Charge your phone to 80 percent for the best battery

If you know me a little, you know that I am really a gadget nerd. So yes, I am also an extremely happy owner of the new iPhone 15 Pro and I can also tell you that I am fortunately not experiencing any overheating — I read a lot about that on the internet, but my new device just stays nicely at a good temperature. There is still another new setting that I hadn't discovered on my previous iPhone 14 yet: how to make your battery last longer.

‘The feature is called ’Optimized Charging’ and you can find it in your battery condition settings on your iPhone. Because what turns out? If you charge your phone to 80 percent every time, that battery lasts much longer. I have never done that with any phone, because I thought: the fuller, the better.

Only when your iPhone ‘thinks’ that your phone has been in the charger longer, will it charge it to a full hundred percent. Yep, you read that right: algorithms like your Instagram and TikTok can also be used for charging, so your iPhone recognizes a certain pattern in when and how long you charge your phone.

So if you want to make your iPhone last as long as possible, check this option (you need iOS 13 or higher for this) or take it out yourself when the 80 percent is reached. A free tip of the day.
