The time you think it’s time to start loading your smartphone is probably as personal as your hairstyle. I doubt that whoever fully agrees on the time of straightening, except when you are completely out of the juice. While some may be good with 50% in the middle of the day, others could panic, just a little, when they reach 38%. At least that’s what a new study of orders said.
In a survey of 2,000 people in the United States, the researchers found that 38% was when the concern slips, and the majority of smartphones owners are starting to look for a charge option.
A third of respondents expect, for example, their iPhone warns them that the battery is low (20% or less), and 13% are ready to wait for the power to drop below 10%.
I saw people adopting much more risky approaches, with as little as 1% on their phone, and, in one way or another, they do not seem concerned. Maybe they always have an additional battery backup in their rear pocket.
Research, however, indicates that there can be generational differences in our battery approach. The Gen Zers reaches a load cable much earlier than their millennium, generation X and boomer counterparts, plugging in 44%.
When do you start to panic about a lifespan of the phone battery?April 18, 2025
In my own anecdotal survey on X, I found that the majority begin to worry about the battery life when it reaches 20%. It is even more than those who seem concerned at 10%.
It makes sense to me. 20% has long been my trigger, which means that I connect and that I rarely see 10% or less. By the way, there is a small quota that takes care when the battery life reaches 60%. They bet, I bet, part of the “ABC” crowd (always invoice).
I received some comments on X telling me that there was no need to “panic” and that they found that certain phones, such as the Samsung Galaxy series, had a good enough autonomy for them rarely.
What you can do
The fact is that you have much more control over the life and longevity of the battery of your smartphone than you think.
First of all, Android and iOS, as well as the AI and automatic learning based on the equipment, make their fair share to manage the life of the battery, in particular the longevity of the battery. This is why your battery does not always take care of 100%. The system must manage the battery health so that the 100% battery life that you live when you buy the phone is not radically different from the 100% battery life that you get six months later.
Under settings / battery, you can see the health of your battery and the percentage it can really load (capacity at 95%, capacity of 80%, etc.)
For the life of the daily battery, there is a handful of well -used advice for iOS and Android which can considerably extend your charge while having a minimum impact on the operation of the phone.
Thus, instead of panicking about 38% of the life of the battery, you can take care of, and perhaps show friends who left the battery life to 10% to do so that they can spend the rest of the night without being attached to a wall outlet.
Iphone battery tips
- Daisse your brightness (subcontrol of the center)
- Turn on the automatic brightness (under settings / accessibility)
- In WiFi settings, deactivate the cellular service
- Activate the low power mode (under settings / battery)
- Deactivate the background activity (parameters / updating of the general application / background)
- Adjust the mail recovery intervals (parameters / accounts and passwords / recover new data)
- Turn off location services on an application basis by application (parameters / confidentiality / location)
- Notifications stamp (parameters / notifications)
Android battery tips
- Reduce the brightness of the screen (slipped from the top for access control)
- Adjust the screen expiration time setting (usually under settings / display)
- Use the dark mode (usually under settings / display)
- Turn off vibrations and sounds from the keyboard (parameters / sounds and vibrations)
- Light energy saving (settings / battery)
- Light unused applications to sleep (settings / limits for using the battery / background)
- Turn off the cell service in WiFi situations (settings / connections)
There are more ways to manage battery life and, especially in Android phones, battery saving characteristics specific to each manufacturer. I suggest you dig in your settings to see what you can adjust.
If everything else fails, it’s always a good idea to travel with a cable and load adapter, and also a portable charger.
ABC Folks, a … b … c.
