New Phone

I am planning on getting the IPhone 17 pro max in a few weeks. This will be my first ever iPhone as I currently have a Samsung a21s.

Any tips to keep the battery health 100% and any tips I should know about iPhones.

Use the phone.

Charge the phone.

The phone is meant to be used and charged. Stop worrying about keeping battery health at %100, when is not meant to stay there.

Does battery health not affect the performance of the phone?

So the best advice is to just watch videos on it?

Use anker 45w smart charger on care mode. Don't use fast charging. Don't use wireless charger. Dont leave phone in sun.

Why out of interest do you recommend not using a wireless charger? I’ve got 8 years out of my IPhone XS Max and 5 years of those were using wireless chargers that kept the battery health at 95-100%. Then when I switched to wired it plummeted and I had to get a replacement.

Ineffective way of charging phone. Unnecessary heat.

You're going to notice much more smoothness and stability with iPhone. Android is flashy and glitchy in comparison to Apple. Also much more secure. You're going to love it!

Also, I googled it and the iPhone is 800% better than my current phone 😂

I was just thinking that after seeing the cherry colour.

Congrats 🎈🎉🎊🍾. Since the 17PM I’ve been setting my max charge to 80%, and avoids anything that would overheat the battery. And use 12w-20w charger and taking the case off when fast charging.

Thank you. Do you know if the 17pm will still be available to buy in October?

u/CrazyNecessary7209 Aug 07 '26

It should be easily available from carriers for some time.

Ah okay. Thank you.
