The iPhone battery doesn’t last too long if you’re very active on the phone, so here are 10 tips and tricks to help your iPhone stay alive!
1. Store and use the iPhone at room temperature
Direct sunshine or putting the iPhone in the glove compartment of a warm car will cause your iPhone’s battery life to drop sharply. The iPhone functions well between 0 degrees centigrade and 35 degrees centigrade (32-95° F).
You should store your iPhone in conditions between -20° C and 45° C (-4° F to 113° F).
The ideal battery life environment for both usage and storage is room temperature: 22° C (72° F).
2. Change Mail autochecking from every 15 minutes to every hour
Go to Settings
Click on Mail
Click on Auto-check and increase the interval or turn it off altogether
3. Turn off Wi-fi
If you don’t need to use Wi-Fi constantly then you will get better battery life by turning it off and then enabling it when you want to browse via a hot spot.
Go to Settings
Click on Wi-Fi
Click on Off
4. Turn off Bluetooth
Go to Settings
Click on General
Click on Bluetooth
Select Off
5. Reduce the display’s brightness
Go to Settings
Click on Brightness
Drag the slider to the left to dim the display’s brightness
6. Enable the display’s Auto-Brightness
Alternatively you could enable Auto-Brightness so the iPhone’s display is automatically adjusted to match the current lighting conditions:
Go to Settings
Click on Brightness
Set Auto-Brightness to On
7. Lock the iPhone
It may sound obvious but locking the iPhone as soon as you’ve finished using it will turn off the display immediately and ensure that it won’t be making persistent calls while it’s in your pocket. Simply click on the Sleep/Wake button on the upper right hand of the iPhone.
8. Enable Auto-Lock
Better still, if you can get into the habit of locking your iPhone yourself simply turn on the Auto-Lock feature:
Go to Settings
Click on General
Click on Auto-Lock
Select a duration before the Auto-Lock kicks in, eg 1 minute or less
9. Turn off keyboard clicks
If you regularly use the iPhone’s touch keyboard then the constant need to generate audio keyboard clicks can add to the iPhone’s power consumption. To turn off keyboard clicks:
Go to Settings
Click on Sounds
Turn Keyboard clicks to Off
10. Turn off the music equalizer (EQ)
The iPhone’s audio equalizer may add some oomph to the songs but it also delivers a powerful blow to the handset’s battery life because of the constant processing it requires. To turn off the EQ:
Go to Settings
Click on iPod
Select EQ and click on Flat
