For the most part, I can do phones.last a whole day on one charge. iOS is great at preserving battery when the phone is in standby mode, and Apple likes to stick to that promise of "all-day battery life." So, if you are a regular user, you shouldn't be disappointed with the battery life.
But from time to time you will notice thattake too many photos and clips with your camera… or you take too long to get addicted to a new game. And, of course, the charge will begin to melt much faster.
So here are some tips on how to keep that precious interest.
- Use Low Power Mode.It will allow you to adjust the performance of the processor. The phone will automatically prompt you to turn it on when it reaches 20 percent charge, but you can turn it on much earlier. This can be done through Control Center or the Settings application — Battery.
- Adjust background app refreshIt's possible that some of them are wasting battery power. My advice — Install a background update for the application only to work over Wi-Fi. The logic here is that mobile data drains more battery than a Wi-Fi connection.
- Turn off notifications from non-essentialsapplications. Each notification wakes up your screen on your phone. And the screen — This is the biggest hotbed of battery on a phone. Therefore, you can simply turn off unnecessary ones, and for some notifications you can simply set up a separate sound signal without activating the screen.
- Disable Raise to Wake to prevent your phone from lighting up again. You can still wake up the screen by tapping it once, so there is no huge loss here.
- Disable the «Hey Siri» function, especially if you use it extremely rarely
- Disable location services. But! Always use location services (even in the background) for your navigation apps. Some apps just don't need to know your location. They usually connect to it to feed you relevant advertisements. Revoke their location permission and you will save battery on your iPhone.
- Use dark mode only (not suitable foriPhone SE, iPhone 11, iPhone XR). This essentially means that all system menus go from white to black. In addition, many third-party apps in the App Store have been updated to have a dark theme that can automatically turn on when the iPhone is in dark mode.
Why does this matter?Well, all iPhone 12 models have OLED screens. Unlike an LCD display, which has a backlight that illuminates the entire screen, an OLED display's pixels light up individually. So, by keeping the pixels dark, you will technically save some power. - Decrease the screen brightness.
- Turn off your 5G connection (iPhone 12 only).5G is great, 5G is the future, you know - we hear that all the time. But that future isn't quite here yet—unless you live on a patch of land that has 5G coverage. And while iOS will intelligently switch between 5G and 4G to save power, that doesn't change the fact that it will actively «listen» 5G connection. So until 5G becomes more widespread and reliable - why not just turn it off for a while?
- Setting up account synchronization.There are three different ways your iPhone can receive new mail, calendar events, contact changes, notes, and app settings. What is the difference between fetch, push and manual?Push — new information becomes available on your iPhone as soon as possible
Fetch— iPhone actively scans for new information once every x minutes
Manual— iPhone looks for new information only when you open an app that uses it</ p>Naturally, push discharges most of thebatteries, since it constantly keeps the phone «listening». Fetch is a good compromise since you can set it to 60 minute intervals. A Manual — This is a «keep maximum power» option, as it will only load new items when the corresponding application is open.
It also helps to save some battery life on the iPhone.
- Turn off Bluetooth.Can you really turn off Bluetooth on an iPhone? Yes, yes you can. But not from the Control Center. Turning it off from Control Center only disables it for 24 hours before it turns back on on its own. If you don't have an Apple Watch or any wireless headphones, you might want to skip it altogether. Go to Settings -> Bluetooth and turn off the switch. This should save some more of your iPhone's battery in the long run. Just remember that you need to turn it on and off again if anyone — then something is thrown at you.
- Use wired headphones. Wireless headphones are incredibly comfortable, I agree. But the iPhone really needs a slightly larger battery to stream music over Bluetooth. I am not telling you to throw your AirPods in the trash can. But if you're planning a long commute or any activity where you won't have a power outlet handy for a while, consider using wired headphones. The cord requires less voltage and saves the extra iPhone battery.
- Turn on airplane mode while traveling
- Buy battery cover. This is in case all else fails, you might want to consider one of the bulky and funny looking battery cases. They are not exactly elegant, but if you are on the road a lot, they will be invaluable.
