Fast charging is both unnecessary and wasteful for the millions who
charge their devices overnight while they sleep, yet some trolls in this
news group adamantly claim smartphone makers should just keep shipping
those fast charge USB power adapters to those who don't need them, and
scoff whenever someone mentions that they are glad they don't have to
add yet another to their collection, and have no need for another.

Sorry, but I literally can't remember the last time that happened to me.
So the fact that I don't get yet another USB power adapter when I
upgrade to a new device is good for me and the environment. I'm
definitely not alone, so multiply this over millions of people and you
get a significant net energy / environmental savings. I'm sorry if this
bothers you, but again, it's definitely a Good Thing™.

I won't tell anyone how to live their lives, but being a professional in
my field, you definitely won't find me foolishly partying the night
before any important meetings - I'll definitely get at least 5 hours of
sleep the night before, which is plenty of time to charge my devices in
my hotel room, even with "slow" charging.

> or any of a million things that could prevent you from enjoying your

I mean, if that's a regular occurrence for *you*, and you want a fast
charging USB power adapter, I don't see anyone here suggesting you
shouldn't get and use one. But you can rest assured that those of us who
*don't* need one are perfectly happy not to find yet another power
adapter in the box when we upgrade to a new device.

Meh. If I ever do need one, I'm fine with purchasing it. A few bucks
won't break my bank, and I'm happy to contribute to overall energy and
environmental savings.

It is discouraged to charge your phone while you sleep. It could
catch fire. Always make sure you are there to notice that and do
whatever is required to assure your safety.

You seem to be unable or unwilling to acknowledge that a whole lot of

Yes, this describes me an many other people.

That's a dishonest characterization. Stating I don't need one is not
"disliking" them.

I simply don't need fast charging. And I also know that faster charging
generates more heat, which is detrimental to battery longevity. Not only
would using fast charging be wasted on my use cases, it would also
degrade my batteries faster than without. And the fact that smartphone
makers aren't including USB power adapters in the box is a net benefit
to me and millions of others who don't need yet another one - and also
to the overall environment. I'm simply not interested in having a fast
charge power adapter, nor am I interested in getting yet another power
adapter in the box each time I purchase a new device. I'm sorry if this
bothers you.

A washing machine and dryer is also wasteful if you have all night to wash
your clothes in a bathtub and hang them outside all day on a line to dry.

Wow.

What an utterly incorrect analogy?

Plugging your phone in just before bed is supposed to be analogous to
hand washing your clothes for hours?

How about...

Plugging in your phone before bed is like running the dishwasher?

Not that long. My current iPhone 13 Pro will charge from empty to full
in around 1 hour 30 minutes - and note that's with Apple slowing down
the charge rate towards the last ~30% of capacity to reduce the heat
generated, preserving overall battery life. If you consistently find
yourself needing to fully charge your devices faster, then you should
definitely get and use a fast charger. But for most of us, that's simply
not necessary. And there is a slew of folks who don't need yet another
power adapter when they upgrade to a new device. That's just how it is.

You're ignoring that fast charging increases heat and degrades overall
battery life. Adding more RAM or a faster CPU doesn't degrade my
computer's lifespan. Is it really not okay with you that some of us
don't need fast charging?

Disabling only data isn't going to help when the signal is weak, because
your device will still ramp up the radio power to get the best cellular
connection possible for non-data connectivity. That will also cause
faster-than-normal battery drain, BTW.

Turning cellular off completely would help - or investing in a cellular
signal booster. You may want to ask your cellular provider for
assistance with that.

LOL... Do you ever read what you write? Can you distinguish between

"most of the time"

"Sometimes"

What people keep saying in this thread is that most of the time, most
people do not need fast charging. And no, you don't disagree - your
statement says it all. *Sometimes* (not most times, and not all of the
time) you find it convenient. You guys seem to have a *really* hard time
acknowledging that many people exist in this world who do not need fast
charging.

Well actually it's not really much more work to hang the clothes on a
clothesline to dry, and it's not like a phone where you really need to
use all those clothes at the same time. The money I save by buying less
natural gas is actually measurable.

Washing your clothes in a tub is probably not an efficient use of water,
just as washing dishes in a sink, versus using a dishwasher, is not an
efficient use of water.

While it's disappointing that Android manufacturers have stopped
including fast chargers, and that Apple never included them, it's
understandable that they are able to make more money by omitting chargers.

There's still a graphical battery meter up there. And a quick swipe from
the top-right corner displays the percentage in the Control Center.

Relevant article:

The constant stress of the battery meter
<https://www.theverge.com/tldr/2018/8/17/17716330/battery-meter-stress-nomophobia>
---
Imagine if at the beginning of the day, a clock started counting down
the time until some fundamental part of you stopped functioning. The
clock was in your field of vision most of the day, even though it almost
never actually got to zero.

