I have an iPhone 13 mini as my "work phone "and it's indisputably a fantastic, efficient, small phone. However, I am kind of OCD about keeping it between 40-80% charged, which is a lot of manual toil.

Conversely, I also have an Android Galaxy S22+ for my personal phone. The "Battery Protect" feature limits charging to 85%. Life is easy with this device and it causes me a lot less anxiety.

Really now, why can't Apple enable this for older phones? I don't believe there's any good reason to force batteries to excessively damage themselves. I had a previous iPhone 13 mini I was less careful with on the over-charging front, and the battery performance was markedly worse. Hence the OCD. I acknowledge my neuroticism, but try to curb it within the realm of evidence.
