My wife’s phone dies every. single. day. and I don’t know why she doesn’t just charge it at night.

I’m just wondering how people live like this 😅

    I think that was true like… 10+ years ago, but battery and power management tech have advanced so that’s no longer necessesary. I think running full cycles on your battery is actually bad for it now, I set mine to stop charging when it hits 85% to preserve battery health.

    Sounds stressful constantly worrying about battery life, plopping it on a wireless charger before bed is the way to go.

      I would love if iOS had a “stop charging at 85% option” like that. What I currently do is a shortcut routine with a wireless charger connected to a smart plug that turns off the plug when the phone reaches 85%. It works, but I would love to be able to have it work without a smart plug routine.
