Charging hardware is extremely important<\/p>\n

When it comes to charging your iPhone<\/a>, it turns out that there is a right way to do it.<\/p>\n

Have you ever noticed that the battery on your phone doesn\u2019t charge as well after a couple of years?<\/p>\n

Trust us \u2013 we\u2019ve been there ourselves.<\/p>\n

It turns out that there are a couple of reasons for that.<\/p>\n

One reason can actually be due to the hardware you use for charging<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Apple<\/a>Proper Honest Tech\/YouTube<\/p>\n

Apple users should only be using official, licensed products to charge an iPhone<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Cheaper \u2018knock-off\u2019 versions can even be a safety risk and lead to fires.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can also charge an iPhone with \u2018Made for iPhone\u2019 or other third-party cables and power adapters that are compliant with USB 2.0 or later and with applicable country regulations and international and regional safety standards,\u201d Apple<\/a> said.<\/p>\n

\u201cOther adapters may not meet applicable safety standards, and charging with such adapters could pose a risk of death or injury.\u201d<\/p>\n

Why the 95 rule is so important for your iPhone<\/p>\n

But charging apparatus isn\u2019t the topic of discussion today.<\/p>\n

Instead, it\u2019s the actual level of charging itself.<\/p>\n

So what is this 95 rule that we\u2019re talking about?<\/p>\n

It turns out that you actually shouldn\u2019t be charging your iPhone to 100 percent.<\/p>\n

In fairness, it could set your OCD off \u2013 but it will save your battery.<\/p>\n

A fully charged phone is more prone to experiencing stress, which in turn has a big effect on its health.<\/p>\n

This can lead to the battery degrading much faster.<\/p>\n

So charging to 95 percent is one way you could stretch your iPhone\u2019s lifespan.<\/p>\n

\"Apple<\/a>Tom Leeman\/YouTube<\/p>\n

Thankfully, Apple has now introduced optimized battery charging.<\/p>\n

This is designed to reduce the wear on your device\u2019s battery and thus improve its lifespan.<\/p>\n

In turn, this reduces the amount of time your device spends being fully charged.<\/p>\n

So take note \u2013 charging your iPhone to 100 percent can actually hurt more than you think.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Apple has issued a warning to tech users about charging their iPhone.
