How to save phone battery

A standard iPhone battery is designed for 500 full charge cycles. This is approximately 1.5-2 years of active phone use. After these cycles have passed, the battery capacity decreases by 15-20%. And when it becomes less than 80%, The iPhone begins to discharge quickly and loses performance: the battery is no longer able to extract the power of the processor.

This is natural “aging” that cannot be prevented, but can be slowed down. These recommendations will help reduce the wear and tear on the iPhone battery.

How to properly charge iPhone

Let’s start with the basics. The main enemy of the battery during charging is its overheating. Turn this off: don’t charge your iPhone in a thick case or, even worse, in direct sunlight. Remember this if you charge your iPhone from a power bank somewhere on the beach or on a picnic.

Do not charge your smartphone if you suspect water or snow has gotten into the Lightning connector.

Enable charging optimization. With the help of machine learning, it learns to predict when you remove the iPhone from charging and brings the charge to 100% at that time. The fact is that chemical processes take place as actively as possible in a fully charged battery. Because of this, it degrades faster. In isolated cases, this is not a problem, but if you often charge your phone before going to bed, it will be fully charged every time long before you wake up.

To charge the iPhone, use only original cables and adapters or devices from verified manufacturers with the MFi mark. You can find out what it is and why it is important here.

How to save iPhone battery capacity

Again, try not to use your iPhone in extreme temperatures. It is especially risky to do it at +35°C and above. It is even more destructive to charge a smartphone in these conditions. All this can lead to an irreversible decrease in battery capacity. According to Apple, the ideal temperature for smartphone operation is between 16 and 22°C.

You will also extend the life of the iPhone battery if you optimize the settings.

• Reduce the brightness of the screen or set the brightness automatically.
• Use Wi-Fi instead of cellular networks. When using the Internet, remember that a Wi-Fi connection consumes less battery power than cellular data. Therefore, it is better to disable this function altogether.

Another method that will help save your iPhone battery is – update iOS to the latest version. As a rule, it includes error correction, system optimization.

Energy saving mode is a great way to extend your iPhone battery right here and now. The system will automatically prompt you to turn it on when the charge level drops to 20% and then to 10%. But this mode can also be enabled in Settings > Battery. This can be useful if you don’t have a chance to charge your iPhone anytime soon.

In power saving mode, device performance is optimized and brightness is reduced. Programs stop updating in the background, system animations are reduced to a minimum.
