no

I looked into it and it seems no one really knows. What I took away from what I read, it may have an effect over time but the battery is going to shit out either way and you probably won't notice a difference by the time you need to upgrade your phone.

Fucking throw-away society.

Miniscule difference because you're just going to throw it away after 1.5 years anyway

I bet they do, it's fairly common knowledge that lithium ion batteries last longer with more careful and slower charging. But whether it's appreciable or not over a year or so is all up to how sophisticated the charging circuit is (today's BMS ICs can have like 32+ pins on them so probably very) and how well designed the lipos themselves are. I'd personally trust apple phones to have higher quality lipos than xiaomi or OPPO for QC reasons alone, but there's also the matter of designing the cells specifically for higher currents. Cells in low-current power banks can be higher capacities than cells in high-drain spot welders or that sort of thing, so there's some trade-off there, and it's up to the manufacturer to specify the high charge-current cells for their phone and ditch the extra capacity they'd otherwise be able to fit in the same space. At 4Ah in that package, I'm not sure that's what Xiaomi has done, but I'm just dead-reckoning and I've no idea how energy dense modern cells can be anyhow.

Yes, Li-ion batteries degrade quicker if you use higher current to charge them. If you actually want your phone to last, don't use quick charging unless you truly need it, as in you're in an actual hurry and need your phone.

Why wouldn't it?

How the fuck do you expect me to change out the battery? You got a problem, take it up with phone manufacturers.
Amazon doesn't even sell replacement batteries for my phone.

Fast charges also heat up your phone a lot more. It's common knowledge that a high degree of heat will have a detrimental effect on lithium-ion batteries' longevity.
