Cyber experts believe you should never borrow someone else's chargers. It's like borrowing underwear, and you don't do this. Hackers have learned how to implant malware in charging cables and remotely hijack mobile devices or computers.
Cybersecurity experts are warning against using a stranger's charging cable, or even borrowing one from an airport official or front-desk concierge at a hotel. Scammers choose places where they can do the most damage – airports, coffee shops, shopping malls and other places where people hang out.
No, the iPhone does not have wireless PowerShare. It is also not possible to AirDrop the battery as AirDrop is a feature that lets you transfer files and data wirelessly across Apple devices. Therefore, it is advisable that you carry a power bank with you at all times if you use an iPhone.
You can use virtually any USB power adapter to charge an iPhone. Your iPhone doesn't care. Be careful using third party adapters, however.
Does iphone 13 have reverse charging ?? No.
If the wrong charger is used for an electrical device, the internal battery can't handle a different voltage and it can catch fire. Stop using a charger if you suspect that it is faulty or fake. Do not use a charger if you have to force it into the wall socket, and don't use it on an extension lead.
Check that there is at least 9.5 mm between the edge of the pins and the edge of the plug/charger. If the distance between the edge of the pins and the edge of the plug is less than 9.5 mm, there is a risk of electric shock when inserting and withdrawing the charger from a socket.
This practice can be extremely dangerous as the heat generated cannot dissipate and the charger will become hotter and hotter. The likely result is that the pillow, covers, or your bed will catch fire. This places the sleeper, as well as everyone else in the home, in great danger without even realizing it.
Your phone should be at least three feet away from your bed to limit exposure to radiofrequency energy. If you need to use your phone as an alarm, turn on airplane mode to prevent it from sending or receiving calls and text messages. During the day, carry your phone in a purse or bag, rather than in your pocket.
Using your phone a lot while it's charging can also cause the lithium ion battery to degrade faster than it would otherwise. That's because both using your phone and charging your phone causes the battery to heat up. When you do both at the same time, it heats up the battery and puts a lot of stress on it.
The golden rule is to keep your battery topped up somewhere between 30% and 90% most of the time. Top it up when it drops below 50%, but unplug it before it hits 100%. For this reason, you might want to reconsider leaving it plugged in overnight.
You can use either a USB-A to Lightning cable or the newer USB-C to Lightning cable with your iPhone. You can use any of the adapters listed below to charge your iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, or iPod. You can also use a Mac USB-C Power Adapter or third-party adapters that comply with applicable safety standards.
Some chargers may not provide the same amount of power at all times, and that can damage your device. At best, your phone may stop charging as it should, or you may need to wait longer for it to charge. But at worst, a cheap charger may cause an electric shock or even a fire.
If you charge your iPhone while the Lightning port is wet, the pins on the Lightning port or the cable can corrode and cause permanent damage or stop functioning, causing connectivity issues for your iPhone or accessory. Although you shouldn't charge your iPhone when it's wet, you might need to in an emergency.
Unlike most Android USB cables, the iPhone's Lightning cables are fragile. Because of its frailness, applying too much pressure or rough handling of your charging cord can cause the internal wires to break. Sadly, fractured internal wires condemn your Lightning cable.
Problems can occur hidden inside most cables, with wires coming loose and connectors moving. Sometimes you'll be able to see the damage on the cable, with exposed or frayed wires near the connection port. These issues are usually due to constant yanking, twisting and bending of the charging cable.
Modern smartphones have optimized batteries that will stop drawing power once they reach 100 percent. However, when you leave it on the charger, the phone will inevitably lose a little bit of power as it sits there because that's just what batteries do.
Apple recommends, as do many others, that you try to keep an iPhone battery between 30 and 80 percent charged. Topping up to 100 percent isn't optimal, although it won't necessarily damage your battery, but letting it regularly run down to 0 percent can prematurely lead to a battery's demise.
The Best Practice, however, is to charge the phone overnight, every night. As it stops automatically at 100% you can't overcharge it doing this. You thus start the day with a fully charged phone.
This will reduce battery stability in the long term. SImply avoid charging overnight and instead charge your phone twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. This will keep a healthy battery charge lifecycle and hence keep the battery healthy.
