Have you ever dreamed of charging your smartphone without having to use a wired cable, in other words a USB port? If so, your dream has come true with the new wireless chargers for iPhone.
You probably know that this type of charger is capable of increasing the power of your battery so that you can properly use your mobile phone. This is a much simpler and much more impressive charging method. However, contrary to what you may think, it could well be that this charging technique is very harmful to your battery. How could this be? Find out instead!
Wired charging
Wired charging is one of the oldest techniques by which you can charge your mobile phone battery. In fact, the mobile phone has a charging connector that you can use. These charging connectors often take the form of a USB cable, with a small end that you can plug in, with the charger itself.
Generally, iPhone chargers have them. This charging technique is the most used, because it requires your iPhone battery to draw the energy needed to recharge, using the electric current when the charger is plugged into a mains.
This technique allows you to maintain the full charge cycles of your iPhone, without damaging the battery. Of course, as you charge your battery, its life will decrease. This is especially true when you are in the habit of leaving your phone charging for a long time, even after the battery is fully charged. In such circumstances, it is not surprising that the battery wears out beyond its 500 full charge cycles.
Wireless charging technology
This technique allows you to use, not the mains socket, nor the electric current in order to recharge your battery, but it consists of using electromagnetic pulses so that your battery can recharge. The recharging source sometimes constitutes certain boxes, or certain stones, on which you will simply have to place your iPhone X in order to be able to recharge. If you want to know more about the iPhone X, Pixypia has written a guide to allow you to see the new features that this model offers.
It must be said that this type of charging is very practical, because like any device, using wired charging does not give you the possibility of using your phone wherever you want when it is charging.
Although this technique is ergonomic, simple and fast, it is not as beneficial as you might think. In reality, this technique allows you to quickly reach the recharge cycles of your battery. This is howa study demonstrated that recharge cycles are much greater when using the wireless method.
In such circumstances, it is possible that you will reach 135 recharge cycles in less than 6 months. Considering that the total recharge cycles of an iPhone is 500 cycles, it would not be surprising that this type of recharge will significantly drain your battery.
Also note that 500 full charge cycles normally equals about 2 years. In such circumstances, fast charging will allow you to reach 500 charge cycles in less than 10 months. That gives you barely a year before your iPhone battery dies.
In such circumstances, even though the wireless charging technique is much simpler and much more efficient, it would be better to opt for the wired charging method, as it guarantees you a long-lasting use of your battery.
However, if you opt for such a recharge, you will have to ensure that you do not leave your charger plugged in for a relatively long time, and this, after the battery has fully recharged. In addition, it is not recommended to leave your charger plugged in, without your iPhone battery being charged.
