Eight Tips to Extend Your iPhone Battery Life
Is your iPhone battery draining too fast? Whether due to age or heavy use, here are eight ways to help your iPhone last longer throughout the day.
Even with larger batteries, today’s iPhones can quickly lose power due to new features, apps, and iOS updates. Batteries naturally degrade over time, but before you consider upgrading to a new phone, like the rumored iPhone 16, try these steps to extend your current iPhone’s battery life.
Some battery drain causes are easy to fix, like turning off default features, while others might require adjusting how you use your phone daily. Keeping a portable power bank handy is always a good idea too.
Certain apps, especially those that use location tracking, video streaming, or graphics (like games), drain more battery.
