Hello, I’m new on this forums so this is my first post. I’d like to ask about MagSafe charging. Basically I have updated from iPhone Xs Max to 14 Pro Max. I also have bought MagSafe charger along with it. So on first time I was charging the my iPhone it checked it the MagSafe was heating up so I immediately remove it. I’m planing to keep this phone for few years. I’m worried if it start degrading fast than regular charging. Beside I have always charging my phone on between 30%-100%. I also have have Apple watch series 7 it’s battery health is still at 100% it also uses fast charging and wireless but I guess apple is few steps back in fast wireless charging
Got a tip for us?

There are tons of threads on this topic. Some people like it, some people don't. Personally, I've been primarily using MagSafe on my iPhone 13 for a year now, and my battery health just dropped to 99%. It might get warm (not hot), but no warmer than it does if I were to plug it in using a 20 watt charger. I don't do any specific charging regimen either. Charge it at night when I'm sleeping, or as needed throughout the day. I don't do the 20%-80% thing or whatever it is that I see a lot of other people doing.
There's no right or wrong answer. Do what works best for you. The battery is likely going to last a few years no matter what you do.

If you just accept that you will have to replace your battery after 2 years, life is going to become a little easier as you’ll no longer spend time worrying about such things.
