When it comes to your Apple devices, understanding both “battery life” (how long your device runs before needing a recharge) and “battery lifespan” (how long your battery lasts before needing replacement) is essential for optimal performance. Here are some tips to make the most of both aspects, regardless of the Apple device you own.
Stay Updated
First things first, make sure your device is rocking the latest iOS version. If you’re rolling with iOS 5 or anything newer, go to Settings > General > Software Update to check for updates. You can grab these updates wirelessly, or if you prefer, connect your device to your trusty computer and use iTunes for the job.
Optimize Your Settings
Here’s an easy one: tweak your screen brightness and make Wi-Fi your new BFF. For brightness control, swipe up for Control Center or wander over to Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text Size.
Want your screen to adjust itself according to the surroundings? Go to Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text Size, and flick on Auto-Brightness. Plus, keep Wi-Fi on whenever you can. Just hit up Settings > Wi-Fi, and connect to any nearby network. Your battery will thank you!
