    They talk about Apple but Sony phones have had this feature for a while. In the settings you can choose whether the phone is always 100% charged, or whether it charges to 80% (or a custom %) or whether you want it full by the time you wake up.

    I use the 3rd option. It stops charging when it gets to 90% and I tell it when I’m getting up, and just before it will charge up to 100 %.

    Best of both worlds. Only ever having 80% to start is not nice because you get less juice during the day and need to charge by the evening. Plus battery anxiety. I’d rather have a 100% full battery.

    Clearly newer, better battery tech is needed. Plus replaceable batteries.

      Samsung, too.

      I use it because I want my phone to last as long as possible, but the downside is that it won’t last a day so I have to charge in between. Ironic, isn’t it?

        Very ironic.

        That’s why I just tell it to be full by morning because I purposely bought a phone with a great battery . Why would I want to hamper it by 20%???
