iOS 13 will include a new feature to help extend the life of your battery. This is welcome news for those who plan of keeping their iPhones for longer than a few years.
The idea is that the operating system will fast charge the battery up to 80% and then trickle charge the final 20% in time for when you need it. So, if you charge your iPhone overnight, and normally take it off charge at 7am, machine learning will figure this out and plan a charging schedule so that the battery hits full charge for this time, rather than keeping the battery constantly charged at 100%.
The trade-off here, though, is that you might have your iPhone on charge, but it won’t charge beyond the 80% mark.
Do you want the maximum battery capacity possible, or long battery life? You choose.
