Good idea. My dentist always gives out free extra ones anyway haha

Yep, optimized charging is on and I've witnessed it first hand (if say I have to wake up for early meetings, I'll see my phone sitting at 80%). The issue described in the original post shows the charging stop at 50% or so and stay there

This has been happening to me for months though. I've restarted multiple times during that time

I use a new cheap $0.99 tooth brush.

I wish that was it. When I woke up I plugged it into the USB-C brick and it charged to 100% within 30 mins :)

I usually charge on slow chargers (5W or 10W) overnight to avoid heating up the battery. Is it better to just stick with the usb C (20W or even more?) brick and let the phone optimize the charging?

I will try calling. For some reason when I tried chat, it said "This is not supported in your region" (but used to work in the past). I'm in Seattle

Optimized charging stops at 80%, then charges to 100% by the time you wake up. Mine stops at 50% and stays there some nights and other nights I wake up and it is at 100%

I don't think it's optimized charging. It doesn't pause at 80% and doesn't have the pause icon https://i.imgur.com/fuUq5Pg.jpg

What do you use to clean it? I've tried one of those duster cans and a pin, but afraid to scratch/damage it.

IMEI is used by carriers to blacklist the device.

You should iCloud lock it. You can't unlock iCloud Activation Lock.

It usually stop at 80% and the percentage doesn't drop while the phone is still plug in. It seems weird to me that OP's phone hadn't even reach 50% yet

I thought MagSafe was gonna be cool but it’s just okay. I use a popsocket and I’d have to take it off to charge with MagSafe. Also the Cord is too short and if it’s gonna be connected to something anyways, I’d just as well use the port so it doesn’t get as hot. I could get back onboard with MagSafe one day but for now it just doesn’t provide any benefits.

All my Apple power chords broke easily because I'm a power user. I had to recycle through cheap power cords. Each time I had a power charging problem.

Right now I'm using skull candy power cord but have no Idea how long it will last.

I'm saying this it's because you might suspect it's the battery but think of that last and check everything else before that. I also thought it was the battery for my mac air but it wasn't

Try turning off your phone and charging it. That way, you can identify jf the charger/cable/port is faulty.

Socket full of lint… come on. I also noticed that obviously the battery charges past 60% look at the graph.

pausing at 60% is way better for preserving overall battery capacity long-term than 80%. If you leave the battery in a suspended state it should ideally be as close to 50 as possible. I’d consider him lucky.

Damn all these downvotes and yet no replies. kisses biceps damn it feels good to be a gangsta

yes, if you plan on keeping your phone for years and years, it’s optimal to not charge beyond 60 to 70% because charging to 100% every time wears the battery out faster

but if you’re one of those people that buys a new phone every year then I guess it doesn’t matter

I used wireless charging for a while on my old iPhone 11 and eventually switched back to wired. I use an older Lightning to USB-A cable and Anker charger with my 13 Pro Max. Takes a while but as long as I connect it after dinner, it should be complete by bedtime.

It’s to optimize battery life. You have it turned on. Turn it off and it’ll charge fully. If you leave it on your battery will last longer.

Omg everyone on here is wrong - you have your phone set to optimize battery life and that means not fully charging until close to when you normally disconnect it. This makes the battery last longer. Turn off “optimize battery life” and it’ll charge fully every time.

That’s not optimized charging. Optimized charging stops at 80%, and only at 80%.

Do you have optimized charging on? When I charge mine it stays at 80% until a certain time then finishes charging later

Restart it the same thing was happening where my phone just wouldn’t charge past certain percentage and a restart fixed it have no idea why it happened tho.
