Well Apple says it's better if your phone doesn't just sit there at 100
percent all the time. the battery optimization is designed to keep this
from happening. Lets say you go to sleep every night at 10:30 and plug
your phone in and you wake up at 5:30. Your phone might reach 80 percent
around 12:30. Then it will stop until around 4:45 or so where it will
resume charging in order to be at 100 by the time you wake up. If you
use your phone more than usual and put it on the charger early, it would
then charge all the way because the new schedule isn't recognized. so
according to Apple, it's better if you don't keep your phone plugged in
all the time. It would put your battery under unnecessary stress and
could make your battery health degrade a little quicker.

Hi Gordon,
Thank you for your post.
So, if Apple added the optimized battery setting, then it would seem that even
when the phone is connected to a charger, it will not charge to 100% even
though the A/C current is available, or so I would think. This would lead me
to believe that leaving the phone connected to a charger would have no
detrimental affect on the device.
Batteries, batteries, batteries. It would seem that, even at the end of 2022,
they are still the weakest link in the technology food chain. I don't know;
just a thought.
You know what? In my mind, I think of batteries in the same way as I think of
printers; boring but necessary (smile).

It's not good to leave the charger connected all the time. This is why Apple
added that feature in battery settings called optimized charging.
This learns your sleep habits and keeps your battery at 80 percent for most of
the night and kicks in and finishes charging up to 100 percent before you wake
up. Lithium ion batteries don't like stress. They are under the most stress
when fully charged at 100 percent and below about
15 percent. So that's why Apple says keeping your battery between these points
is best for long life.

Hello All,
Okay, based on my research I cannot find any Apple articles that
discouraged leaving an iPhone 14 on a charger, when not in use.
You old-timers will recall that, once upon a time, it was recommended
that one not leave a phone on a charger, when not in use, full-time.
It was thought that doing so would shorten the life of the battery.
I found an Apple community thread that discusses this and the
conclusion is that leaving a 14 attached to a charger, when not in
use, will, in no way damage or shorten the life of the battery.
Question: Does anyone have any credible statements / sources to the
contrary? If so, please post them as this can make a difference to
the life of the battery, in the long run.
Unlike in the past, I want to consider all aspects of keeping my
iPhone battery healthy from the very beginning.
All replies greatly appreciated.
Mark
