Charging Iphone

What is the best way to charge the iphone?

You can and should charge as often and as long as possible... deep discharges are hard on lithium batteries.  Normal mobile use will result in the one charge cycle/month that Apple recommends.

  • Charging iPhone with closed lid on mbp

    - http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2126178 Suggests http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131 for dealing with closed lid, but requires external display, among other things that don't come to this case (or so I guess)
    To me, experience showed that closing the lid with the iPhone already connected works fine. I'm using a macbook pro 2009, as already hinted elsewhere. It's 13'' if that makes any difference.
    But if I have the computer sleeping in the bag and want to just plug the iPhone for charging convenience, then it doesn't work. I have to remove it, open the lid, wait for charging to begin, then I can safely close, sleep, put it back on the bag, and it will be charging.
    So I wonder how this is supposed to work, and if I can "fix" this behavior. Anyone knows?

    I actually solved it on my own luck. Oddly enough, just need to remove and re-plug.
    Here, this is a small chart:
    1- Computer with lid open, up and running with energy - whatever AC or not.
    normal behavior, everything as expected: plug in iPhone it starts charging.
    2- Computer with closed lid, sleeping as blinking light indicate and plugged in AC power.
    normal behavior, everything as expected: plug in iPhone it starts charging.
    3- Computer with closed lid for long time, unplugged from AC power, no cables on it whatsoever.
    plug in iPhone - nothing happens.
    unplug it and plug in again in either port - it starts charging!
    If you close the lid and don't wait it gets to sleep (that is, white blinking light - if you want to be sure, wait till the computer cools down, if it was hot - that's sleep mode) you'll get normal behavior right on the first plug time. The trick of plugging again seem to work always from my tests. So this is a undocumented feature that took me freaking long enough to uncover!
    Now it's aight!

    The hotels I stayed in during my visit to the Holy Land had a plug for electric razors which has the same plug used in the US. With that I didn't even need the adapter.

  • How to charge iphone 5 correctly

    Hi everyone,
    So Apple says to do a full cycle charge once a month (charge iphone from 0% to 100% and then do a reset) right?!
    But during everyday use should I charge the phone for bit during the day? Or just charge every night before going to bed?
    When the 20% alert shows you must charge the iphone to avoid a complete cycle charge?
    Any suggestions?
    Thank you

    The purpose of the full cycle charge is to recalibrate the battery gauge. Lithium chemistry batteries are notoriously hard to manage, because their voltage does not drop linearly with state of charge, as most other secondary cells do. So the battery gauge monitors battery charge going in and battery drain going out, and computes the remaining life from this. But the battery's capacity drops with age, and the calculation isn't perfect. So after a while the gauge no longer knows what the state of charge actually is. The most obvious symptom of this is when the phone suddenly shuts off well above 1% remaining. When you run the battery all the way down, then charge fully, the charging circuit in the phone can re-establish the end points.
    Anyway, the answer to your question is charge it whenever you want, except that you should periodically run it all the way down, then fully charge it (once a month, as Apple suggests). But not every day. According to Apple this does not affect the total lifetime of the battery.
    Oh, one other point. The iPhone will not let you deep discharge the battery. When it shuts off at 1% there is still significant charge left. It's unusable charge, except to keep iOS alive. If you fly a plane there are 2 numbers you need to know - total fuel capacity, and useable fuel capacity, which is always lower. Same with Lithium batteries in electronics.

  • Unable to charge iPhone 5

    unable to charge iPhone 5 cleaned out the charging point and even had a new battery fitted

    The iPhone charger is 5W while the iPad charger is 10W. Do neither work to charge the iPhone or iPad? Since you can charge (slowly) via the computer, the cable is good.
    Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

  • Fully charged iphone 4 died will not reboot.

    My fully charged iphone 4 died mid conversation yesterday. I tried turning it back on with the sleep/wake and home button with 2 different cables and two different chargers. I tried this again with both cables with it connected to my macbook. Nothing. Apple phone support had me retry everything i had done including trying to put the iphone into recovery mode still nothing. So at my wits end i setup a genius appointment for 12am at the 5th avenue apple store in manhattan. (great staff by the way). The Techs confirmed non of the conventional suggestions worked. In the end they did exactly what i would have done had i had a 5 star screw driver. Take the battery out, put the battery back in.
    BAM.
    Not dead iphone. Hope this helps someone.

    Have you tried to reset the iPhone by pressing and holding the sleep/wake button and the home button for 10-15 seconds until the Apple logo appears, ignore the red slider.  Then turn back on. You won't lose any data doing the reset.

  • What equipment needed to charge iphone and ipad overseas

    What equipment needed to charge iphone and ipad overseas?

    All you need is a plug adapter...the chargers are rated 110-240 volts at 50-60 Hz so will work virtually anywhere.
    Plug adapters can be purchased in the States at places like Radio Shack, or at most international airports.

    I understand that Apple has made an adapter so that any standard micro-USB charger will work to charge their devices.  However, these are only available in Europe (their WEEE standards call for reduced electronics waste).

  • Use 5V 1.5A Adapter to charge iphone 6 plus

    Hi all ...
    can I use a 5V 1.5A adapter to charge iphone 6 plus ? will it affect the battery life or blow up the phone ?

    As long as the charger provides 5 volts, and the amperage is sifficient, it should work. Higher amperages have no effect at all on the iPhone. The phone controls the current, not the power supply.
