    I want my phone to gaslight me that it’s at 100% when it’s really at 80% to maximize battery life.

    I don’t think that’s a feature though.

      The latest android versions on quite a few phones allow you to stop charging at 80%.

      On my phone it’s: settings->battery->charging limit.

      It may be different on your phone so maybe just search for “80” in the settings menu.

      Dunno how widespread the feature is, but my Sony Xperia can charge to 90% sand leave it there.

      MacBooks delay charging past 80% because in most cases you don’t actually need it, and it’ll extend the battery life. You can disable it in settings if you want though, I use Al Dente instead to manage my battery.

      iPhone 15 and newer do the same.

        iPhone XR already did this. Looking at the history, the feature may have been present as early as iPhone 6. Although that may have come with a retroactive IOS update.

          I stand corrected, looks like it was iOS 13 and newer that offered support for this, so it could go all the way back to the SE.
