The Internet has been flooded with many complaints regarding the battery life of the iPhone. There are some users who are complaining that their batteries are becoming hot and tend to drain a lot of power than normal when in use. In most cases, the battery can last for 3 hours with active use and this is something that most users are not happy about. Fortunately, the life of the battery can be extended by doing a couple of things as described here below:
Put the Bluetooth and Wifi off
It is no secret that powering on the Bluetooth and Wifi tends to consume a considerably large amount of power. It is always important that you know when it is the most appropriate time to turn your Wifi on as it consumes a lot of the energy. If you don’t need network connection, shut down the Wifi which is also the same case with the Bluetooth.
Use modest brightness
More power is used when the screen is brighter and it is logic that you adjust your screen’s brightness. To be on the safe side, set the brightness at the modest level. Opting for Auto- brightness feature makes it more convenient for you as the display of the device can be accustomed automatically with current lighting conditions. Remember that this particular feature can also consume a significant amount of your battery power as well.
Put off the sound effects
It is needless to mention how the sound effects can drain your battery power. Fortunately, it is easy to put off these sound effects and prolong the life of your iPhone battery.
Set auto lock
When the display is used for a longer time, more battery power is used. So, ensure that the screen is shut off automatically and the auto lock feature of the iPhone will really help you a lot with this. Set your device to lock automatically after a minute of staying idle and this will prolong the life of the battery greatly.
Change email auto checking settings
When the settings of your email checking are in default, new emails will be checked after every 15 minutes or so. Even though this might be very convenient when at work, this can be quite annoying when you are on a vacation, at night time or during weekends. You can however, set the auto check at a relatively long interval and this will help conserve the battery.
