    Anonymous, 04 Nov 2020iPhone doesn't know when you're going to wake up.... moreI admire your confidence. But you're just confidently wrong. And you'd know you're wrong if you actually held an iPhone in your hands in the last 2 years. The setting is under Settings -> Battery -> Battery Health -> Optimized Battery Charging and has been there since iOS 13. It learns from your charging habits to charge to 80%, then wait at that until it calculates it needs to charge again to reach 100% when you wake up and ready to go with 100% charged phone.

      At Sony you can choose 80 or 90% .
      Apple is a copycat.

                  Anonymous, 04 Nov 2020Charging the phone overnight kills the battery faster than 65wNo it doesn't. Because Apple is "dumb and has no innovation". Yet it's one if not the only phone makers that has charging to 80% and topping up before wake up time. Meaning it's literally charging under most ideal conditions. Slower charging and then waiting at 80% until user is suppose to wake up at which time it finishes at 100%.

Everyone is also ignoring the fact that iPhone users stick with devices for 5+ years mostly. Good luck using your phone at that age after charging it at 65W all the time...

                        Iphone 12 mini is future iphone SE with future Axx processor.

                          If I'll have to anyway buy the 20W adapter, I may as well use the same instead of buying magsafe. It will be faster and more efficient

                              Beethoven, 04 Nov 2020Indeed. apple have the slowest wireless charging 😂 their 15... moreWireless charging is slower than wired because of the amount of energy loss and I guess adding magnets near the electrical current didn't help.

Like another post said, rich people have chargers everywhere. I have a charger at my desk at work, every room in my house and in my car, but I am not rich. I also use the slow chargers.

Due to the side of the battery it fills fast. You do not not need to charge until full.

                                        Plus like you said, these people are rich... (premium!). Wireless chargers are everywhere, in stores, in their cars, in their office, at their homes. They just slot it in, everywhere.

                                        And keep in mind, these iPhone have nearly half the max capacity of other phones, and yet their battery rating is comparable to android in their size form factor. So basically, if you own a ip11 pro max, chances are, its comparable to other similar sized phone.
