It will depend upon the settings you have and the time of day:

- With iOS 13 and later, your iPhone learns from your daily charging habits to improve the lifespan of your battery.

- Settings > Battery > Battery Health > Optimized Battery Charging

- When the feature is enabled, your iPhone will delay charging past 80% in certain situations.


Mine tends to finish charging to 100% at about 8 in the morning.

Leave it plugged in after it stops at 80%, or don’t fast-charge the phone. When you fast charge it stops at 80% to cool off, then resumes when the temperature reaches an acceptable level. This can take an hour or more, depending on ambient temperature.


The absolute best way to get maximum use on a charge, as well as slow the decline of battery capacity long term is to enable Optimized Battery Charging (Settings/Battery/Battery Health) and charge the device overnight, every night. The battery will fast charge to 80%, then pause. During the nighttime pause the phone will use mains power instead of battery power, allowing the battery to “rest”, and thus reducing the need to charge the battery quite as often. The phone will resume charging to reach 100% when you are ready to use your phone; it will “learn” your usage pattern. If you enable iCloud Backup (Settings/[your name]/iCloud - iCloud Backup) the phone will back up overnight also, assuring that you can never lose more than the current day’s updates.
