TL;DW: Fast charging over 2 years only degraded the battery an extra 0.5%, even on extremely fast charging Android phones using 120W.

And with that, hopefully we can put this argument to rest.

    Wish granted, the battery is now small enough to slow charge to full in 20 minutes.

    Tap for spoiler

    The iPhone air is great, isn’t it?

      I’ve been a “Pro” user for as long as they’d had that distinction vs. lower end and the “it’s a small tablet” size.

      As humorous as this sounds, this is not at all how battery chemistries works.

      Some chemistries just charge faster than others.

      for the common types of Lion or Lipo batteries, they max out pushing 2C which is around 30 minutes.

      For something like LTO, where you lose capacity/density, you can get that up to like 4C (very rough numbers here as this all depends on the temperature of the battery while charging, age and other factors).

      So like… this could have been accurate if this was referring to switching to LTO, but afaik, no one makes LTO batteries in this form-factor (not that it can’t be done though).
