    It was the stated reason by the manufacturer. We were told the same thing

    it's clear to just about everyone that not including something that

    230M iPhones per year shipped w/o a charger means that much less e-waste
    - people have chargers all over the house and office.

    Oh, wait, since other companies are copying Apple in this regard, it's
    closer to 750M smartphones shipped w/o the charger.

    One can't even visualize that much e-waste in chargers alone.

    Same with earpods.

    In both cases, the few people who don't have one or the other can pick
    them up cheaply enough.

    The point made by the video is that companies like Apple are out to
    make a profit which is completely understandable. That's not even the
    reason why the charger was taken out of the box.

    Apple indeed reduced their environmental impact, but instead passed it
    on to the consumer. By removing items such as chargers and headphones
    from the box, Apple saved themselves money and kept the price of the
    phone a tiny bit lower. They also reduced the size of the box, made
    less chargers, etc. However now the shiny new iPhone 12 which is
    capable of fast charging can't be charged by the consumer who paid for
    that function so they have to buy a new charger with USB-C and higher
    wattage to use their phone the way it was designed. So the consumer
    buys new chargers, cables, earpods, magsafe, etc. and in the process is creating more environmental impact with all the extra packaging,
    natural resources used and transportation costs. Apple looks good by
    having smaller packaging and can now say they are environmentally
    conscious, while the consumer is creating a much bigger environmental
    waste by ordering all these items which are missing from the package.
    Other companies such as Samsung mocked Apple at first and made the case
    that their products contain the necessary items, but when they saw it
    didn't affect Apple's sales they also followed suit.

    Apple made a business decision which worked out fine for them, but the
    tragedy is the lie they perpetuated by claiming they were reducing environmental impact. In fact they created more of an environmental
    wasteful impact by what they did. The average consumer doesn't really
    care about waste since it goes in the trash and someone else takes it
    away. They don't really see what they're doing, but Apple sees the
    bottom line and that's what they really care about, not the environment.

    While that video was nice, it just repeated what all the experts had
    stated when the chargers were first removed--few purchasers of a new
    iPhone would already own a charger capable of charging at the maximum
    rate and that they would end up purchasing one separately which would
    have greater environmental impact but that would make more money for
    Apple (or for after-market charger manufacturers). You can bet that when
    a purchaser of a new phone was in a store, whether an Apple Store, a
    carrier's store, or a big box retailer, the salesperson would explain
    that they needed a new charger if they wanted to charge at the maximum rate.

    Decontenting a product and then selling the decontented bits separately,
    has been going on in many industries, for many decades, with the same rationalization of "why should everyone be paying for a feature that not everyone wants." But the rationalization of "we're doing it for the environment" was the ultimate in greenwashing; "Greenwashing is where a
    company uses advertising and public messaging to appear more climate
    friendly and environmentally sustainable than it really is."

    Nobody (but you low-class iPhone owners) is going to be sharing their PD/QC charger among the household (any more than they'd share a toothbrush).

    They're gonna buy a new charger for every new phone, just like they buy a toothbrush for every member of the family (unless you're low class).

    despite the obvious, the conspiracy theories abound.

    The vast majority of Android brands, including Samsungs, come with the consumer-friendly choice of the consumer being able to choose & purchase a phone that comes with the proper charger designed for that phone.

    Only Apple branded iPhones, en masse, lack that choice.

    As the video said, by removing necessary equipment required to properly

    Proving, yet again, Apple's words are never in sync with their actions.

    In some circles it most certainly can. Relativism is the new way of

    making people feel good by allowing them to think that anything they

    On usenet it leads to a perpetual waste of time with neither side

    Of course they are! How are owners of iPhone 12-14 fast charging their
    phones as it was designed to do so?

    I was given one charger for free by tmobile after I refused the new phone without a charger. The rest of the chargers and cables in my household were purchased off Amazon. No one at Apple gave me a new charger to use on our

    You may choose to use 5 watt chargers and usb-a cables for your brand new
    shiny iPhone 14 but most people won’t. They will buy new chargers and new cables.

