You've probably read it somewhere. You've probably heard it from some other iPhoner. And is that the fact that iPhone battery charges faster when using airplane mode It is an urban legend that has been circulating on the internet for a long time. And precisely because the subject generates interest, today we have decided to look for a logical argument, or to discard it completely as one of those many hoaxes about the iPhone battery that we see every day.
The origin of this idea is really unknown, and the official website of Apple does not talk about the subject at all. Therefore, we can rule out that it is officially the most recommended option, although it is not discouraged either. Come on, this is a mess. Yes or no? Do we do well or do we do wrong using the airplane mode for charge iPhone battery? We will tell you right away.
The tests carried out by different media and bloggers that are dedicated to submitting all kinds of tests to the main terminals on the market have obtained similar results. If you put the iPhone in airplane mode When charging the battery, a few minutes are saved to reach a certain percentage of charge. For a full charge of the iPhone battery, the differences between normal mode and airplane mode are between 3 and 6 minutes, although taking into account that on average we need an hour and a half to complete the operation, it is not a percentage. too significant.
But even if it is not significantwhy the battery charges faster in airplane mode than with the phone turned on in normal mode? Well, the experts share two explanations. The first one refers to all the processes that are interrupted in airplane mode and that are kept in a secondary plane at power-up. The second, to an inaccuracy of the battery indicator that could be increased when activating this mode without any connection.

I do not know what type of "studies" or websites you have consulted, but you do not need great knowledge to know the reason why in airplane mode it loads faster, even if it is 1 minute…. the mobile / wifi network connections consume battery when they are in use, the applications perform push updates while they are active… so if you put the airplane mode, this battery consumption (either a lot or a little) disappears….
For example for dummies (the values are made up)…. If the charger fills 10mAh per minute and the mobile / wifi networks + app updates consume 2mAh, it charges 8mAh per minute, if we remove that 2mAh consumption… it will charge 10mAh….
It is not necessary to have an engineering for these things ...
Nobody has said that it takes engineering to understand it.
😉 I loved being or not being… Greetings and thanks for commenting !!!
You have fallen a bit of arrogance around here ...
It is true that engineering is not needed, although it is also true that just what you mention I have already pointed out in the article as one of the possible reasons. Greetings!!
hahaha a possible reason ??? ... is not for simple logic the reason itself?
No, in fact in the article I comment another one. That's why "one of the possible reasons" Greetings!
See, this person can help you, http://iphonetudo.com.br/, The battery item is the same as the same face as a test, it will take a while to finish the battery equal to your colleague.
They should kick Cristina out this one, every time she puts things more useless and stupid. Retire daughter, you have to admit that this is not your thing, and I am not the only one who says it.
Even if you are not the only one who says it, I do not think you have any reason to say if it is good or less good at doing what it does, would you like your work to be questioned? Some articles will be better or worse but it is not to disqualify a person like that, greetings.
Thanks Menox and greetings !!!
Hi Max:
Two little things. To be the most useless things, the article is the most viewed of the day. And it turns out that the topic is one of the most searched on Google. Although of course, the same is that Google users are wrong. All can be….
The second regarding your opinion. When you try to make someone look bad, you have to do it with criteria and arguments, otherwise, you can be branded a troll. Two spelling mistakes in your comment, one grammatical. On top of that you use incorrect rhetoric. Aren't you the only one saying it? When you can, pass me the survey you have carried out about it. Is this not my thing? If you are a job consultant or something similar and you want to help me find a new profession, hey, second opinions are never bad.
And as always, greetings and thanks for making my articles always full of controversy and comments. This makes them rise like foam and generate more visits.
It is not "but": it is "If not." Both show off and then they don't even know how to draw up two lines without mistakes.
show those buttocks Cristina!
I do not censor your comment because I do not like censorship. And I answer you because this afternoon I am quite inspired, although I do not know if it was exactly the answer you were looking for.
En Actualidad iPhoneAlthough it is obvious from its name, we are talking about iPhone, Apple and technology. I have searched and searched in the RAE, and I cannot find any meaning of the term you mention related to these issues. As soon as the RAE updates, which it will surely do soon, I will try to be more explicit.
Regards!!!
Freaking out with your comments… I would like to see you write something although… surely you don't even have ESO, right?
Anyway ... after all ... the article is not bad for people who did not know.
Thanks for comment!!! Greetings
I'm with you Afm. But the photo that you have me on your avatar… It's okay, a golden ball for being more handsome and richer… You need titles to be the best !!!
A greeting.
Thank you for your comment Sapic. Although I have better football for another day, today the controversy is already served, hehe 😉 Greetings!
This article could be compared to something like "the air does not exist because it cannot be seen" ... Keep lowering the bar for articles, thank you!
Ummm…. I can think of something much better. Why doesn't my iPhone not charge because I can't see the electrical current reaching the battery?
Better not to confuse bacon with speed, and less when the rhetoric that is used to attack in the comments falls to the first change.
