Which is the better charger for iPhone battery life, especially for older models like XR & 7?
I need to get my mum a new official Apple charger for her iPhone 7. Both the 5W and 12W are on offer at the same price, so I am not sure which one to get. She will probably use the iPhone 7 for a few more years (even though it won't be getting any new iOS updates), so keeping the battery life good is important.
She's not that bothered about faster charging.
Another family member might borrow it for their XR.
I've read some sites say the 5W is better because it produces less heat and so the battery will last longer.
But I've read other sites say iOS has the technology to stop the 12W from pushing too much charger to the phone.
So I am slightly confused!
