Do tech companies actually slow down your phone…? Yes, Apple did admit to slowing down older phones to protect battery life. But when it comes to charging? Your phone is slowing itself down on purpose. Every time you charge, your lithium-ion battery wears down just a little. And as it ages, your phone adjusts charging slower to avoid heat and long-term damage. Above 80%, it gets even slower. Why? Because high-speed charging at full capacity can overheat or swell the battery. #tech #technology #stem #techexplained #futuretech
