By consistently charging our device to 100%, we <strong>may reduce its capacity over time<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed-Youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"A Guided Tour of iPhone 15 &amp; iPhone 15 Pro | Apple\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EcGXCJm3XMA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Limiting this charge to 80% helps avoid the stress that a full charge can cause on the battery, thus increasing its lifespan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unlike previous models, where only the &#8220;Optimized Battery Charging&#8221; function existed, which intelligently delays charging beyond 80% based on the typical charging schedule, the iPhone 15 has introduced an option <strong>that prevents the device from charging beyond 80% under any circumstances<\/strong> \u2014 with some exceptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to activate the charge limiting feature?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This feature is especially useful for those who want to <strong>have stricter control over the iPhone charging process<\/strong>. The process to activate this charge limitation is quite simple:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Open the <em>Settings <\/em>app on your iPhone.<\/li><li>Go to <em>Battery<\/em>.<\/li><li>Tap on <em>Battery Health<\/em>.<\/li><li>Enter <em>Battery Optimization<\/em>.<\/li><li>Select <em>Limit to 80%<\/em>.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s it. With these simple steps, you can limit the charging of your iPhone 15 to 80%, which, <strong>along with other good practices<\/strong>, contributes to better long-term battery health and performance.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"Apple Support\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-icon-m\/p\/952ecafe-c8f3-11e6-99be-00163ed833e7\/3724861761\/apple-support-logo\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">Apple Support<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/apple-support.en.softonic.com\/iphone\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DOWNLOAD<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--0\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"0\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\"><\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/apple-support.en.softonic.com\/iphone\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let&#8217;s keep in mind, though, that the battery <strong>will still occasionally charge to 100% to ensure that performance measurements<\/strong> remain reliable.
