If you have an iPhone for 2 or 3 years, it is likely that you have reached Apple's critical point, that 79% battery healthtime where you will get a message indicating that you must change the component, which needs repair and where it will show you the closest places to do it officially.
However, what does this mean? Why at 80% no, and now? If I still use it, can any other component spoil, or simply affect the battery life? We are going to solve these doubts and see if it is worth making the change or it is better to continue even though Apple recommends it.
My iPhone is 79%, what to do?
Many may be scared with the message, since if the company itself tells you that it must be repaired, it can be serious, however, do not run any danger for not doing so, and you can use your battery as long as you want, however, it can have consequences, and change it brings many benefits that we will see now:
- Longer duration: Obviously, the first one is clear, and if you replace your battery with a new (and original), you will get a good extra percentage of autonomy, which will make that day that you arrived just home with 1% becomes something much quieter.
- Better performance: And it is that the battery not only affects its autonomy, but also to performance, because a new one will make the energy supplied to the rest of the components more stable, which makes everything work better, so yes, the battery also produces LAG and system problems.
- Lower temperature: A worn battery is heated more, especially in summer times, so this will also affect the performance, duration of the same, and possible degradation of the rest of the components. Therefore, changing it to 79% will not only give you 21% more autonomy, but by not heating so much, it will work better and will wear more slowly, improving that percentage markedly, and helping the rest of the components also last more.
In case of deciding to replace it, you must do it in an Apple Store, or failing that, a SAT, among which are K-Tuin or Mediamarkt, among others, and that will allow you to have an official battery, the only one recommended if you really want the iPhone to have a performance as the first day.
Therefore, in summary, no, it is not necessary or dangerous to keep your battery below 80%, however, if you want or think that your iPhone lasts at least 1 or 2 more years, Yes it would be recommendedthen it will continue to go down and its performance could be affected, so if you are going to do it, as soon as possible, and you will see how you not only notice its longer duration, but much better fluidity.
And you, with what percentage of life do you have your battery? Do you plan to change it when Apple recommends it, or do you prefer to squeeze it to the maximum and not spend anything on repairing it until you change it for the next one? Leave us a comment.
