QUOTE(marquis @ Nov 14 2019, 08:13 AM) I try to charge when I see it drop below 80%. Not a hard rule. If I'm at my desk (office) and I notice it's dropped quite low, I'll just plug it in. Sometimes I forget, in which case I have an app on the watch (battery phone) that buzzes me when battery drops below 40%. At which case I will usually find a power source Same. I used to not need to charge my phone at the office (unless I'm actually not doing much work then I'm on the phone more ). Nowadays, I find more need to charge the phone midway through the day. Not too sure on that I'm afraid. You could check on the main thread. Maybe someone with a Xs can help you there. I know someone managed to claim warranty for their XS Max for some battery issue. will do , hopefully can change , my iPhone is still under warranty

mainly use the included 5W charger at home, sometimes charge overnight to 100%
at office most of the time use wireless charger, and sometimes use fast charge from powerbank
after 6months, battery is still at 100%

QUOTE(arc_archive @ Nov 13 2019, 10:12 AM) As a moderate gamer, i avoid charging the phone during intense gaming session in order to keep the phone battery health at it best. But my iphone mainly dedicated for gaming purpose only and the health at 87% after close to 2 years of usage. wah, your iPhone battery can last that long, my iPhone 7(replacement unit) already 86% battery health with less than 1 year of use. Even normally(iPhone 5) can last 1.5 years This post has been edited by yongtjunkit: Nov 15 2019, 09:57 AM

What I heard was AASP can’t service iPhone under warranty(need to send to Apple to replace/service), they have limitation on what they can service. You must make the right choice on choosing 3rd party service center(3rd party don’t have original parts).... my experience with 3rd party service(at least the one I went to) quality isn’t good at all, 6 months then the battery cannot use at all and cause unexpected shutdown when unplug from wall power.

QUOTE(HippyTony @ Nov 13 2019, 12:40 PM) I used to charge it to 100%, but when reviews recommended the 30-80% rule. I don’t charge the phone to 100% anymore. I also find this rule friendly as I don’t have to charge my phone longer in airplane mode. Hi, can I know what is 30-80 rule? 99% health after using the phone for how long?

It’s by keeping your battery charge between 30-80%. Also recommended to carry a battery bank when you want to follow that review if you are a heavy user. Apparently, it extend the battery health according to the review. My iPhone X this December will be 2 years old.

iPhone XS Max, one year old still 100%.
- charge between 20% - 95% - rarely charge overnight, but if I need to i always put on top of laptop cooler pad - use waze always use the phone holder that holds your phone infront of the aircond vent to prevent overheating - take off case when gaming
usually iPhone in malaysia battery degrades faster due to our climate situation, Apple says iPhone ideal working temperature is capped at 35 degrees.

Don’t care about it, just perform as design, use to the max. Always can replace new battery, small money.

Just charge it whenever u need it to be charged.
The phone is there to serve u, not the other way around.
My battery is 97% now, after almost using it for one year. I charge it whenever i like, few times (at least 3-5 times) a day.
