So let’s have a look at the matter of charging your iPhone right.
1. The first tip of charging your iPhone right is do not ever use cheap cables always use the charger and the cable which you have received with your iPhone if you lost it or have to purchase a new one always make sure it is certified. Even when you are using a certified or the original cable you have received with the phone to charge and the phone is getting hot while charging always make sure to check the cables and the charger for any damage because even a slight damage can damage your battery. Do not forget to replace the cable or the charger if it has been damaged.
2. When it comes to charging you can use your cable and charger with the phone or without it, in another words wireless charging. The two important facts that you have to know when you are using wireless charging, first it will heat up your iPhone more and also it will charge slower. The other thing you have to know when you are using a wireless charger to charge your phone is don’t use cases, if you get an original case like Apple Magsafe there is no problem of keeping it but if it is not it’s better to remove it before you are charging the phone.
3. No doubt we all like to charge our phones faster so one thing you can do is if you are an owner of an iPad you can simply use the charging brick of the iPad to fast charge your iPhone.

Even everybody believes it is a big no there is no way of overcharging your iPhone, so technically it’s safe to do so. When your battery is charged iOS stops the charging process of your iPhone so in that way it won’t do any damage to the battery. At this point it is better to use “Optimize Battery Charging “in time iOS will learn the pattern you use the phone if you are leaving your iPhone for overnight charging the battery will charge up to 80% a few minutes before you get up but don’t worry by knowing iOS know your pattern and the battery will be 100% by the time you get up.

Once it knows you have to use the phone it charges up to 100%.
5. Another thing that you can do to make your phone charge faster is that use Low Power Mode when you are charging your iPhone. This simply helps to charge the phone faster cause it uses low power meanwhile you are charging. You charger connected in a simply create automation for this action while following these steps first go to shortcut then Automation and tap the + mark in the top right corner then click Personal Automation and go to Charger then Charger Connected then hit next then Add Action and then again search for Low Power Mode go ahead and click next then disable the option Ask Before Run finally it will turn on Low Power Mode every time you plugging the device.
6. At last but not least you can charge your iPhone with your cable through your laptop or computer or any device which can able to charge another device. This fact is also confirmed by Apple Inc according to them your laptop, computer, or the device which you are using to charge your iPhone should be plugged in and powered while you are charging the iPhone. Some people try this with their MacBook while it is in sleep mode which means when it is not powered but it charges as normal but according to Apple Inc you shouldn’t do that, Why because if the iPhone is connected to a computer and it is turned off in some cases it might drop the battery percentage of your iPhone so always make sure that you have your laptop or the computer plugged in or turned on before starting to charge your iPhone.
