Are you facing an issue in which your iPhone is only charging up to 80 percent? Is your iPhone’s battery stuck at 80 percent charge whenever you take it off its charger? If the answer to those questions is a Yes, then you might want to read this article until the end.
Relax! iPhone charging up to 80 percent charge and stopping is not a bug or an issue. This is a feature that is designed to prolong the iPhone’s battery life and improve the iPhone battery’s overall performance for a longer period.
By limiting the iPhone’s charge to 80 percent charge iOS is essentially slowing down the chemical aging process of the battery. Since all rechargeable batteries have a limited lifespan, which is affected by their chemical age among other things, by reducing the charge to 80% iOS reduces the wear on the iPhone’s battery.
On iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max Apple has even allowed users to stop iPhones from going past 80% battery through the Charging Optimization feature.
On previous generation models like iPhone 14 or older iOS only delays the charging past 80% in certain situations after learning the charging routines of the user. For example, the iPhone’s battery will stop charging at 80% charge in the morning and only charge up to 100% when it’s your time to wake up.
While the iPhone only charging up to 80% is a good thing, it can also be annoying for users who want to fully charge their iPhones due to their heavy use. A battery charged up to 100% lasts longer than the one charged at just 80%. If you are one of those people and want your iPhone to fully charge, then follow the steps below.
