Some other useful iPhone battery power-saving tips
Apart from the above two methods, Loveless recommended the following tips for conserving your iPhone’s battery life:
1. Stop quitting apps in multitasking – Closing out of apps and then opening them, especially if done often, puts stress on your iPhone’s RAM. It’s a myth that apps waiting in your multitasking menu are running in the background. According to Loveless, iOS pauses them unless they are playing music, pulling location data, recording, or checking for incoming VOIP calls (like Skype).
2. Disable push email – Apple’s Push email feature alerts your device every time you receive an email, and sometimes this causes Dell precision m70 battery drain. Exchange push email can sometimes get stuck in a loop, for instance, and kill a battery within six hours. Loveless said you could prevent this type of situation by changing your Fetch settings, disabling Push on individual accounts, or disabling Push altogether.
3. Disable push on some apps – The Push feature for apps notifies you when you can buy more digital sheep in a farm app, among other things. When it does this, Loveless said it wakes your iPhone for five or more seconds. If this happens 50 times, you’re tacking on four or more minutes to your usage time, thereby draining your iPhone battery little by little. Turn off Push notifications for apps you don’t care about and you will gain meaningful usage time.
4. Turn off battery percentage – Because the battery percentage meter shows you how much battery life you have left, you might find yourself checking your iPhone often. This action wakes your iPhone and uses Apple a1280 battery. Turning this feature off will therefore decrease your urge to check, according to Loveless, subsequently increasing the time your device will last.
5. Enable Airplane Mode in poor service areas – Your iPhone increases antenna power when in an area with bad, patchy, low, or poor signal. This will even happen when you have a strong Wi-Fi connection. That’s because your iPhone wants to stay connected enough to receive calls and send texts, but it is also draining battery life to maintain that connection. Turn on AirPlane Mode to stop this endless cycle. You can still keep on Wi-Fi too.
