8:30 am. So far, so good. I...- jollino
