Nice to know, we had this discussion before and a debate over the fast charging damage your battery or not.

whatever the reason, gives us reason to upgrade our phones, bought a Brand New S10 today (and I am still a Apple iOS user)

What do you think?
I considered that along with the Huawei P30 Pro.
But I went with the iPhone 11Pro for my sins.

this is not for me, its gift for my wife :slight_smile: its a surprise (glad she is not on Anker community ) she loves Samsung and Androids… as for me, I love iOS and iPhones… will upgrade in 2020.

From what I have seen / using S8… Samsung has good phones… i use them sparingly, only for work,

I just find my iPhone battery degrades quite quick due to constantly being charged due to playing games / listening to music / watching videos etc

Really? I’ve noticed the opposite: I try to keep my iPhone charged above 50% most of the day and had 100% battery health for over a year (it just dropped to 99% a few weeks ago :tired_face:)

I usually only charged my old iPhone 6S when it was near 0% and the battery health was below 80% after 2 years and needed a battery replacement. Although, Pokémon Go might have affected it as well…

I honestly did know about that type of information about the battery was on my iPhone 11 (had the SE before for 3 years) .

Thanks for sharing the article.

I had that on my iPhone 8 after just over a year.
Bought new phone rather than getting battery replacement - got tempted with the 11 Pro!

#15

my iPhone 6S is almost 4 years old, and still shows battery percent of 89… where as my roughly 2 year old iPhone 8 has battery percent of 90…

Not sure what to blame - wireless charging, fast charging,… need to go back to slow charging :rofl:

You know, i started to notice my battery health reduce when i started using wireless charging.
But that must just be coincidence? :thinking:

the only difference between iphone 6s / 8 (apart from the high end processor and the regular yada yada from Apple) is the wireless charging and fast charging… so either one or both are contributing to the battery health

am sure, this may be similar for higher end iphone models such as 11Pro

I’m continuing to charge my 11 Pro wireless (on Wakey) and will randomly check battery health to see when it drops and by how much.

I’m curious for those of you seeing diminishing battery health: do you normally wait until your battery reaches 30% or below to charge it?

I usually charge my phone when it falls to 50%, put it on wireless charging all the time, would say use wireless charging 99% of the times.
