Apple is adding a new feature as part of its newly announced iOS 14. The feature will extend the lifespan of your airpods.

Apple says the operating system will reduce how quickly your airpods’ batteries age. Instead of charging to 100 percent right away, the airpods will stop charging at 80 percent, then resume later, so they do n’t sit at 100 percent over an extended period of time.

Most modern devices, including Apple products, use a lithium-ion battery. You can extend the life by minimizing topping off topping off.

Many modern phones and laptops offer a similar feature called optimized battery charging, which can keep their batteries from wearing out prematurely.
