Just about everything in that article is false.

I design phone chargers and PMICs.

****Just about everything in that article is false.****

Is anything accurate - or have the issues been resolved?

Article was 2016

Thank you

I laughed out loud when ai read this b.s..

Right up there with the b.s. of using cell phone while filling up car’s gas tank will cause explosions.

Yep... Lots of junk info I that advice. I use my phone lots when it's on the charger to avoid recharge cycles.

Batteries don't last forever though. Slowly, they will lose storage capacity and at some point the battery capacity will decrease enough to notice. Typically, this will be after some several thousand cycles I think.

Quite awhile back, the battery capacity on my IPhone 6 became pretty poor. I took it to the Apple store and a quick diagnostic showed the battery had 5000 recharge cycles on it. IIRC the Apple tech said the typical (or rated?) was about 2500 cycles - I invested $100 in the phone for a new battery and bought another 18mo device life.

I use my phones heavily and keep them a long time. iPhones rock, diagnostics are no charge and repairs are available if you choose the investment.
