iPhone users beware! These 4 mistakes while charging can prove costly

Let us tell you that the new iPhone has a smart charging feature which protects the battery from being overcharged, but still the habit of leaving the phone charging all night every day is not considered right. Continuous charging and heat for a long time can take a toll on the battery. It would be better to charge the phone as per need and if possible maintain the battery charging between 20% to 80%.

Apart from this, many people keep the phone on charge while playing games, editing 4K videos or using heavy apps for a long time. By doing this there is extra load on the battery and gradually the power of the battery reduces. Excessive heat can reduce the life of the battery and affect its capacity in the long run.

Apart from this, using cheap and uncertified charger or cable can damage your iPhone. Such accessories do not provide the correct voltage and current which can affect both the battery and the charging port. That is why experts also recommend that you should always use Apple or MFi (Made for iPhone) certified chargers and cables.

Keeping the iPhone under a pillow, mattress or blanket while charging can be dangerous. Due to this, the heat of the phone is not able to come out and the device may become excessively hot. Always charge the phone by keeping it on a flat and open place so that the heat can escape easily.

Now let us tell you how you can use your iPhone’s battery for a long time. For this, do not charge the device in a very hot or cold place. Also, keep checking the battery health from time to time by going to Settings. Keep the latest iOS updates installed as these also include updates related to battery optimization.