    I don’t know why you can’t be honest and admit what everyone with common sense can see. You know it to be true. The environmental impact was
    transferred from Apple to the consumer. Personally I don’t care about that, but I do care that the cost of the new charger was passed on to me when it could have been a minimal cost when included in the box as had been done
    for generations of iPhones before that.

    You cite nothing in your content-free denials of everything in the video because your only basis for disagreeing with its sensible points is you
    don't like it portrays Apple for exactly what Apple said & did.

    Separately boxing, buying and shipping a proper charger to fit the new iPhone's designed charging specs will cause far more of an overall carbon footprint than there would have been had Apple simply been a decent company by Apple actually doing what Apple sweetly and rather piously says they do.

    As the video argued, Apple lowered "their" carbon footprint while
    increasing the carbon footprint overall - which is another case where
    what Apple says they do and what Apple actually does rarely (if ever) matches.

    Many people lack critical thinking skills and believe anything and
    everything that a corporation tells them. If a company claims to be
    doing something good for the environment, even though the actual net
    result is the opposite, they simply don't have the ability to take a
    systems approach and comprehend the actual reality of the greenwashing
    that is occurring.

    When the chargers ceased to be include sales of high-power chargers went
    way up and the margins on chargers are very high, much higher than on
    the phone itself. Including a high-power charger versus a low-power
    charger would have raised the phone manufacturer's costs about 90¢ per
    phone. Not including any charger at all reduced the manufacturer's cost
    by about $1.15.

    Much more important than that $1.15 savings was being able to sell 20W chargers, that have a manufacturing cost of about $2.05 (likely less in
    the volumes that Apple has made), for $19. Of course the manufacturing
    cost doesn't represent the total cost, which now includes separate
    packaging, separate shipping, distribution, and retailing costs, and
    margin for the retailer, whether the retailer is an Apple Store, Amazon,
    Best Buy, etc..

    Of course not every iPhone user will buy an Apple-branded 20W charger,
    you can buy a high-quality 20W GaN USB-PD Type C Charger (with a USB-A
    QC 3.0 port as well) for around $7, and a low-quality one for a lot less
    than that, but a sufficient percentage of iPhone buyers will stick with
    the Apple-branded chargers to make this an enormously profitable business.

    As the video accurately explained, the _net_ environmental benefit is
    clearly negative. But a lot of people don't think of all the things that
    were explained in the video. One thing that he mentioned was that if the
    old phone is passed to another family member, they'll need the charger
    that goes with that phone.

    If the phone is traded in then the entity taking the old phone doesn't
    take the charger "More than 35% of iPhone owners who purchased a new or
    used device over the 12-month period ending in June [2021]either sold or
    traded in their old model, according to a survey conducted by Consumer Intelligence Research Partners. About 30% traded in iPhone, while just
    over 5% sold the device." But of course the entity taking the old phone
    also doesn't include a charger if and when the phone is resold.

    good thing they're not doing that.


    Of course they are! How are owners of iPhone 12-14 fast charging their
    phones as it was designed to do so?

    Some may just be charging slowly. But looking around my office, everyone
    with an iPhone, including me, uses a 20W or higher USB-C PD charger, or
    they are using wireless charging, though none of those chargers are
    Apple products. But this is in Silicon Valley, where a high percentage
    of the population are technically astute and understand that there is no advantage of a $19 USB-C PD 20W charger versus a $7 USB-C PD 20W
    charger. I imagine that in many parts of the country there are iPhone
    owners that buy only Apple branded chargers and other accessories.
    Personally, I have two Apple-branded accessories, a Lightning to 3.5mm
    adapter and a USB-C to Apple Watch wireless charging device. I read that
    the after-market Lightning to 3.5mm adapters were not as good as the
    Apple product and I had an after-market USB-C to Apple Watch wireless
    charger that was poorly built, so I splurged for the Apple version.

