hi everyone Aaron here for ZolloTech and iPhone has quite a few battery tips that
you can use to better prolong the battery health and also your battery
life throughout the day and I wanted to go through all of the different tips and
write them from best to worst so or basically rate them from most important
to least important so the first one has to do with temperature you want to avoid
extreme temperatures this will harm your battery health the most if it's in in
particular a very hot temperature so as you can see here it's pretty cold this
is in Fahrenheit so 28 degrees Fahrenheit tomorrow it will be about 56
if you can keep your battery somewhere between 40 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit or
70 degrees Fahrenheit your battery health will last the longest or your
battery will keep its maximum charge the longest that's also true of actually
using your phone as well if you're in a very hot climate the actual battery will
degrade more quickly than if you are in a cool climate so that's something to
keep in mind and if you're in a warm climate you can't avoid it try to avoid
putting a really containing case on it something like a lifeproof case or
something like that may keep that heat in to where it would degrade the battery
and that's true of our second tip which is remove those cases when charging
those cases that completely surround the phone are very nice especially if you
need something that's extra waterproof and things like that but those will harm
the actual battery over time if it just gets too hot all of the time
the third tip has to do with screen brightness now I adjust the screen
brightness here in the control center and that's what I recommend and Apple
recommends is to keep it on auto brightness so you want to use in
combination with auto brightness adjusting it yourself so maybe you go
into your settings we'll go back here we can go to general and then if we go to
accessibility then we go to display accommodations auto brightness is here
and they've kind of buried it so that you keep it on and the reason to keep it
on is it will adjust using the ambient light sensor and try to save battery
through the day however if you're in a very
bright environment where it's going to need to brighten the screen all the time
simply turn it down yourself and it will stay there for a while and then adjust
as you forget about it throughout the day that's usually the best way to keep
your battery going throughout the day now the next thing is your location
services location services that use GPS antennas use a lot of power it takes the
signals coming from GPS antennas that are in space from satellites and then
triangulate its position based off that that technology takes a lot of power and
by limiting what is actually using that or we're turning it off altogether
really can save some battery life so that can be found under privacy so we'll
scroll down to privacy then location services now you need location services
for things like maps or Google Maps or really anything that's going to know
where you're going you can turn it off all together here or limit it based on
how I've done it while using so for example if I go down to Google Maps
you'll see it's turned on too while using I'll allow it to use it
when I close the app it will shut that off so that's how I arrange it of course
if you want to limit that even further you can go into system services and
anything that's purple it has used recently
now of course keep in mind if you disable these you're going to disable
features of the phone as well but you will limit your battery usage by doing
that and it will save you some battery for sure now the next important thing is
Wi-Fi Wi-Fi uses very little power when compared to LTE especially if you have a
low signal in an LTE area so Wi-Fi is something you want to use if you have it
at your home keep Wi-Fi on it will use less power than using the cellular
signal however if you don't have Wi-Fi in the area and you want to keep it
consistently using the cellular signal you can turn it off here and it will
only disconnect until tomorrow or you can go to settings and turn it off
altogether here and just hit the button and it will shut off something else that
can use a lot of power is background a packed
and keep in mind this is ranked from most important to least important
background app activity is up there on the list still but that can use a lot of
power from your applications doing things in the background so Apple
recommends that you turn that off if you need to and that can be found under
general and then background app refresh and you can turn this off for each thing
individual or all together and you can see background app refresh I have it
turned on while I'm on Wi-Fi but you can turn them on or off based on what you
want to be able to use your your phone in the background certain things you may
want such as Google Maps others you may not it just depends on what your
preference is what you're using and what you need to update in the background now
the next thing has to do with notifications if we go to battery here
you'll see we'll wait for this to load and you'll see my battery health is
still at 100% and if you see here it says home in lockscreen if that's using
a lot of power that may be because your phone is getting a lot of notifications
and you haven't customized those or turned any of them off and so every time
you get a notification it actually lights up the screen even if it's locked
it'll light the screen up and then give you the notification and turn off so if
you go to notifications and go into each one of these unfortunately you can't
turn them all off at once but you can go into them individually so maybe Twitter
here you can just turn it off for now or turn it on and customize what you'd like
as far as where you'd like it on your lock screen or not so keep that in mind
that can save you some battery that won't be turning your screen on if
that's off or if you're in do not disturb it will do the same thing just
hit do not disturb and it will stop doing that and won't show you those
notifications now the next important one is your email when it has to actually go
and retrieve that email when you're using email it takes a lot of power to
do that if it's checking it all so often however you can change this so that it
only fetches mail when you go into the email app or it can do it automatically
based on power time of day and Wi-Fi and things like
that that can be found down here under passwords and accounts down at the
bottom you'll see it says fetch new data tap on that and down here you can change
it to individually here or automatically manually hourly every 30 minutes or 15
minutes if you switch it to manually it will only check when you go into the
email app itself otherwise it won't check email and it will save you some
power however if you're waiting for that important email you want to keep that on
or at least checking every 15 minutes now if you need to extend battery life
and you're down to about 20 percent or so I'm at 27 percent you may want to
turn on low-power mode however I don't recommend this all the time because you
actually limit the power of the phone and you shut off an awful lot of
features that you may actually want to use so low-power mode is great but I
