People really do need to stop worrying about outdated issues. Most decent modern electronics (and certainly Apple products) have very sophisticated battery management algorithms that handle all of the worry for you. Furthermore, most users upgrade their products long before the battery is a legitimate issue. The best advice here is to just use your phone. Enjoy it. Be productive with it. Plug it in when it needs a charge. Worry about more important stuff in life.

The potential issues with fast charging are mitigated through technology, but it isn't entirely gone. There's a small but noticeable difference. Fast charging is still a calculated tradeoff between speed and battery health, there's no such thing as a free lunch so to speak.

Ideally if you can accommodate a slow charger in your life, by all means please do. However, it should be noted that the most damaging state a battery can be in is 100% fully charged for an extended period of time. Hence why some Electric Vehicles and consumer device have charge limits, which iPhone lacks user-control of.

With that said we can have a few strategy in preserving battery health. I dual wield an XR with a LG V35 with Quick Charge 3.0. I don't ever charge them overnight unless roster puts me on an early flight. During my morning routine, I plug them in right after waking up, and by the time I leave the house both phones will be at 100% or close to it.