    I was given one charger for free by tmobile after I refused the new phone without a charger. The rest of the chargers and cables in my household were purchased off Amazon. No one at Apple gave me a new charger to use on our
    new phones with the new fast charging circuitry.

    A lot of carrier stores will throw in a charger to make a sale, but you
    have to ask for it.

    You may choose to use 5 watt chargers and usb-a cables for your brand new shiny iPhone 14 but most people won’t. They will buy new chargers and new cables.

    Not many people will use a 5W charger for a newer iPhone. They'll either
    use MagSafe charging or buy a higher wattage USB-C PD charger.

    I don’t know why you can’t be honest and admit what everyone with common sense can see. You know it to be true. The environmental impact was transferred from Apple to the consumer. Personally I don’t care about that, but I do care that the cost of the new charger was passed on to me when it could have been a minimal cost when included in the box as had been done
    for generations of iPhones before that.

    You're thinking that common sense should be a guide. But emotion often
    trumps common sense. As an analogy, "Nearly two-thirds of Republicans —
    63% — now say they want the former president to run again. That’s up slightly from the 55% who said the same in April when Trump began facing
    a series of criminal charges. Seven in 10 Republicans now have a
    favorable opinion of Trump, an uptick from the 60% who said so two
    months ago." You can be certain that the vast majority of that 70% fully comprehend that Trump engaged in criminal behavior, yet they still
    support him.

    Nobody but you low-class iPhone owners would suggest buying a high-end expensive device designed to charge at PD speeds - and then never be able

    Simply because you're sharing an old toothbrush to charge that new device.

    most people charge overnight where that would make no difference.

    If you're forced to charge overnight, then it's not Android - it's Apple. Nobody but people with old outdated almost burned out batteries does that.

    As all the articles said, Apple is years behind Android in charging speeds. (Now that's something that Apple "should" copy from Samsung for once!)

    Besides, what are you going to do when you go on a trip and the person
    you're desperately sharing your only PD charger with needs it also?

    Apple's excuses ring hollow - as the video aptly described in detail.

    It's not logical for someone to purchase a phone *designed* for fast PD charging, and then *not* be able to charge it at speeds you paid for.

    I was given one charger for free by tmobile after I refused the new phone without a charger. The rest of the chargers and cables in my household were purchased off Amazon. No one at Apple gave me a new charger to use on our
    new phones with the new fast charging circuitry.

    Apple removed the charger for one reason alone, and it has nothing to do
    with the environment (other than to claim they lowered 'their' footprint).

    Any sensible person can see that by forcing people to buy a new charger to attain the speeds they paid for, the overall carbon footprint goes up.

    As do Apple profits.

    You may choose to use 5 watt chargers and usb-a cables for your brand new shiny iPhone 14 but most people won't. They will buy new chargers and new cables.

    Agree: Any normal person will buy their own brand new charger that charges their brand new expensive phone at PD speeds that phone was designed for.

    Nobody is going to be sharing old chargers among their household members.

    I don't know why you can't be honest and admit what everyone with common sense can see. You know it to be true. The environmental impact was transferred from Apple to the consumer.

    Apple didn't do it for the environment - the proof being Apple has *always* decontented iPhones so that the customer has to find a way to buy it back.

    The environment is simply an excuse concocted by Apple's clever marketing.

    Personally I don't care about that,
    but I do care that the cost of the new charger was passed on to me when it could have been a minimal cost when included in the box as had been done
    for generations of iPhones before that.

    Almost every Android phone comes with a PD/QC charger, except those who
    have multiple models where the highest end only copies Apple's strategy.

    We were talking about owners of iPhone 12 or earlier. Someone with an

    now. We don't care about slow chargers, we want fast ones to go with
    the fast charging circuitry in the new phone. I certainly never had

    It's more like buying a Ferrari and not getting any tires with it.

    Someone with an

    (Actually, I know about you very well. This is not reality for you: this

    ...but what I care about is that my phone charges from wherever to 100% overnight.

    I don't think you actually need fast charging for that.

