Full Story
Do you struggle with keeping your iPhone charged all day? There are several ways to extend the battery life on your iPhone. One option is to lower the screen brightness to save on battery consumption. Another technique is to activate Low Power Mode, which stops apps from running in the background, helping to conserve battery. For even better battery life, consider putting the phone in Airplane mode and turning off the radios until you need to make a call. You might miss incoming calls, but the tradeoff is that you will significantly extend your battery life.
Additionally, enabling the Reduce White Point setting can reduce the intensity of bright colors on the screen, giving you better battery life. This also reduces the chances of getting eye strain and may help limit phone use before bedtime, which can lead to better sleep and feeling refreshed in the morning. However, be aware that the Reduce White Point setting can make it difficult to see the screen in bright or sunny places.
If you have the iPhone 15 Pro Max, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro Max, or the iPhone 14 Plus, you may not need these hacks. In a battery test, the iPhone 15 Pro Max ran for an amazing 19 hours and 20 minutes while browsing the internet. The iPhone 15 Plus finished fourth with a time of 16 hours and 21 minutes, making it unnecessary to use these hacks.
While the Reduce White Point setting may lead to a less luminous display, especially noticeable under the glare of a sunlit day, the upside is fewer trips to the power socket, according to TS2. It’s an intriguing balance between visual clarity and power conservation that users can customize.
