The iPhone battery and other phone batteries will degrade over time, the more often it is charged, the more it degrades. How much the battery will degrade also relies on how the device is charged.
There are a number of things that you can do to secure your battery that lasts longer, Apple and other companies have some of these features built into their devices.
Apple has a feature where you can check your iPhone battery health and also optimize how the device charges to ensure that you get the maximum battery life out of your device.
How do you check iPhone battery health?
This can easily be done on your iPhone from the settings menu on your device. To check the current battery health you need to go to Settings > Battery and then Battery Health.
How do you set up Optimized Battery Charging and what is it?
To set up Optimised Battery charging on your iPhone you need to go to Settings > Battery and then select Optimized Battery Charging. The feature is now set up and after a few days, your iPhone will learn how you use the device when you charge it, and when is the best time to charge the device.
If you charge your iPhone overnight, it will work out when you wake up in the morning, your device will then be charged to 80%, and then a couple of hours before you get up the remaining 20% will be charged. What this does is prolong the life of your iPhone battery, the majority of the strain is put on the battery when it remains charged at full charge.
This is a wonderful feature and works well, the only downside is that if your break out of your routine, the device may not be fully charged. For example, I get up at 6 am in the morning, but if I get up one day earlier, say 4 am, then my iPhone may not be 100% charged, so you need to remember this if you are going to be outside of your normal routine.
