I’m incredibly close to keeping iPhone 13 Mini, which has only one true drawback compared to the rest of the line: reduced battery life due to the smaller battery.
I’ve been reading that wireless charging, and fast charging in particular, degrades the battery more quickly.
This may not bother me on a larger iPhone 13 model as I do enjoy the convenience of wireless charging, but I need to maximize battery health for as long as possible with this smaller battery. For those wondering: it is worth the slight compromise.
Ironically I do have my iPhone 13 Mini currently sitting on a Samsung wireless fast charging stand. I’m thinking that perhaps I should buy a Lightning dock, which Apple doesn’t seem to sell anymore, or start to plug it in manually.
I may be slightly too concerned about the effect of wireless charging vs a Lightning cable. Anecdotally it does seem that wireless charging can lead to the battery reaching 80% health within 2-3 years as opposed to a slightly longer period with wired charging. Is my concern perhaps overblown, or should we be charging iPhone 13 Mini with a cable to preserve battery life?