    Apple's excuses ring hollow - as the video aptly described in detail.

    It's not logical for someone to purchase a phone *designed* for fast PD charging, and then *not* be able to charge it at speeds you paid for.

    It's not logical to force people who may already have a fast charger to
    buy one that comes in the box...

    Are you actually trying to claim those who don't fast charge since they

    Of course they are! How are owners of iPhone 12-14 fast charging their
    phones as it was designed to do so?

    Are you actually trying to claim those who don't fast charge since they charge overnight anyway and those who simply continue to use their

    claiming the number is only a small percentage of customers? Either way, you're going to have to cough up some evidence or we'll just assume you

    I’m sure people are still using distributors and carburetors because that’s what grandpa always bragged about in his AMC Gremlin. Back in my day we
    used to hand crank our cars and we liked it. I’m a cranky old man!

    Fuck slow charging. It’s for obsolete cave dwellers.

    Go charge your phone now. We’ll wait until tomorrow morning.

    Fast charging is great when you forget to plug in your phone before you
    sleep or you have a short window of time to charge. But apparently everyone here wants to impose antiquated norms on people who dare question Apple’s presumed best choices ever.

    exactly.


    Exactly. When you buy a new car, you always take can of gas with you.
    Nobody expects there to be any gas in the tank!

    It's more like buying a Ferrari and not getting any tires with it.

    Nope.

    It's not like that in the slightest.

    Every car needs its tires all the time it's in use.

    A phone needs a charger easily less than 8 hours out of every 24.

    With fast charging the need is much lower than that. How the hell is it
    that people are pushing antiquated practices when they can wake up and
    quickly charge their phone or charge it between getting home from work and leaving to go out on the town or any other greatly truncated scenario? I
    guess providing new chargers eats into Apple profits and people here are
    more about Apple revenue than customer’s actually benefiting. No surprise there.

    Better question:

    Why ask that when I can charge while I eat breakfast?

    Fast charging is not needed and nobody wants it.

    *YAWN* Your lame attempt at humor is cringe.

    Shouldn’t you be plugging in to overnight charge soon? I can literally go
    on for hours with my 52% charged iphone 13 from yesterday morning and stop
    for a hour or so to recharge but still use my USB-C ipad and then come back
    to the phone while you are waiting for an antiquated recharge. Hah! Good
    luck with that archaic boy.

    WTF is wrong with you. Patience is a virtue. People want things done now
    and can’t wait so many hours for a phone to charge when it can be done relatively quickly. You probably prefer quicker download speeds too. You
    should have stayed on dial-up instead.

    Straw... ...man.

    Ever heard of it?

    Go charge your phone now. We’ll wait until tomorrow morning.

    Great. I'll be sleeping, so why will that be any kind of problem.


    Fast charging is great when you forget to plug in your phone before you
    sleep or you have a short window of time to charge. But apparently everyone here wants to impose antiquated norms on people who dare question Apple’s presumed best choices ever.

    I never forget to plug in my phone before I sleep, and hence never have
    a short window of time in which to charge it.

    I think you've hit the nail on the head with your example of using US
    Robotics dial-up modems instead of fast Internet as a good analogy.

    And, I think you're correct they've never experienced the luxury of being
    able to charge when the phone needs it - for an hour or two. As needed.

    I think you're also correct they'll back up Apple's decisions at all costs.

    I do. Remove it from my cold dead fingers.

    I love being able to charge in the time it takes me to eat my breakfast!

    A simple analogy of what they're suggesting is that Apple says you already
    have plenty of old VGA monitors lying around the house so use them instead
    of the 4K monitor graphics spec that the device was designed to work with.

    Since they're still "managing" to get along with VGA graphics, and since they've never experienced 4K graphics, they argue Apple's point of view ad infinitum.

    4K graphics is not needed and nobody wants it when Apple says use old VGA instead (because Apple doesn't want to supply you with the correct cord).

    Exactly. When you buy a new car, you always take can of gas with
    you. Nobody expects there to be any gas in the tank!

