    I still charge to 100, but I use a slow charger, so my phone doesn’t start to spew flames while it’s charging. I wouldn’t be surprised if that helped as well (as heat is another battery killer).

    I just can’t be bothered to handle that shit manually.

      I charge all my shit to 100% with a fast charger, always have, and it all works great.

      This “issue” is severely overblown.

        its an easy way to obsess over something that will make at most a tiny marginal difference.

        “whoa your phone lasts 4% more than mine because you obsessively babysat every charge session to perfection in the past 5 years? good one champ, I was instead enjoying my life”

          Far less frequently than most.

          I’m rocking a Surface Pro 4 as my daily driver PC, for example.

      I just upgraded my charger to one that is 100W but my phone and charger talk so it doesn’t charge any faster than it used to. The charger can be used to charge tablets and laptops that need the oomph.
