The 100% Charge Myth: How to Keep Your Phone Battery Healthier Longer

Charging to 100% overnight can slowly shorten battery life because it keeps the cell at high voltage, but the impact is gradual and modern phones are durable. For best longevity, aim for about 20–80% charge, avoid excessive heat, and prefer slower chargers; don’t regularly let the battery drop to 0%. Check battery health and replace the battery if it falls below around 80%, and you can charge to 100% when you need longer usage for travel or important days.

"Apple's Surprising Advice for Wet iPhones: Forget the Rice Trick"

Apple is advising against putting iPhones in rice to dry them out, as it could cause damage, and instead recommends tapping the phone gently to remove excess liquid and letting it sit for at least 30 minutes. Additionally, the practice of closing background apps to save battery life is debunked, as these apps don't drain the battery when not in use, and Apple suggests closing them only if unresponsive. This also has no impact on privacy concerns, with the solution being to turn off "background app refresh" in Settings.
