Stay Connected: 8 iPhone Battery Tips to Keep Your Battery Charged
In addition, the company recommends changing the battery when its capacity drops below 80% of the maximum. However, there are many pitfalls during the use of the device that affect the preservation of the charge.
Find out what’s draining your battery
The biggest energy consumers are apps that track geolocation, display audio and video, and generate graphics. For example, video games and online games. You’ve probably noticed that when using such programs for a long time, the iPhone even heats up. This quickly drains the gadget’s battery.
You can check which apps are draining your battery in the settings. Go to Settings — Battery — Battery in apps. You will probably be surprised at how much of the battery social networks are consuming.
Remove battery draining apps
No matter how painful it may be… But applications that publish short videos are most often to blame for the fact that your gadget has little charge. Digital detox will help not only practically, but also psychologically.
If you are not ready to part with your favorite social networks, at least reduce the time spent in applications. You can do this by going to “Settings” – “Screen Time” – “App Limits”.
Reduce the screen brightness
Another factor that plays an important role in preserving the charge. You can reduce the brightness either once or by turning on “Auto-lock”.
To reduce the brightness, you need to swipe the curtain from the upper right corner of the iPhone and decrease the slider.
If you want to set “Auto-lock”, go to “Settings” – “Screen & Brightness” – “Auto-lock” and select the desired value.
Turn on power saving mode
Whenever your device’s battery level drops below 20%, your iPhone asks if you want to turn on this mode. The battery icon turns yellow and power consumption is reduced.
You can also move the power saving mode button to the control panel. To do this, go to Settings — Control Center and add the desired key to the list. Now, by swiping the curtain from the upper right corner, you can turn on the mode with one touch.
Switch to 4G LTE
5G is good, but it eats up a lot of battery! And LTE provides a good, stable internet connection.
To turn off 5G, go to Settings – Cellular – SIM cards. Then click on your phone number and go to Voice & data.
Turn off location services
Tracking your geolocation drains your battery, so turning it off is a good life hack. Again, this is a significant battery saver – your iPhone is using GPS, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi at the same time. Lighten the load on your device.
To see which apps are tracking your location, tap Settings – Privacy & Security – Location Services. Turn off this feature for apps that don’t need it.
Disable Always On Display
Introduced with the iPhone 14 Pro series in 2023 and only available on the latest Pro and Pro Max models, Always On Display does what it says: it supports a darkened version of the lock screen.
This allows you to check the time, on-screen widgets, and notification count without having to fully unlock your phone. But it also drains your battery, since this low-light version of the display is always on.
If you can do without this quick information, go to Settings – Display & Brightness – Always On Display and turn it off.
Install a new battery
If the battery is already worn out, it is “too late to drink Borjomi”. You can check the battery status in the settings. However, do not ignore this point: if you replace the part in time, the smartphone will serve you for many years!
