Controlling Slow iPhone Battery Charge:

You Can't: The spreed of charging cannot be controlled; there is not setting of such. You need to know what you are running, and what Battery Health you need, simply by optimizing it. As for defending "slow", that would be preferential.


Recommend this to Apple:

Do your Part: These are user-to-user forums. Apple rarely reads these forums on their own time as it is. So, provide Apple with feedback on this.  Apple wont get back to you directly, but the more they hear of this, the more they will know what suits their customers' needs, and what features to include in updates to come. Apple will know nothing your your ideas, if you don't provide them to Apple.

For reference...

Troubleshooting iPhone Battery Charge:

Visit the following links for tips on troubleshooting this...

I. Try what is on this Link: If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won't Turn on or is Frozen - Apple Support


II. View the Battery Health:

Apple recommends you get a new battery, once the Battery Health reaches 80% or lower. When the Battery Health is 80% or lower, it is time for a new battery.

  1. Go To: Settings
  2. Tap: Battery
  3. Tap: Battery Health
  4. View: [the percentage]
  5. Is it 80% or less?  If so, it is time for a new battery.


III. Perform a Restart:

Try Force Restarting your iPhone. Save any information that need be. Then perform the restart.

Go Here: Force Restart iPhone - Apple Support


IV. A Few Apple Support Sites that May Help:

If you want to slow charge your iPhone buy or use a lower wattage charger. The lower the wattage the slower the charging. Anything under 15 watts should slow things down.


The higher the wattage charger, the faster your battery will charge, up to about 40 watts. Anything above that is fine, but the charge rate hits its peak around 40 watts.
