I like the way you explain your reasoning for all of these optimization tweaks. You’re a fantastic teacher and that really helps your listeners to make the best devisions. Thanks again.
I wanted to prove something to myself, so I once ran a relatively unscientific test to measure the power difference when 'closing' applications. I used my iPhone 13 mini as I normally would for 6 months (my life and therefore usage are both pretty consistent) and never 'closed' anything to establish a general baseline (which was also quite consistent). I then tried another 6 months 'closing' everything the second I was finished with it every single time. I consistently ended the day with roughly 5-8% more charge, which while not a lot, was both very reliable and obvious; something I found rather interesting. Also, this spanned iOS 15.4-15.7, so there were no major software changes to affect anything.
Bonus tip: that I actually learned so recently, Apple True Tone technology, turning this off can (minimally) increase your battery. Because True Tone is using the front and rear camera and other sensors constantly.
Turning true tone on uses less blue pixels on your screen in a majority of lighting conditions which results in less battery life used. Also more pleasing with surroundings and not as harsh on your eyes
These are actually practical tips without sacrifing functionality like others. But I have to disagree for haptics, especially on silent. When my phone on silent, I rely on haptics.
Significant locations and system customization is required for optimized battery to work. Is there any significant difference in battery life if we disable significant location?
You are the best. You guys have saved me so much anxiety by being here. I hope you both stay healthy. I’m going to see what products I can buy to help support you for the Many tips you have given me over the years.
Fantastic format on your delivery; showing where you are clicking, swiping, and scrolling instead just "go here and go there" without showing where. And the clarity of your voice . . . . not too fast, not too slow, but just right. I don't suppose you're related to Goldilocks ;-) The other comment: I don't suppose you have a video on how to use Safari on iPhone 15.

Which charger I should use for my Iphone 15? Can I use my daughter MacBook charger? 1. I have really nice 5G in my area (500k city) so for now I am using it now. 2. I use dark mode except one app which I hate using in dark mode so I have automation for switching it. It works really nice. 3. For most of apps I disabled notifications. 4. I use low power mode when my baterry is below 40%. My choice :) 5. Every time I watch video about battery tips then I review all my apps (notifications, location, background)
turning networking and wireless off in system locations says it might affect ultrawideband and etc. is this still worth turning off? i dont know if this is impacted but i use airtags a lot
Turning off location services for WiFi calling, could be a little detrimental, if you ever call emergency services, while using WiFi calling and are unable to provide the actual address, emergency services won’t be able to locate you, so I recommend living it on. 10:25
Needs more detailed explaination on Auto-brightness. 5:43 Would it drain more battery if you enable auto-brightness while you’re inside a dark room or inserting phone to a dark pocket, and where the brightness will automatically adjust to high amount?
No Auto brightness saves battery life Even apple says to leave it on Turning off auto brightness may affect battery life and long term display according to apple It’s headache doing manual brightness and suddenly you have forgot to put your brightness down High brightness drains battery life faster
@@tahmidabdin4625 That statement doesn’t answer my question. Maybe there is confusion. In 5:23 somewhere mentioned that high brightness also drains more battery. So if we put it at auto, and then place the phone somewhere dark or inside a pocket, then the auto-brightness will adjust to highest brightness, draining more battery? So if staying indoors, why not just put it manual and always in low brightness? Since auto-brightness will adjust to highest brightness in dim indoor which causes the battery to drain more.
Excellent video Dave! Loved the new “Scheduled Summary” tip! Thank you for getting me all up to speed with the latest power settings! My iPhone is older and has seen better days for sure. This will help me eke more life out of it hopefully 🤞🏻 😊🙌🏻
I am always on my wifi at home unless I'm at work then I have my low power on for 8 hours leave it on low power mode till I wake up and my battery lasts me on my 13 pro max all that day till the next day
Does turning on auto brightness really save or drain the battery? There are 2 ways saying about it. Turning it on constantly autogenerate to adjust, etc Kindly advise and thank you!!!
Hi, thanks for this video. When I checked for available updates it is showing 17.1 but you were showing 17.2, is this because I have an iPhone 14 Pro Max? Also, my setting is on for “Automatic Updates” but it’s not updating automatically.

Anyway, I am testing this out and let's see how it works, thanks so much!
Hi David, I am a little confused. I recently bought a second hand iphone SE2 02 which has a new battery which is discharging at a rapid rate. Which of your many videos on saving battery life and what ti have on or off suits the SE2 02? I started following some of your videos but my phone does not have many of the settings mentioned. I have also just updated to ios 17.3. I Look forward to your reply. Regards, Allyn Hansen New Zealand.

Is the remaining battery percentage relative to which apps you have open and how you are currently using the iPhone? Sometimes I find the first 25-50% of the battery drains really quick but then the second half drains slowly. Sometimes I plug my iPhone to charge and it will charge to 100% really quickly, but other times really slow from the same capacity. The overall battery drain is inconsistent and my battery health shows as 100%.
How you use your iPhone, and how much is the temperature (using a phone case while charging or not) are you using genuine Apple chargers? also every battery is manufactured differently… All these play a role in your battery health and charging. Overall, iOS software is very efficient to manage which apps are necessary and which aren’t, so they are shut off. Just keep away your iPhone from high temperature, heat is actually a nightmare for lithium ion batteries.

Why is my iPhone telling me it is "up to date" when it is running on iOS 17.1.1 when at the 14:40 timestamp your phone tells us that it is running on iOS 17.2. Isn't 17.2 an update more recent than 17.1.1? Clearly my phone is not up to date so why is it saying that it is?
After 1 year and 1 month my pro max 14 is on 100%… plus i didnt upgrade on ios17 its to much buggy with a lot problema… so i will w8 with this one 16pm, 15 is just mehh
Battery choosing optimisation option is not on my iPhone 13 I don’t for what reason also I can’t see my charge cycle either but I not gonna buy iPhone 15 just for these reasons alone 😂 Apple should innovate instead of walling software features for their identical models
For our iPhone 13s, under Settings -> General -> About, we do not have the "BATTERY" subsection. Is that expected for his model iPhone (we're at iOS 17.1.1).
@@alexbodi5526 That's unfortunate. This would be a nice perk to have on the earlier iPhones. The battery information is there. If this is Apple's way of coercing owners to update to the latest and greatest before they need to, then I am going to regret having switched to the iOS platform last year.

I can’t find that Cellular date option since 17.3 update.
What about the color filters? Should they be turned off as well?
Which charger I should use for my Iphone 15? Can I use my daughter MacBook charger?
1. I have really nice 5G in my area (500k city) so for now I am using it now.

Also, every time my phone restarts after a software update, the bluetooth is turned on. I have to go into settings and turn bluetooth off!
sounds and haptics, should the lock sound be on and the haptic system be on, or should I turn both off?
Heyyy Dave do you use dark mode???
If I live in a city with a robust 5g network, does using 5g auto still drain my battery? Am I better off to just use LTE for now?
I managed to make my battery health for my iPhone 12 Pro at 88% after 3 years of use
My iPhone Xs from early 2019 is at 84%.
My iPhone X is still in 95% so you’re not doing very good dude
That’s pretty good; especially considering, it’s a 5G device, which potentially results in faster battery drain.

Me after 8 months 81%
