Charging Your iPhone 6 Costs Just 47 Cents a Year

• According to a study conducted by Opower, it costs just 47 cents a year to charge your phone.
•  Opower's estimate might even be too high (it assumes you charge your iPhone 6 from 0% to 100% once a day every day, but most people don't empty their batteries of juice every day.)
• It costs 52 cents to power up an iPhone 6 Plus, every year. The iPhone 5, meanwhile, costs just 41 cents for a year's worth of charging.
  
• They cost so little to charge, because smartphones (built to last a day on a tiny battery) are incredibly low-power devices.
• In comparison, a laptop uses 14-times more electricity per year, and a desktop computer uses 49 times more. 
• As smartphones continue to replace PCs, consumer energy usage, and bills, could sink.
• Smartphones have also eaten in to video game sales. Playing games on a smartphone instead of a television can save you even more money.
•  An Xbox One uses 61 time more power than an iPhone 6, according to the Natural Resources Defense Council.
• TV sucks up 72 times more electricity.
