Can wireless charging kill your iPhone battery?

I'm honest, I don't use wireless charging on my iPhone X, and i don't use it because i really don't think it's true wireless charging, you have to put the iPhone on a base, you can barely use it while it charges and it's also quite a bit slower than wired charging. And to finish convincing myself to continue using the cable comes the information that I will share with you in this article, the iPhone battery will have a shorter lifespan if wireless charging is used constantly.

First of all you should know that the performance of any lithium-ion battery drops from the 500 charge cyclesTherefore, the sooner you get to that point, the sooner you will start to notice that the battery starts to last less.

The charging cycles are completed every time we complete a 100% charge, that is, if we charge our iPhone when it has a 40% charge and we take it to 100%, we have still given 60% charge to the battery, we will not It will be until 40% more is charged when a complete cycle is discounted. This is why charge cycles don't add up every day, even if you put your iPhone on charge every time you go to bed. If you want you can follow the instructions of the following link to know how many charging cycles your iPhone has.

Co- ZDNet have been measuring the charge cycles of an iPhone that was only being charged via wireless charging and have noticed a significant increase in them over time.

To put you in perspective, the ZDNet partner's iPhone had already completed more than 90 charge cycles in 4 months of use, or what is the same, I was consuming 22,5 charge cycles per month.

The editor calculates that it can complete a full charging cycle every two days of use approximately, so a monthly consumption of more than 22 cycles is excessive. The calculations are easy, if the redactor calculation is correct it should be consuming 15 charge cycles, in short there is 7 extra charge cycles per month that shouldn't be...

After reading the ZDNet article, I connected my iPhone X to the computer to check my charging cyclesI have had this phone for 5 months and in total it gives me what I have done to it 91 full charge cycles, this is 18,2 complete cycles per month, 4 less than those of the author of the article.

My iPhone X has always been charged with a cable and I can assure you that complete a full charge cycle in less than two days of use.

If I continue at this rate, my iPhone X will reach 500 cycles in approximately 27 months of use, while the ZDNet editor's will do so in 22, that's nothing less than 5 months of use less to reach the same situation

So what has caused this man's iPhone to consume charge cycles before mine?

Wireless charging consumes charge cycles faster than wired charging

Wireless charging doesn't harm your iPhone's battery per se, making charge cycles use up sooner is the way in which the iPhone has to manage the charge in one way or another.

While in cable charging, once you plug your iPhone into the mains, most of the energy consumed by the phone is provided by the cable itself, in wireless charging, the input power only goes to charge the battery and not to keep the iPhone working.

So that we understand each other better, when charging by cable, the energy consumed by the phone in most of its functions is provided by the same power adapter. However, wireless charging is only capable of charging the battery, the iPhone continues to consume, therefore consumes more charging cycles.

So now you know, if you want your iPhone's battery to last as long as possible, you better charge it with the cable...
