I challenge you to find an article or YouTube video about preserving your iPhone battery that doesn’t talk about System Services (that’s in Settings ⚙️ < Privacy & Security ✋ < Location Services 📍 < Scroll completely down).

Impossible. — As that’s the place where the most battery-hungry settings on iPhone exist. Want more awe? Apple ships every new iPhone with all those services enabled.

No problem, 99% of people don’t worry about it. Life goes on.

But if you’re finding your battery’s draining faster than Craig Federighi’s teleporting speed and are annoyed by it, this is the article for you.

Here I walk you through every little service in System Services and give my suggestion of whether you should turn it off or keep it on.

(There are 20 System Services explained in this article — 10 of which I suggest you to turn off, for most people. If you have special needs, you can read the description and choose whether or not you’d turn them off)

But first, why are these 20 services such a battery drainers?
