    I’m sorry, but could you please elaborate? I’m not being facetious, I truly don’t understand what she’s saying/doing.

      She thinks that if she just plugs in the plug to charge it, that the people at appleHQ won’t let her phone charge because they don’t like her. So she first turns on airplane mode, so that they have no communication with her phone, and can’t see what she’s doing. THEN she turns OFF the phone, so that her phone won’t know it’s her charging it.

      Yes, I realize NONE of that makes sense. At all. That’s kind of my point that she’s not going to be learning anything new about technology. I just nod my head, yes mom, the people at appleHQ can’t see you now…go ahead and charge your phone…

      While rolling my eyes internally.

        I wonder if this is a weird abstraction of the news a few years ago about Apple throttling phones as the battery capacity degrades, or possibly because of the new smart charging that iOS does when it recognizes a pattern and particular charger and limits charge current for overnight charging, which helps maintain capacity.

        Or are there just insane Facebook people making this shit up.