I'm vastly exaggerating the stakes, but that's very much the type of
stress I feel every time I click on my phone and see the battery
percentage at the top right corner, like the slowest lit fuse in the
world.

This information is designed to be helpful. It's not. Instead, it's
enough to send us into tiny hysterias throughout the day: Do I need to
top off my battery before heading out for the night? Have I used too
much this morning?

Researchers are actually looking into the anxiety of phone separation

For me — and I'm sure I'm not alone — the stress kicks in before my
battery ever gets low. It's all in seeing the warning, not truly knowing
what it means. At least when my battery actually starts to fade, I know
what I need to do.

Turning off the battery percentage is one of the first things I do when
I get a new phone. But recently, after I updated my Pixel to Android
Pie, I've found that questionably precise counter to be unavoidable: the
new OS displays the battery percentage on my phone's lock screen no
matter what. And I keep finding myself glancing back at it — was that a
1 or a 7? — concerned that I'm missing some critical data that I
absolutely need to know.

Over the past decade, researchers have started looking into something
known as “nomophobia” that's supposed to describe the concern of
becoming disconnected from your phone. In May, The Wall Street Journal
reported finding 15 papers published on the subject in the past four
years.

<https://www.wsj.com/articles/your-phone-is-almost-out-of-battery-remain-calm-call-a-doctor-1525449283>

Some of that research has measured subjects' physical response to phone
cues — the Journal describes one that monitored heart rate after hearing
a text message tone. Many of other studies have come from self-reported
surveys, often of college students. It should come as no surprise that
today's college students, who have highly irregular schedules and grew
up with smartphones, are often concerned about becoming disconnected.

Even to me, as a person who finds something to stress about in a battery
gauge, this doesn't seem like a major problem. Being without a phone
means being without human contact, help lines, and entertainment. Yes,
we've lived without on-demand access to these things in the past — but
that's the past. They're normal now. Naturally, we'd worry about not
having them, just as we'd worry about the phone or TV going out a decade
ago, or simply how we still dislike missing out on a social event.
(Nomophobia and FOMO often seem to go hand in hand.)

Phones and accessories are evolving to address the problem

Most experts don't think nomophobia is a crucial problem, but it speaks
to a kind of anxiety. Like this year's trend to make our time using
phones “well spent,” phone makers will continually be pressed to address
this problem, be it with extended battery life or ways of stay connected
even once most of our phone stops functioning. To an extent, they
already are, with features like wireless charging that make it easier to
add a few extra percentage points to your phone while waiting at
Starbucks, or with LTE-connected smartwatches (another thing to keep
charging) that can keep going without your phone.

An entire industry of case and battery companies have also sprung forth
to save us from this concern. There are wildly different estimates, but
research firms see these companies booming, growing into businesses that
represent anywhere from $10 billion to more than $40 billion in revenue
in the next several years. There is, without question, a demand for
keeping our phones alive.

The anxiety has roots in reality; my phone only ever seems to die when I
need it most — navigating a new city, trying to hail a cab, having an
emotional breakdown in New Jersey. For me, the concern is less my
phone's death, and more the unknown as to what these numbers even mean:
we need to know the state of our phone's battery, but we need to be told
it in a more useful way that lets us know how to act, instead of just
stressing and guessing.

Fortunately, our phones are starting to get smarter about handling their
battery. In Android Pie, the OS will send you a notification when your
battery gets low, not just telling you what percentage you have left,
but telling you exactly what time of day it expects the battery to last
until. Apple hasn't made iOS quite that proactive, but it has removed
the exact battery percentage from beside the icon on most screens of the
iPhone X. And both operating systems now offer a low-power mode, which
dramatically lowers the stakes of actually crossing below whatever
battery threshold seems too low to you.

These are encouraging steps. But I hope for the day when I don't have to
see that icon at all. Knowing our battery percentage should be like
knowing our processor speed: unless it's about to crash or catch fire, I
don't want to see it.

As for the stress, I can't fault anyone for it. It's easy to dismiss it
as a generation of kids unable to detach themselves from a new toy; but
really, we're seeing people who want to stay in touch to friends and
family. Smartphones are a link to your community — no wonder people
don't want to feel disconnected.

Yep, that's when the change happened. As I said, though, you can still
see the percentage in the Control Center with a quick swipe. So it's a
minor inconvenience at worst, and may be an actual benefit considering
overall stress levels.

Doubtful. Not only is it unnecessary, but it's also just an estimate
anyway, and I have no doubt most people are just fine with a graphical
representation of the charge level.

By whom, exactly? And why should the millions of people who do charge
their devices overnight while they sleep pay any attention to whoever
said this?

So could all of the other electronic devices in my house, many of which
are battery-powered including UPS power backups with huge batteries, and
so on. Should I power down and unplug everything electronic in my house
each night before I sleep on the off chance one of them might burst into
flames? I mean, I've only been using battery-powered electronic devices
for a few decades now without any such incidents, but who knows, right?