don't normally recommend it until you're really low on power and you need to
extend it throughout the day I know some people that use this regularly all day
long and you're really just not using them the features of the phone now if
you're not using your phone and you want to extend it that's fine but it does
limit the processing power and everything so it can really slow down
the experience now Apple recommends that you update to the latest software now
with recent updates and things there's been problems with updating to the
latest software but I recommend it not only for battery but for security as
well so you just check that under general and software updates as long as
you're up-to-date you're good to go and that's the next tip now there's another
one that has to do with Siri especially if you're using the keyword to wake it
up now I do use that often and it's under Syrian search and you'll see it
says listen for and I don't want to say it to activate your phone but you can
turn this off and I have it off right now if you want to turn it back on you
have to set it back up but you get the idea when you want to use it it can be
there but otherwise it is using a little bit of power listening for your voice
trying to pick that up so if you disable it you'll save a little bit of power and
now we're getting down into the ones that don't do as much as the ones I've
mentioned previously do we're going down as far as power usage is concerned now
the next one to do with automatic apt updates if you
go into your settings and then you scroll down to iTunes and App Store in
iTunes and App Store it can automatically download updates in the
background or purchases you've made on an iPad to your iPhone things like that
and this will use power in the background if you want to update
something so maybe you have a new update for one of your applications it will
update by itself and you may not want to do that right now because you want to
conserve power so I turn these off they save a little bit of power and then
you'll be good to go from there on out now the next ones are getting into
things that don't use a whole lot of power at all but they're just something
to mention so the next one has to do with reducing motion now this isn't
going to save very much battery because there's a motion coprocessor built into
the iPhone that is very low power aside from the regular processor and it's
meant to understand the motion of the phone and so you can reduce that motion
under general and then accessibility then reduce transparency you can turn
this on and that will reduce the transparency and the load on the GPU or
the graphics processing unit so that it doesn't have to work as hard in order to
show you things on the phone and then like I said motion reduce motion same
thing it's going to use the graphics processing unit or GPU to do that and
that will save you a very little amount of battery but it will save you a little
bit also using a black wallpaper on OLED display so now this could save you a lot
depending on how often you're on your home screen but if you have an iPhone X
XS or XS Max you could save quite a bit of power if you have a blackened
background because on an OLED display the pixels are self illuminating or
they're projecting their own light and so they can turn off the pixels that are
black because you don't need them on all you're seeing is black so shut those
pixels off and you're saving power anything lit around here isn't black
you're only seeing this lit up so you're not using power to light those pixels
like you would on an LCD now something that is actually fairly power-hungry if
you're not turning it on is your actual lock time so if you go into your display
you'll see auto lock right now I have it set to never because of this video but
you want to really set this the 30 seconds so if you're done using your
phone you forget about it it shuts the display off which uses a lot of power
turn that on leave it where it should be at 30 seconds and you'll save a good
amount of power there now something that will save you very little amount of
power and disable some features for you especially if you have an Apple watch is
Bluetooth if you turn off Bluetooth altogether in your settings here go to
Bluetooth and turn it off you'll disconnect your Apple watch or any
headphones and things that you're using but you will save a little bit of power
bluetooth is generally very low power so you really don't have to worry about it
too much but if you're not using it you might as well shut it off
also one thing that is sort of mistaken by a lot of people is closing apps
unless they are navigation apps that might be using the background tasks you
don't need to close these apps in fact closing them and reopening them may use
more power than just leaving them suspended here according to Apple so
you'll see all of these apps are open I never closed my apps and I probably have
50 in here or a hundred I don't close them I left the phone manage them and I
have no problems whatsoever Apple has actually stated multiple times
that it's better for you not to actually close those because it suspends them and
doesn't have to reload everything every time now something that uses very very
minimal power is lowering your volume so maybe you're really low on power you
need to conserve that extra bit and you're using headphones with your with
your phone either plugged in through the bottom here or through bluetooth is
lower the volume as the higher the volume goes the more power you need to
bring that volume up so if you just bring that down a little bit it should
help you out there also you can consider turning off the vibration motor so again
this isn't going to save you a ton but it will conserve some power and you can
do that under settings and then if we go to sounds and haptics and then we can
turn off vibrate on ring vibrate on silence and just turn off all of those
different vibrations and you save a little bit of power and finally
something that I've heard that isn't really something you can avoid is
scrolling and any motion in the OS whatsoever so if you were to scroll here
you really couldn't use your phone but if you had to concern a lot of power
moving anything on the screen is not only going to sense your finger touching
it but it's also going to require the GPU to ramp up so that it can move the
pixels on the display now this isn't going to save you hardly anything and
isn't going to do you a whole lot of good unless you just really need to eat
that little extra out maybe you only have 5% battery left and you need to get
through the day until you can charge and you only want to use your phone or
something it's going to be better for you not to really touch anything because
you need to save that little extra power and I don't know how realistic that tip
is but it will save you a little bit there so let me know your thoughts in
the comments below those are all the different tips I could find that
actually do save a little bit of power the ones at the end are kind of goofy in
many ways but may have a little bit of benefit from time to time but let me
know your thoughts in the comments below if you'd like to see more battery tips
and tricks videos let me know in the comments as well I'll leave a link to
