As in it won't fully charge your phone until it thinks you're close to leaving for the day. Sometimes that ends up being "why the hell is my phone only at 70%, I left it on the charger all night!" because it hasn't figured out your schedule.





This is incredibly stupid

Lots of people have unpredictable schedules.
People will have the schedule that Apple gives them. *

There's a sort of method to the madness, in theory. The idea is that if you don't keep your phone perpetually at 100% it will wear the battery less (something about the top 20% of charge). I honestly don't think you'll see much of a difference unless you keep your phone for more than 2 years or go through a lot of charge cycles.
