So i've had the brand new iphone 13 pro max now for around about two weeks and
it's been absolutely incredible not just the actual cameras on it but the battery life
as well it has been amazing and I want to discuss my thoughts around it and basically
what i've been doing with my phone over those two weeks and making the battery last so long i also
want to share some tips and hints for you guys if you've got yourself an iphone 13 pro max or
any iphone out there and what you can do to extend out your battery life.
So that's right guys it's been about two weeks now since i've had my iphone 13 pro max and I did an
unboxing video around that time and do check that out if you want to see what the unboxing is like
but since then i've been using this iphone 13 pro max as my daily driver phone and to be deadly
honest it has been absolutely incredible i came from an iphone 12 pro max and before that i came
from an iphone 11 pro max now the iphone 11 pro max absolutely blew me away with its battery life
i came from before that the phone was actually an iphone 8 or the iphone 8 plus as it were and
battery life that was pretty cool but to be honest with the iphone 11 pro max it completely just
stormed that kind of performance away with the amount of battery life i had i absolutely loved it
but when i switched over to the iphone 12 pro max within the first couple of weeks i noticed where
for example when i got to the end of the day where for example on the iphone 11 pro max i might have
been on say 30 i was on about 15 or even 10 on the iphone 12 pro max and this did really concern me
now if you know any facts about the iphone 12 pro max the actual battery inside that is actually
smaller than what's in the iphone 11 pro max apple tried to say that the a14 chipset that was
inside the iphone 12 pro max would prolong that actual battery life but to be deadly honest it
just didn't do that it wasn't any better than the iphone 11 pro max in fact it was actually
worse so a lot of expectations and high expectations were needed for the iphone 13
pro max and i can tell you this right now it has been absolutely fantastic
so today i took my phone off charge around about 7 15 a.m i haven't charged it during the day or
anything at all and i'm still at 50 i'm still at half a battery but you're probably wanting to know
why am i at 50 battery and what have i been using my phone for today well to be deadly honest with
you guys today i've been out using my phone just a little bit i did make a couple of calls on it what
took up probably about two hours i also took a couple of photographs outside this evening because
i just wanted to and i also did do a recording of a video for about two minutes or so on it and this
was at 4k kind of resolution also on top of this as well this evening before making this video i've
sat and i've watched about two hours of netflix on my phone and also before that when i was making
dinner i actually gave my phone to the kids and they were playing a couple of games on my phone
basically kind of mid kind of performance nothing like call of duty mobile or pub g kind of sort of
level but you know something a little bit more tamer than that it was a star wars game for
example and um basically that has drained some of the battery as well and it's still at 50 percent
and that is absolutely unbelievable because like i said with the iphone 12 pro max at this stage
i would only really be about 20 battery maybe slightly more by this time because like i said
by the time i went to bed at night it was around about 20 so let's say for argument i'd still
probably read about say 25 30 battery at this time so straight away there's a massive gain of around
about a 20 on the battery on the iphone 13 pro max what's absolutely incredible so straight away if
you want to get yourself an iphone 13 pro max i cannot recommend it enough as you can see here
it is 21.09 and well it's probably more than that it's 21.11 because i've been rambling on but the
battery life is incredible now there are some other things what you can do to your iphone 13
pro max to make the battery last even longer and i want to show you some of those tips right now
so on your iphone and like i said you can do this on any iphone it doesn't have to be an iphone 13
pro max you want to go to your settings first of all now when you're in your settings what you want
to do is you want to go down to battery probably quite obvious as a place where you want to go
and then what you want to do is go to the battery health that we have right here as you can see
as this is a brand new iphone 13 pro max it's only about two weeks old you can see my maximum
capacity is at a hundred percent now straight away i'm going to point out if you've got an
older iphone and your maximum capacity is say below 70 this basically means the battery has lost
basically around a third of its power so what i'm trying to say is when it was brand new
at 100 let's say it lasted 10 hours a day you could sit on your phone on the screen for 10
hours a day now i know your iphone might last longer that or it could last shorter than that
but 100 let's say it lasted 10 hours if it's now at 70 percent it basically means that your
battery will only last seven hours a day so when you hit around about 70 i would say it's
possibly a chance to either replace your iphone with a brand new one or if you want to keep it
go and look out there to get yourself a brand new battery put inside your iphone so there's a lot of
apple retailers out there who do put in brand new iphones and especially the brand new iphones they
put in these batteries that you got to have it done officially done by an apple retailer
a lot of the newer iphones now if you put in basically an unofficial iphone battery you do
