8 Common Mistakes Leading to Rapid iPhone Degradation
Below are the mistakes caused by seemingly harmless iPhone usage habits, but they actually cause the device to degrade quickly, as provided by Apple. Let's see how many errors we commit in this list with Mytour!Using a phone case while charging your iPhone
We all cannot deny the ability to protect our phones as well as the aesthetics that current phone cases on the market bring. However, not all phone cases meet the requirements or use materials that support heat dissipation for the iPhone. The reason for the high temperature of the iPhone may be due to the thickness of the case or the material of the case that hinders heat dissipation.Quoted from Apple: “If you notice your device getting hot when charging, quickly remove them from the case. This also means that removing certain factors from your iPhone before charging can help preserve its battery life longer.'
Using iPhone until the battery runs out
Most users are unaware that low lithium-ion battery levels significantly reduce the lifespan of an iPhone battery. Therefore, it's important to monitor the remaining battery percentage of your iPhone and charge accordingly, avoiding frequent 'low battery' alerts.Apple and experts advise:Users should only fully discharge the battery 1 to 2 times per month to calibrate it to maintain optimal performance.
Using the phone even when it's excessively hot
You may not know that iPhones are quite sensitive to temperature and typically operate at least 30% slower when the device temperature is too high or too low. Additionally, exceeding the temperature limits can lead to overheating, component damage, and malfunction. Therefore, regularly cooling your iPhone, especially during charging, can prolong battery life and preserve device components better.As provided by Apple:The ideal temperature range for iPhones (as well as iPads, iPods, and Apple Watches) is between 62 - 72 degrees F (16.6 - 22 degrees C). Furthermore, the operating temperature range for iPhones extends from 32 - 95 degrees F (0 - 35 degrees C). If the temperature is below or exceeds these thresholds, the device will operate at reduced power or may even shut down.
Charging iPhone with dubious origin counterfeit chargers
Authentic iPhone chargers come with accessories from the Apple are designed to shut off when the battery is fully charged to 100%, whereas cheap cables and chargers from outside sources do not have this feature. Over time, the original charger may become damaged, which is unavoidable, right? However, in today's market, there is a confusing situation, or for the sake of saving a little cost, instead of buying genuine chargers from reputable sources, you mistakenly buy counterfeit chargers. However, charging your iPhone with counterfeit chargers can cause extremely dangerous consequences or even, in many cases, lead to tragic accidents due to electric shocks or battery explosions caused by device overheating.According to Apple's information to users:The main cause of overheating is due to chargers of unknown origin, which are often made from materials that are difficult to dissipate heat, relatively low cost, and use much more outdated technology than genuine products to minimize production costs. This will not guarantee safety when using, leading to danger for users.
Overusing wireless chargers too much
To be more convenient and provide the best user experience, many manufacturers have launched a variety of modern, lightweight wireless chargers with different capacities suitable for various user groups. However, wireless charging has a significant impact on the iPhone when the heat dissipation continues to the device's back surface is too high, leading to thermal issues. Besides, overusing wireless chargers sometimes leads to the iPhone not charging.sing wireless chargers too much sometimes leads to the iPhone not charging.To minimize the aforementioned issues, avoid excessively relying on wireless power banks and instead use a traditional charger separate from your phone!
Power off your computer before disconnecting from iPhone
This seemingly harmless habit, which most of us have engaged in at some point, involves connecting our iPhone to a computer for work, data synchronization, or simply charging, but forgetting to disconnect when shutting down the computer. This can lead to draining the iPhone battery or, in the long run, significantly reducing the device's performance.
Avoid using Low Power Mode
When using Low Power Mode on iPhone, you're essentially allowing the device to disable some power-hungry features that are currently active, which helps you save battery life quite well. However, the downside of activating Low Power Mode is that some apps, tools, and features on the iPhone will be temporarily turned off.Quoted from Apple: 'When Low Power Mode is enabled, your iPhone will last longer until it's charged, but some features may take longer to update or revert. Additionally, some tasks may not work until you disable Low Power Mode or until you charge your iPhone to 80% or higher'.
Avoid enabling Auto-Brightness feature
As you may know, the brighter the screen of an electronic device, the faster the remaining battery life will be consumed. Therefore, manually adjusting the brightness too high when it's sunny or too low will impact the experience as well as the battery life of your iPhone. You should consider enabling the Auto-Brightness feature recommended by Apple. This feature will automatically adjust the screen brightness of the device to the most suitable level for the experience based on the surrounding light wherever you are.
