I limit my laptop battery charge to 80% with a third party software tool. Laptops can generally bypass the battery and directly power themselves from the wall.

Does this new 80% battery limit setting imply that the new iPhones are able to do the same? Implication would be less battery wear while docked on a desk/in a car or due to long “AAA” gaming sessions, since it will draw power direct from the wall rather than using the battery as a middleman.

    I’ve been using AlDente for awhile:

    Good feature set, some cool visualizations of charging activity (as cool as watts going into a battery can be…). Been very happy with it so far, keep my laptop at 80% pretty much all the time (mostly docked).
