Personally fast charging changed everything. Plug phone at random occasion (few minutes before leaving home or during short ride) and never have to think of overnight charging. I've mounted magsafe thing on my car dashboard and it was somewhat of disappointment. Sure it's convenient but slower charge was def noticeable.

But the whole point is being able to depend on a cable that just about everyone has. All of your gear has USB-C. Apple just being cocky.

Like this you waste charging cycle. I doubt this "few minutes before leaving home" can charge your phone up to 100%. Every cycle you do not charge from 0% up to 100% can be considered a wasted cycle. And in wasting things we are good ;)

That is not accurate, as far as I understand. The opposite might even be the case.

From what I understand, the battery is damaged most when close to 0% or close to 100%.

So, if a phone could do, say, 1000 full cycles until the battery reaches a certain stage of degradation, and now you used an identical phone, but with shorter cycles only down to 20%, then charge to 80%, you could not only do 1000 of those short cycles, but even 1000/60% = 1667, and still have the battery in a better shape than the one with 1000 full cycles.

I am not certain about this, though.

I don’t need anywhere near 100%. Mere 20% with low battery mode will last me the evening.
