For example, I may prefer a low power charger to charge the phone slowly during the night.

 I do like the fact that Apple has now added the option in iOS to stop charging at 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, or 100%.
 I easily get through the day on 80% charge, so I just toss it on my MagSafe stand charger (to use as my bedside clock at night) and in the morning it's always ready to go.
 Just out of curiosity, I should find one of my 5 watt chargers and see if it can do the same.
 And my iPhone 16, which is now almost exactly 6 months old, still has 100% of its original battery capacity.
 :-)

My two phones, when charging overnight, have changed their methodology. First they charged during the night to 80%, stopped there, and then charged fully (and fast) just in time for the wakeup alarm. This will not work with a slow charger.
Now they charge to 80% and stay there. But they go to 100% some random days. Can be disabled.
Thus one of the phones I leave permanently on the charger, knowing that it will limit itself to 80%. It is not actually 24 hours, but on a power strip with the computer room lamps.
