Fast Charging Isn't Killing Your Battery. This Is!
Two phones, 500 full charges each: one always on a fast charger, one always charging slowly. The difference in battery wear came to about half a percent.So what's actually wearing out your battery? How a lithium battery ages, why your phone turns the charger down on its own, what Apple and Battery University say about heat, why your phone stops at 80%, and the four habits that actually help.

THE 4 HABITS
1. Any good charger is fine. Fast is fine. Avoid cheap knock-offs.
2. Keep it cool: no charging under a pillow, in direct sun, or on a summer dashboard. Case off if it gets hot.
3. Leave optimized charging on (iPhone 15+ can also set an 80–85% limit).
4. Don't drain to zero; overnight charging is fine if the phone stays cool.
