So it is better again to do less charge cycles? I know this was the case with old batteries.
But with more recent batteries, I remember reading that it's better for batteries to be full'ish all the time in the long term. That's why I charge my phone even when it's at 60-70%
Most more modern devices (certainly phones, unless you keep trying to boot with a dead battery) prevent you from overdrawing/charging so from what I know you'll get the same amount of overall energy out of the battery regardless of charging patterns. The exception being that staying plugged in while at 100% trickles those cycles away (talking weeks/months of charging while already at 100% to have an appreciable effect).
Heat is bad for lithium batteries lifespans though, so leaving them in a hot car (like over 170 degrees F) can cause more rapid degradation as well.
EDIT: Danger's right about not wanting to be under 50% for extended periods either for maximum lifespan.

The former recommended loading and unloading only applied to really old batteries. Battery technology has changed about 5 years ago. For newer batteries, that sort of full load and unload cycle is harmful to them and should be charged at whatever the manufacturer recommends, usually at 50% and never left at 100% for too long. Batteries from laptops and phones made in the last 5 years should never be left at 0% or 100% for longevity

Can the advise of manufacturers be trusted when its in their own best interest to have your battery fail sooner rather then later?

I don't know if that is in the manufacturers interest, though. If your battery fails very soon, you might buy from a different manufacturer instead under the assumption that the first one clearly produced low quality batteries.

Isn't a modern phones lifecycle pretty much just about a bit longer than 2 years? Cause I faintly remember studies that show that most people buy new phones every 2 years. This is also forced by carrier companies with contracts over 24 month

Do people actually buy replacement batteries for their phones? The previous phone I owned, I had for 6 years before replacing the phone and I never had cause to replace the phone battery.

AFAIK in most modern phones you can't change the batteries anymore cause it is built in.
Personally, my phones don't survive much more than 2 years anyway and if it does I use it as a backup which is nice to have on some occasions (for example a bachelor weekend in Prague ^^)

Could u fight a DUI arrest if u had your Tesla in autopilot? ...asking for a friend

Do you first have to experience a heart attack in order to become an effective cardiologist? If the data has been proven beyond a reasonable doubt that a car can drive itself effectively without human interference, and a human never interfered with the autopilot, wouldn't it be plausible deniability?

Huh ok, I just checked and I can't replace my phone battery. I guess it's the downside for an IP rating.

There is no data for what you have written yet. Even if there was, the law will have to change in turn with technology, and that point hasn't been reached anyways. So called self driving cars basically drive as if visually impaired right now.
In any case, you don't seem to understand how plausible deniability works. You can't plausibly deny you was driving irresponsibly by turning on a tesla autopilot when drunk, because admitting to that is admitting to irresponsibly driving. You can't plasuibly deny something you are doing by admitting you did that action.

What do you mean you can’t? You mean it voids the warranty?

I just tried to open the case and I can't figure out how to open the damn case. It's tight like it's glued together.

I don't think we are at the point of cars driving themselves perfectly in complex situations yet to the point where we can fully remove the driver are we? Its been a while since I looked into the state of automated driving but its mostly 'advised' to be limited to highways?
Also before you get to this situation there is a MASSIVE legal battle that needs to be fought. If your car is fully self driving and the driver has no responsibility, so you can get in your car while drunk, who becomes responsible in the case of an accident?
You? impossible since your not driving.
The team of programmers that created it? Do they go to jail if your car runs over someone?

what kind of phone do you have? if it’s made by a major manufacturer like samsung or apple it can be opened. you might need some tools like a pick and a suction cup to do it safely though
undoubtedly you could just youtube “how to replace [your phone] battery” and there would be multiple videos

the more important question is how do you get arrested for a DUI if your car is autodriving so perfectly

The dumb thing about major phones is just the tiny tools you need for screws, and how much manual dexterity it takes to not clip something fragile in the process. To my knowledge, the worst offender is the iPhone, that requires a very peculiar tip for some of its fasteners. So pay an extra 2-5$ for tools, get a clean flat surface, and try not to break anything.
I sent a 1.2 or 0.8 mm screw across the room accidentally and it took a half hour to find it in carpet.
