4 Common Charging Mistakes That Are Detrimental To Your iPhone’s Battery, According To Tech Experts

Charging in Extreme Temperatures

Your iPhone battery is extremely sensitive to extreme temperatures. Charging it in a hot warm or a cold room can affect your battery and phone performance. It’s always best to charge your phone in moderate, room temperatures.

Charging with Non-Certified Cables

You don’t necessarily have to purchase Apple chargers and charging cables, but it is important to use charging accessories that are designed to provide the right charge for your phone. If you use off-market cables that are cheap and not certified for you phone’s model, you could leave your device vulnerable to charging speeds that either aren’t sufficient or are too fast for your phone, which can negatively affect your battery.

Not Updating Your Software

Apple often updates its software and it’s important to keep on top of these changes for a few reasons, including for the sake of your battery. When Apple detects bugs or ways to optimize battery performance and charging algorithms, it will issue new iOS updates. Setting your phone to automatically update is one smart way you can keep on top of these with minimal effort.
