One of the most common issues that smartphone users, especially Apple iPhone users, face is their device’s battery not lasting through the day. If your iPhone’s battery is draining faster than usual, you can fix this issue by adjusting a few simple settings before considering a new device. With the iOS 17.5 update, it’s possible to significantly extend your iPhone’s battery life by tweaking some features.
First step: Check your Apple iPhone’s Battery Health…
iPhone users who want to extend their battery life should start by checking the “Battery Health” menu. This menu shows the percentage of your battery’s health and the number of charging cycles. According to Apple, devices with 80% or higher battery health are considered normal, but it may be necessary to replace the battery if the percentage falls below this level.
Second step: Turn off your widgets!
The widgets on your iPhone’s lock screen constantly update in the background, consuming a significant amount of battery. Data like sports scores or weather updates require apps to run in the background, which leads to faster battery depletion.
To prevent this, disabling widgets on your lock screen is one of the easiest ways to save battery life. You can press and hold on your lock screen, switch to a different profile, or edit the existing one to remove widgets. Especially when your battery is low, switching to a simple wallpaper can also be an effective method.
Final step: Turn off keyboard haptics!
The “Haptic Feedback” feature introduced with iOS 16 makes your iPhone vibrate slightly every time you press a key on the keyboard, enhancing the typing experience. However, according to Apple’s official statement, this feature affects battery life negatively.
The fastest Apple mobile devices have been announced. When we look at the ranking, we see that the recently released iPhone 16 Pro Max is not the first.
To turn off keyboard haptics, go to Settings > Sounds & Haptics > Keyboard Feedback and toggle off “Haptic”. By doing this, you can reduce battery consumption and extend your device’s battery life.
With these two simple steps, you can significantly improve your iPhone’s battery life. If these changes don’t provide a noticeable solution, you might also consider closing background apps or evaluating battery replacement options.