get problems and warnings coming up on your phone so especially if you've got a new one
i would definitely get it changed by an actual apple retailer for older iphones so you can get
anybody ready to do it to be fair but that is the first thing to notice straight away on your
iphone the other thing i would also observe is making sure that this optimized battery charging
setting is also switched on this ability is a very hidden ability and it's a very very
important one what it actually does is say if you put your phone on charge at midnight every night
and you've got only say 50 charge of battery it needs to go up to 100 what happens is the iphone
actually works out that generally speaking if you wake up at 7 00 am i will take your phone off
charge at 7am every morning what it will do is it will charge your battery up to say around about 80
charge up to about 6 a.m in the morning and then come 6am in the morning it will charge that last
20 percent of your battery now the reason behind this it prolongs the actual battery life because
actually if you have your phone fully charged all the time will completely charge it to the
maximum all the time this actually brings down this maximum capacity that we were talking about
here or reduce its maximum capacity at a fast array so definitely make sure you have that option
switched on also at the same time as well if you're out and about and you want your battery
to last longer do definitely turn on the low power mode this mode here especially on the
brand new iphone 13 pro models for example will actually change the 120 hertz refresh rate down
to a 60 hertz refresh rate also at the same time as well with your notifications and everything
where you normally get your notifications straight away what your iphone will do instead is have a
kind of a timer where it fetches notifications at a slower rate it's not constantly checking
i need a new notification have you got me a new notification have you got me a new notification
instead it will go have you got a new notification wait a couple of minutes and then go have you got
a new notification it slows it down and this also prolongs your battery life so make sure
you do change this if you also want that 60 hertz refresh rate turned on permanently on the iphone
13 pro and the pro max and remember this is just for these phones only and this will also preserve
your battery you can go into accessibility here in the main settings and then if you go down here
to motion and go into here and turn on limit frame rate it will switch your your hertz to
60 hertz on your screen so your phone will become a 60 hertz refresh rate display and will not have
that adaptive up to 120 hertz on it and this can also increase your battery life if you do want to
do that so there are a couple of the tips and i'm also going to share a few more with you in
a mo but just before we do that i want to talk about this channel's giveaway and it is for this

so another great tip to make your battery last longer and also preserve your battery life on
your brand new iphone 13 or if you've got yourself an older iphone is to go back into settings again
but this time actually go all the way down to privacy click on this and then after this what
you want to do is to go to location services now location services basically mean that your
location your gps is shared basically with loads of different apps and you can turn this on and off
if you want to for all your different apps but one thing i would recommend doing is going right to
the bottom and then going to system services down here and basically what i have done is i've turned
off a load of services that i know that i will not be using on my iphone so for example home kit this
is the ability for example to switch off your lights on and off automatically through apple's
way i actually use the amazon way with the a lady that's what i'm going to call her so i don't want
to set up loads of people's devices or let's say google if you've got that as well if you say the
hey g word you could use that instead but apple's got their own one and they use home kit so i don't
use that so i don't really need my phone sending out notifications or checking for home kit devices
so i switch that off the same with location based alerts i don't really want alerts when i turn up
at a certain place to get notifications when i get there also location based suggestions as well
when i arrive at a location i might get given suggestions for things i don't really want this
on but you can turn off and on different things here if you don't want to use them but there are
some obviously i would keep on like your compass calibration also your apple pay merchant if you're
using your kind of apple wallet or your kind of apple pay i'd keep that switched on wi-fi calling
is another i use that because the signal where i live it's absolutely rubbish so i keep all of that
turned on but further down here there is also product improvement so this is iphone analytics
and routing and traffic so this is sending data back to apple i have this switched off and again
this preserves my actual battery life so this is definitely somewhere where i would actually turn
off some of these triggers in here or maybe switch some on if you have turned on some off by accident
and you do actually need them so those hints and tips have actually helped my battery last
even longer and like i said right at the beginning of this video you can actually
apply these changes to older iphones as well just go into your settings look for the same tabs to
switch on or switch off and basically you could probably prolong your battery a little bit more
i can't guarantee you're going to get an extra 30 battery during the day but you know it might help
give you like an extra five to ten percent battery during the day and that all really really helps
