Charging iPhone

[gemz4the1]

How long would you leave an iphone on charge?

I know some people either wait until the phone turns itself off to charge or they wait until the battery gets to below 5%.

I've found my iPhone to be a bit random with the charges.

Sometimes it only takes 3 hours to get to 100% but I've heard that you should leave it on charge longer to maximise it. With a full charge I normally get about 2 days standby, but obviously if I don't fully charge it then I get less usage out of it (meaning I unplug it as soon as it gets to 100%).

I got a telling off for admitting I left my phone on charge overnight - I felt as though I should watch it until it finished!

And you'd be amazed at what people do - I read a story a while back about a woman who left her hair straighteners or hair dryer under the duvet when they were on.  Sadly her husband died in the fire.  I suppose that sort of thing is why we were told!

I've heard that about hair straighteners before dangerous things

Hi k1300

Are you using an original Apple Charging cable and plug as using a 3rd party one has been known to offer different charging times.

I use the original iPhone option and it takes approx 1 hour to hit 100%

If I use my iPad Air charger it can be a little bit quicker.
