TL;DW: Fast charging over 2 years only degraded the battery an extra 0.5%, even on extremely fast charging Android phones using 120W.
And with that, hopefully we can put this argument to rest.

I always find the same study referenced, which was good science but also almost 30 years old. I wonder if this is still true for modern batteries?
It is, but phone manufacturers know this and already programmed their charging circuits to take it into account.
But if you’re using 18650 cells or some other lithium based battery for other purposes (vapes for example), it’s something to keep in mind.
