I do like the fact that Apple has now added the option in iOS to stop 
charging at 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, or 100%.

I easily get through the day on 80% charge, so I just toss it on my 
MagSafe stand charger (to use as my bedside clock at night) and in the 
morning it's always ready to go.

Just out of curiosity, I should find one of my 5 watt chargers and see 
if it can do the same.

And my iPhone 16, which is now almost exactly 6 months old, still has 
100% of its original battery capacity.