In any case, greetings, and thanks for your comment. At the end of the day one more to add to the account and make the article the most popular of the afternoon 😉
You have to see, why do they comment on the note? What's wrong with it? sure you are engineers and space scientists! Not everyone has the KNOWLEDGE to handle an iPhone perfectly! Why are there always people who DO NOT BRING ANYTHING GOOD? surely the editor thought of those people who do not know their iPhone when writing the article! Be more aware! GIVE MORE, DESTROY LESS ... I don't know, I say ...
Thanks me !! There are always people for everything. And when an article has hundreds of views, trolls abound. No problem. There are many years in this to know how to face them. In any case, comments like yours are appreciated. And your argument at the time of having raised the article is very true. Greetings!!!
I'm sorry to say but this girl is pretty bad, these last articles written by her are of a low quality, in addition to being "from school" (simple little things).
I personally think they should get her out of the way
Hi Uri. If by school articles you mean articles for users who do not know the iPhone world because they have just arrived, you are absolutely right. But they also deserve my attention, right?
That said, I find the facility for destructive criticism really incredible without contributing absolutely anything other than spelling mistakes. Because I think what you are asking is for me to get out of the way, right? Yes, Uri, it is written separately. In the middle does not exist. At least according to the RAE.
By the way, greetings !!!!
I ask, it would be the same then to charge it off, the same would be true since there is no consumption of any kind. regards
In principle, yes. However, precisely for the second of the reasons stated, in the tests carried out in this regard, in airplane mode the iPhone always ends up charging a few minutes before. It is probably not real, but is due to the inaccuracy of the battery marker that increases when charging in Airplane mode, as I mentioned at the end of the post.
It is obvious that it loads faster and why is also obvious.
Without wanting to touch the eggs, it is true that I am seeing many articles that leave me 😳. With airplane mode to
Without wanting to touch the eggs, it is true that I am seeing many articles that leave me 😳.
Cristina perhaps for experts the subject is silly, but for those of us who do not know so much it helps us to know what can or cannot be done with our devices.
Thanks for the contributions, it is good to continue learning and because the reviews will not always be the best, but they are still welcome, don't you think?
Sure CAP! I intend to help those who know and those who do not know. And if that generates criticism, welcome. Now, to allow someone to request that I be kicked out with spelling mistakes and for the mere fact of not having personally liked an article is unconstructive as well as somewhat abusive.
In any case, with the years that I have been doing this, I am used to trolls and people who do not seek criticism from respect and never do it thinking of contributing and improving the information.
I'm glad you found the article helpful.
Regards and thanks for commenting
One more that joins the club »Cristina this is not your thing».
Cristina reconsiders, and go buy all the clothes you need.
Hahahaha land on iphoneros alcabo that, some other iphonero hahahaha
The truth is that, Cristina, I am very surprised by your articles on the one hand and your comments on the other. I have been following this page practically since I bought my first iPhone (iP 4). Whenever I entered I found news that surprised me or at least interested me. From the new incorporations I only see "chorri" news, duplications, etc.
Apart from this, I have noticed that in one of your comments you say that you are already used to trolls ... I don't know about you, but I wouldn't bite the hand that feeds me. We are your readers, we see your advertising (which gives you some remuneration). If a reader does not agree, the least you can do is bite your tongue and try to improve for the next time and not rant.
I do not want to offend you, but if you continue like this, you will be left alone.
Hi Atron,
You have not offended me at all. As for this specific article, I really do not understand why so much controversy when it is one of the most read and in fact the subject is among the most searched on Google in the iPhone world. I just wanted to give readers what they are looking for. Obviously, there will be readers who already knew the subject because there are several studies and tester reviews on it. But many others do not. That is why I have tried it.
Regarding my comments about trolls, I want to clarify that at no time does criticism bother me, as long as it is made with foundation. I do not see much foundation for someone who with spelling mistakes attacks me in the ways that have been done without contributing anything other than insult or a request to be kicked out of here.
On the other hand, the comments of the articles are for that. To make references, provide information or to criticize the content of the article and should not be used for personal attacks that as you can see, in many cases is what they have been based on.
I have never looked down on my readers in all my years in the media. And I never will. In fact, I have always accepted criticism, the good and the bad. But that does not imply confusing bacon with speed, and that everything is allowed for being a reader. A reader can and should if he sees fit to criticize. But criticism should always be made from the basis of respect, and above all from the understanding that there are many types of readers, those who know and those who do not know. And we write for everyone.
Greetings and thanks for your comment.
Two things….
1- I have read the article by chance and I think the topic is popular because of the importance we give to the duration and charge of the battery.
Those two or three minutes of difference can in practice "save" us from some setback and allow us to make one more call or send a few more messages that in cases of "emergency" can be crucial ...
