We've talked a lot about how to charge your iPhone to maximize its battery life. Even some professionals recommended the exact charging figures to us. But sometimes you need to step away from the dance of percentages and limited fees and get back to basics. What only electrical network experts can solve.
Because the question seems absurd, but it makes all the sense in the world: What do you plug in first, the charger to the mains or the iPhone to the charger? Even Apple doesn't offer a concrete answer to this question, but there are recommendations.
Let the charger take the first “shot”

The TikTok account @theworldbypablo has a video where he tells it. According to the video you can see above, when connecting the iPhone to the cable, a voltage spike can be created which can damage the device. And for this reason recommends plugging the charger into the wall first.
This tiktoker You're not alone: companies like Huawei recommend doing the same to avoid risking one of those voltage spikes that could damage your phones in the long term. If we let the charger receive this possible excess energy, the better. It's much cheaper to replace the charger and/or cable than an iPhone 16 you just bought. And it doesn't take much effort either, it's just a matter of getting used to it.
Another tip we can give you is to check if the power strip you are using to plug in the charger is not working properly. Whether it charges slowly, the light flashes, etc. If when you plug in the charger you see a small sparkyou should have replaced it by now.
With secure chargers, maximum power is not a problem
Remember that you must also take into account the charger and the cable we use: connecting the iPhone to an official charger is not the same as connecting it using cheap chargers or cables that do not have sufficient protection. And it doesn't hurt to remember that if your iPhone battery drains too quickly, Sometimes it's because we leave settings active that should be disconnected.
If you use official Apple cables and chargers, you shouldn't even worry about the power of the charger. iPhones are responsible for “requesting” the maximum voltage they need to charge, and even if we use the 90W charger of one of the larger MacBook Pros there will be no problem. However, in this case, I insist on the need to use certified cables and chargers to avoid a disaster.