    It's more like buying a Ferrari and not getting any tires with it.

    Nope.

    It's not like that in the slightest.

    Every car needs its tires all the time it's in use.

    A phone needs a charger easily less than 8 hours out of every 24.

    With fast charging the need is much lower than that. How the hell is
    it that people are pushing antiquated practices when they can wake up
    and quickly charge their phone

    Because their so-called "antiquated practices" result in their phone
    being fully charged when they wake up, so there's no need for fast
    charging.

    I guess providing new chargers eats into Apple profits

    Nah. But throwing thousands of power adapters at people who don't need
    or use them is wasteful.

    people here are more about Apple revenue than customer’s actually benefiting.

    Nah. Your little troll gang just refuse to acknowledge that many folks
    have no need for yet another power adapter or fast charging because:
    troll. You are so pissed about this that you spend literal days and
    weeks here bickering about it. It's pathetic.

    Do you wake up at night and swap chargers to other devices? How

    If charging overnight is all that's required, then you don't NEED a

    I’m going back to dialup speeds then too.

    Do whatever you want. Nobody asked *you* to do anything. You're like a

    I'm sure that you understand that the people claiming that you
    should use an old, slow, charger don't actually believe what
    they are claiming!

    The only people I see here talking about telling others what to
    do are you two idiots. Nothing you can say will change that there
    are many people who already have power adapters and charge cables
    when they get a new device, and it would be quite wasteful for
    them to just stop using them. A whole lot of people have no need
    for fast charging - a lot of people charge overnight where fast
    charging makes no difference whatsoever. You trolls *desperately*
    want to push your "everybody needs fast charging" propaganda
    because it's the only way your little troll works. But it's
    simply not true. And the amount of time you spend trolling about
    this day in and day out is frankly pathetic. Your trolls are a
    colossal waste of electrons and time.

    I guess nobody needs fast charging then, especially me, who likes
    it immensely. Must be deluded.

    Straw... ...man.

    Ever heard of it?

    Go charge your phone now. We’ll wait until tomorrow morning.

    Imagine actually being *upset* that people are perfectly happy
    charging their devices overnight while the sleep. You poor tormented
    soul!

    everyone here wants to impose antiquated norms on people

    Projection. It's you guys who have been literally spending *days* and
    *days* right here bitching and moaning that fast charging is
    downright *required* and definitely *must* be used by every Apple
    customer.

    I just started. I haven’t been doing it for days liar.

    Apparently you are having trouble comprehending the phrase "you guys".
    Pity. Anyway...

    Shouldn’t you be plugging in to overnight charge soon? I can

    yesterday morning and stop for a hour or so to recharge but still use
    my USB-C ipad and then come back to the phone while you are waiting

    I don't have a fast charger...

    ...but somehow I manage to get through every day without my phone
    running down.

    It's *magic*! 😉

    I have to agree with you that the fast charging takes only an
    hour or two (at most) to fully charge a battery from nothing to
    full nowadays.

    That's what the phone was designed for - and what you paid good

    They're desperate to plug the phone into the wall so it charges
    all night.

    Meanwhile, everyone else just pops it on the proper fast PD/QC
    charger only when it needs it, which is once every couple of
    days for a couple of hours.

    They can't understand what they've never experienced in fast
    charging.

    Who the fuck still charges overnight? Reads the room. Apparently
    way too many people with old plugs. Sad.

    Better question:

    Are you using your phone while you're asleep?

    Why ask that when I can charge while I eat breakfast?

    Fast charging is not needed and nobody wants it.

    *YAWN* Your lame attempt at humor is cringe.

    Shouldn’t you be plugging in to overnight charge soon?

    I just woke up to a fully charged device, as I have every morning for

    I can blah blah blah.

    That's nice. Why are you here if you are so happy with yourself?

    WTF is wrong with you. Patience is a virtue. People want things done
    now and can’t wait so many hours for a phone to charge when it can be
    done relatively quickly. You probably prefer quicker download speeds
    too. You should have stayed on dial-up instead.