On the other hand, in the particular case of the "iPhone", not being able to access the battery "easily" I think gives us a certain uncertainty about it and its "particular" operation. (This is psychological)
2- Quite apart from the article, I think that criticizing the author of it does not contribute anything good and diverts attention from it.
I believe that the person who has invested his time, rigor and dedication to do it at the very least deserves respect.
Greetings to all.
If those from Cupertino saw the comment that their beloved iPhone brings an inaccuracy when charging the battery, I think they would laugh at the comment, and after clicking and seeing who commented on it, they will laugh all day about the one who commented on it and later they will hang it on the wall of the office to laugh every day for a while at coffee time ...
info:
(You can ever see it on an iPhone that jumps from 98% to 100% or from x% to y%.
I have seen it more than once among so many iPhone that they bring me to repair and even the one I have for daily use, and I can say that nothing is inaccurate, it is the battery that wears out and that is what causes most of the failures in an iPhone, failures such as: using a Chinese cable that warns your iPhone that it is incompatible repeatedly and finally ending up killing the battery by short-circuiting the mass of the phone and the charger capacitors, trembling on the springboard screen , that the phone is turned off and it turns on spontaneously, that you charge it and after a few minutes it will run out of battery, that you put it to charge and it does not exceed 3% for hours, that you put it to charge and it reaches 100% and when unplugging it it turns off and finally that it neither charges nor turns on ... so it is not any inaccuracy of the hardware or software ... the battery is changed, period.
PS: knowing this ... few will throw their iPhone into the trash bin and not lose their money ...
I expose:
The iPhone battery is lithium-ion and has exactly 400 useful life cycles. Apple ensures that beyond those 400 cycles it is not certain that it will continue to work (some will continue to work x time until it has to be changed), during this cycle of use, many factors in the battery can vary, such as the voltage and amperage that will go decreasing due to circumstances such as intensive use of the terminal or little use of the terminal, depending on those factors that condition the useful life of the battery, one terminal can charge faster than another. It doesn't matter if it is in airplane mode, because you hardly notice the difference if your iPhone is in standby mode and charging the battery in airplane mode or not. Now, in airplane mode you can earn "supposedly" in a few minutes 1% or 2% more, the truth is that for the simple reason that since you do not have the gsm, hdspa or wifi activated and so on. and the baseband is not making the processor work the least, supposedly you can gain battery in theory (I can't say it's true because for that you have to prove it by doing test (a) and test (b) by looking at the timeline of the% usage processor cores for% battery usage per x load time = (a) both% and (b) both%)… we will have to test if possible with brenchmark…
ending the matter. He or the one who posted does not really know what an iPhone is, it will be a lot of letters and the »Royal Spanish Academy», but he or she does not understand even the simplest of hardware and software of an iPhone ...
Let's not confuse bacon with the charging speed of an iPhone xD
xD inaccuracy ... I print you and laugh every day with my colleagues at coffee time from today ... it feels like, not having said such »Rare Stupid Aberration»
Regards!
Hello, I am an older Segovian woman who 6 months ago bought me an iPhone 5 with all the sacrifice in the world for the mere fact of having something good and beautiful, and I have to admit that it is too big for me to not get all the potential it has starting with the applications and games all in English, said this and excuse the mistakes I would like someone to teach me to handle it with understandable words thank you in advance and please criticize or give an opinion yes but with politeness and respect a greeting and be good
The battery has a useful life after the time it is not safe for more charge, and also due to a large number of applications, it is common to consume a fast cell phone battery, you can buy cell phone capacity with an external battery.
The truth is I am with Cristina your articles seem good to me, there are people who do not Save certain things by doing the iPhone so you who destroy go and eat the pure shit….
It is remarkable that someone takes the "trouble" to "contribute" to the community. And without alluding to engineering or grammatical issues, the Core of this particular track is the long-awaited and highly sought-after battery saving.
I read all the contributions, even those that are not, and I found some comments where even the fact of improving the load was misinterpreted; It is not that the battery lasts longer when charged to give "extra" minutes in use time, it is less time during the charging process. That minute or 3 less during recharging can allow us to leave earlier at the beginning of a day.
As for how "comical" the subject may be to print, nothing is even funnier than the hilarious presumption, but anyway, everyone who expresses whatever they want with their keyboard, as long as it doesn't pass over anyone.
And come on, if we are all here participating, it is because we ARE interested in the battery consumption of our devices. I found it interesting and in the midst of my possible applicable technical ignorance, I considered it in a certain way something "logical", because I don't know if it is personal impression, but turning off the mobile does not "kill" all the processes that run in the background, since when you turn on again you can see how some applications that you did not close when you turn off are loaded "in memory" and even functional, just as when we turn off the device. I clarify, it may be that I am wrong, but it has happened to me.
Greetings from Medellín, Colombia.
And then what foundation would Apple have given in other years that to care for and calibrate the battery, it is recommended once a month to charge it to the maximum, let it reach the minimum and then charge it fully, preferably without use. What do you think!
