      Most of Apple users I’ve met master the art of turning Apple’s crap decisions into features and advantages over the competition.

      I lost all faith in those folks being reasonable.

      I really wish we had the capability to stop charging early. I’d love to leave my phone plugged in for crazy long periods, but only keep the battery at like 70%. This way it wouldn’t degrade performance from the batteries being left at full charge.

        Are you sure you don’t already have something like this? My android is a couple years old, but has always let me charge to only 85%

          It’s not a feature commonly found in AOSP ROMs, in my experience.

            That’s unfortunate, I guess. I mean, even though I do have my phone set to only charge up to 85%, I don’t really know if this is battery protective or not.

            Is it?

            I just enabled the option because the description of the feature claimed it to be. I haven’t researched this at all

              Yes it should be, somewhat anyway. Primarily batteries wear out through use, both charging and discharging - if your phone is plugged in but not charging, then your phone is running off mains and the battery isn’t being used. However, batteries also wear out over time, albeit much more slowly. Manufacturer’s typically recommend keeping batteries in long term storage at around 70% to minimise this effect. If you’re always plugged into mains at 100% charge, then you’re not following this storage recommendation. Leaving it at 100% won’t kill the battery, but its capacity will go down quicker than if left at a lower charge.

      Yeah, or just a slow charger next to bed? Who doesn’t have a charter next to bed? Especially a slow one costs nothing.

      Definitely wouldn’t want to give up PD speeds to top up during the day. Well, I would give them up if I didn’t have to top up during the day.