    It takes no patience to sleep after I've plugged in my phone.

    I never have to remind myself to be patient when I wake up to a fully
    charged device either. These trolls are weirdos.

    I think you've hit the nail on the head with your example of using US Robotics dial-up modems instead of fast Internet as a good analogy.

    It's a TERRIBLE analogy.

    Internet speed matters because you have to sit there and wait.

    When you can charge overnight, it doesn't matter at all how fast your
    charger is as long as it gets the phone to 100% before you wake.


    And, I think you're correct they've never experienced the luxury of being able to charge when the phone needs it - for an hour or two. As needed.

    I think you're also correct they'll back up Apple's decisions at all costs.

    A simple analogy of what they're suggesting is that Apple says you already have plenty of old VGA monitors lying around the house so use them instead
    of the 4K monitor graphics spec that the device was designed to work with.

    It's certainly the analogy of a simpleton.

    Same. I have a collection of those little power adapters, and all of

    adapters. I'm glad Apple stopped putting them in every box.

    Exactly. When you buy a new car, you always take can of gas with
    you. Nobody expects there to be any gas in the tank!

    It's more like buying a Ferrari and not getting any tires with it.

    Nope.

    It's not like that in the slightest.

    Every car needs its tires all the time it's in use.

    A phone needs a charger easily less than 8 hours out of every 24.

    With fast charging the need is much lower than that. How the hell is
    it that people are pushing antiquated practices when they can wake up
    and quickly charge their phone

    Because their so-called "antiquated practices" result in their phone
    being fully charged when they wake up, so there's no need for fast
    charging.

    I guess providing new chargers eats into Apple profits

    Nah. But throwing thousands of power adapters at people who don't need
    or use them is wasteful.

    people here are more about Apple revenue than customer’s actually
    benefiting.

    Nah. Your little troll gang just refuse to acknowledge that many folks
    have no need for yet another power adapter or fast charging because:
    troll. You are so pissed about this that you spend literal days and
    weeks here bickering about it. It's pathetic.

    I’ve spent less than 24 hours bickering and managed to get a fast charge in.


    Great!

    I've been on here as well, and my phone got charged too!

    A phone needs a charger easily less than 8 hours out of every 24.

    With fast charging the need is much lower than that. How the hell is
    it that people are pushing antiquated practices when they can wake up
    and quickly charge their phone

    Because their so-called "antiquated practices" result in their phone
    being fully charged when they wake up, so there's no need for fast
    charging.

    I guess providing new chargers eats into Apple profits

    Nah. But throwing thousands of power adapters at people who don't need
    or use them is wasteful.

    people here are more about Apple revenue than customer’s actually
    benefiting.

    Nah. Your little troll gang just refuse to acknowledge that many folks
    have no need for yet another power adapter or fast charging because:
    troll. You are so pissed about this that you spend literal days and
    weeks here bickering about it. It's pathetic.

    I’ve spent less than 24 hours bickering and managed to get a fast charge
    in.

    Better question:

    Are you using your phone while you're asleep?

    Why ask that when I can charge while I eat breakfast?


    Why would you particularly WANT to do so?

    Because I can.


    So it really isn't something you want to do.

    I actually want to and can. Everybody should.

    Got it.

    Nope you really don’t.

    What I want is for my phone to be charged when I get up in the morning,
    and despite just using a 5W cube, it always is!

    Mine gets there much faster. You’re just lapped traffic.

    Really people with a mix of chargers. Around here there are 5W chargers (Apple) and higher power chargers (Apple and other) as they accumulate
    over time.

    My old 5W chargers are used more for our Watches, BTW.

    Want your battery to last longer? Charge it more slowly - perhaps while

    When someone picks up their phone at, say, 07:00 and it's fully charged
    it doesn't matter which got to full charge first.

    Indeed, Apple will not fully charge until very close to 07:00 - at 80%
    it will stop - then resume to get it fully charged by 07:00 (actual time
    varies per ea. person's habits). All this to prolong the battery life.

