Better yet, select a group of photos taken one after another, then convert to video. If the gaps between shots isn’t too long, you get one long video!

Why are Apple not bringing the 80% limit option to iPhone 14 or earlier? The hardware will put charging past 80% on hold due to heat or continuity camera streaming, so why not give the user that choice like on iPhone 15?

oh, yes, that’s right. Another one of those nudges to upgrade my hardware… 

Unless you’re an Apple hardware engineer I doubt you’re in a position to speculate on what sort of comms or feedback monitoring or whatever may make features like these not an option or unreliable on older models. 

You don’t need to be an Apple engineer to know that if the phone can put charging on hold when continuity camera streaming, it could do it at other times too. See example from August 2023:

I made the 80% battery max with Automate and an intelligent plug on my iPhone 14. But I truly don’t understand, as this is a simple software addition, why Apple doesn’t add this to all recent phones. 

Indeed. I have a Shortcut that alerts me when it hits 80%. If I hear it, I unplug the charger. It shouldn’t be so hard.

Does that mean Apple could finally bring FaceTime to other platforms as Steve promised? 🤣
