Other How often do you charge your iPhone

[Rayy42]

Charge it once a day at bed time and I usually have 5-15% of battery left. I have a iPhone 6 too and I'm a moderate user I would say. Usage is definitely heavier when I'm off the clock from work at night though.

Quick question: Would it be better of for the battery if I leave my phone charged for 8 hours at work or should I just charge it at home overnight? I don't have issues of running out of juice but rather concerned about the lifespan of the battery and/or conditioning.

Just charge it overnight regardless of whether it needs it or not, by the time the battery degrades the phone will be long gone anyway.

I charge my phone every night no matter what, usually doesn't need it though - if I'm at work, I'm definitely not playing on my phone all day so I might see a 2-5% drop in battery life throughout the entire work day.

I keep mine in the dock when I'm in front of the computer. When I used to go to school, I would get up at 4AM and stick it in the charger for a few hours.

just the 8 hours i'm at work every day

 

[Newtons Apple]

I ONLY ever charge my iPhone 6, when the battery falls below 20%

Why?

What reason for charging ONLY when it reaches 20%

It honestly depends on how I'm using my phone on a given day. If I'm at work and it's a busy day, I essentially don't touch my phone, except to reply to the occassional text message. On less busy days, I'll stream Spotify, use iMessage, check email, Instagram, etc. I do have a USB cable in my car which I connect to my 6 each time I'm driving to steam Spotify through my car speakers. But typically I'm left with around 20% at the end of the day and usually connect it to the charger each night before I go to bed.

about 18 hours is a good average guess for me.

 

[NikeTalk]

Usually around lunch time and every night, if I wake up at like 3-4am i'll take it off since it's not charging anyway.

 

[Nermal]

Every couple of days (iPhone 6). If I'm using it more than usual then I sometimes have to give it a "top up" at work on the second day, but it's usually not a problem.

 

[Nhwhazup]

I have the Plus.

During the week when I'm at work and am not constantly on the phone, I usually charge in the morning when I'm getting ready for work and taking a shower. I'm usually anywhere between 60 and 75% at that point and get to full charge in an hour or less. I only use a 5 V charger and if I don't have a lot of time, I'll put it in Airplane mode.

During the weekend days I can run down to around 30% in 24 hours. I never have to recharge mid day.

I put my 5s on the charger at bedtime every night, habit. I'm not a heavy user though as there is usually between 65-85% battery remaining at that time.

How often do you charge your iPhone

iPhone 6. I charge it for a total of 1.5 hours a day during my commute. I use GPS for traffic, so I always plug in for that. At the end of my work day, I'm at 55% or higher, and the 45 minute drive home usually gets me up into the high 90s again. Sometimes I plug in again overnight, but it's probably not even necessary to do that. The overnight thing is just habit I guess.

 

[cbreze]

I charge overnite everynite.

 

[adamhenry]

Overnight most nights.

 

[zhenya]

Lately, every 2-3 days. IPhone 6.

 

[iapplelove]

Iphone 6 plus been charging mine every other day since launch.

 

[KUguardgrl13]

I charge my 5 once a day overnight. On a typically day it's around 20%, sometimes less. I still get pretty good battery life for it being just about two years old

 

[lordofthereef]

Since I got the plus it's been about 24 hours, sometimes more. I have forgotten to charge it overnight numerous times. Unless I did movie watching in the evening, which happens rarely, I am good to go two days. It does get plugged in whenever I drive, out of habit, though I don't commute to work, so that's not every day, only really a couple times a week.

 

[JonMPLS]

With my 5S it was once a day, with my 6 Plus it is every 2 or 3 days.

 

[Shanghaichica]

Every 1-2 days. The battery on the 6 plus is just awesome.

 

[I7guy]

Keep it hooked up to a charger when possible.

 

[MagicBoy]

Overnight. Never usually drops below 80% after a waking days usage.

I can get three days without charging, no worries.

 

[a-m-k]

I only charge when I am going somewhere the next morning or when I get the low battery warning. Which windes up being every day at some point of the day.

 

[joeblow7777]

On average, every 2-3 days. I don't usually bother until it's below 25%.

(iPhone 6)

 

[Givmeabrek]

Mostly every day. Sometime I go 2 or 3 days with the 6+. I've never had it run down very low.

That poll needs a little work. Seems like nobody can even answer it..