    So fast/slow - doesn't matter.

    I bought my iphone 13 a year ago. I noticed today a huge drop in battery maximum capacity to 99%. Must be the fast charging I’ve done over the year that put my battery life into crisis mode. I lost 1% of its life. That’s 1%
    I will never get back.

    By comparison with both batteries in my 7+ it had only dropped to around
    83% maximum capacity after two years of slow charging, before I lived so recklessly with my high speed charging habits on the newer phone.

    I should make an appointment to get my battery replaced in the 13.

    Fuck slow charging. It�s for obsolete cave dwellers.

    Fast charging is for the few who really *need* it.

    The analogy by Hemidactylus is appropriate that fast charging is like using
    the commuter lane (which you paid good money for) while slow charging will eventually finally get you home (albeit, about five to ten times slower).

    But the main reason people are upset has nothing to do (per se) with the
    fact that fast charging is ten times better than slow charging.

    It has to do with Apple lying about *why* Apple removed the fast charger.

    The iTrolls (Alan Browne, Jolly Roger, nospam) defend Apple's lies.
    Sensible intelligent well-educated people see right through Apple's lies.

    Which is what that original YouTube video was all about after all.

    Not only that, but faster charging generates more heat which is more detrimental to the lifespan of the battery.

    Indeed, Apple will not fully charge until very close to 07:00 - at 80%
    it will stop - then resume to get it fully charged by 07:00 (actual
    time varies per ea. person's habits). All this to prolong the

    It only matters to the resident trolls because they think they can use

    Indeed, I'll be buying a widget that will stop charging my iPhone when

    I bought my iphone 13 a year ago. I noticed today a huge drop in battery

    Everyone, but you, JR, understood the strategic issue in the video.

    I suspect you're so desperate to defend everything Apple says and does that
    you have no time to understand the issue as it was detailed in the OP.

    Hi Jolly Roger,

    I like you - but what you don't understand is batteries & their chemistry.
    *The cheap laughably puny iPhone batteries senesce sooner*

    You don't understand each charge/discharge cycle takes a toll on what we
    can refer to as the "useful life" of a typical lithium ion battery, right?

    At some point, you're at 90% capacity, 80%, 70%, 60% capacity, etc, right? There comes a point at which the phone will no longer run properly, right?

    *That's the threshold which Apple iPhones reach sooner than Android's do.*

    Hint: Apple's secretly throttled iPhones when batteries reached that point.

    Yep - I've pointed that out various times.




    It only matters to the resident trolls because they think they can use
    it to disparage Apple. It's not working.

    Why I'm dropping out of this thread. It has gone in circles too many times.

    Charge at 2X that rate, once per day, and the battery will age a little
    faster (heat stress).

    a significant effect on how a battery ages.

    Given there is a minimum stable threshold (ala batterygate) and given batteries age to about 80% of initial capacity after about 500 cycles,
    what most determines the battery lifetime are these two set values.

    1. Initial capacity 2. Minimum threshold
    The larger the difference between them, the longer the battery will last.

    You completely leave out how fast the battery gets drained by the load.

    Two identical devices except one has a run time that gets you through a
    day, and the other is more efficient and lets you go two days between
    charges.

    What happens to battery life?

    For the same conditions. So if you charge at rate 1, once per
    day, they will all age the same.

    Not even then, due to different usage patterns, environmental
    factors, and fluctuations in the manufacturing process <---[AAA] .
    No two batteries are the same. That's just physics.

    This isn't a six sigma discussion.

    Never said it was, and you aren't the arbiter of discussion here
    anyway.

    Get off your horse

    Don't own one. You, on the other hand...

    Go play in the street, kiddo. Better things to do.

    Enjoy your lonely "last word" party of one. I'm out.

    You stepped on your own crank [AAA] and then complained about by my reply.

    Then a classic selective edit followed by:
    "I'm taking my ball and runnin' home to mama!" exit.

    Sheesh.
