I don’t like smartphones. I use a dumbphone.

But this is a wonderful initiative.

    What did you actually gain here? With my Pixel 7 it looks almost the same with 3.1% capacity loss per year without taking any special care of my battery. Is my phone an outlier or does it just not matter? And I almost exclusively charge with wireless.

      I charge wired (high speed, 18-22W). Wireless is known to be a lot slower and theoretically gentler on the battery.

      I also use the phone heavily, like a computer, I’m a “power user”, so my battery thrashing is higher than average.

      Us having the same durability lost on our engine despite me driving double the miles is a good analogy.
