Thank-you soooo much. I was losing my mind with such a slow lagging phone and it’s a newer model. I even bought malaware app, reset to factory settings, etc. I went through all the options you provided and my phone is so much nicer to use. 🙏😊
Odd how you make a video about saving battery life and discharge rate, but you don't use 'Dark Mode' which essentially changes all the white pixels to black, reducing ALL the white light that pixels have to make just so you can use your phone, which can easily still be used in a dark mode - saving heaps of battery. Strange you didn't even mention this to people looking for ways to reduce battery power.
Thank you, guys, for your help. I'm 77 years old. and I feel so much better once I do everything you tell me and my phone always works great. Thanks again, guys.
I'm getting older... back ten years ago, I would be the one telling this to my friends and family. Now I have to look at videos like this before I tell them :D Solid work - appreciated.
You’re the go to for any info when I have ANY iPhone issues, new updates come out, etc. PLEASE DO A CAMERA VIDEO for info on all the recommended settings on the new iOS 18 and just to inform on what the options are (I know they will vary from models)!!! Love your channel and THANK YOU for the clear, step by step help!!!
I have the 16 pro max and set the battery limit to 80%. I’ve been able to get away with 2 days of usage without any addition charging and the phone was still above 20%. Most of the day it’s in my pocket at work, but at home I do use it for social media browsing and maybe a couple hours of tv streaming. Pretty awesome in my opinion 👏🏼
That's great, I've been finding with my 16 PM I have had to charge daily. With the limited 80%, after following all these setting changes I am hoping to get to 2 days of use per charge!
9:08 that is not how „change with buttons“ works. There are two separate sound sliders. If no media is playing at the moment and you are on homescreen or the clock app, it will adjust the volume of the ringtone. However, if media is playing, it will change the volume of the media, independently from the volume of the ringtone. So leave this setting on, it is extremely convenient

I found one use case of „always“ for gps, namely the weather app. If you opt for „while using/widget“ and use weather widgets, it will do a locate every time you see a widget. Widget on homescreen, opening control center and closing it -> locate. Moving back and forth a page on your Home Screen -> locate. Open notifications and have a weather widget -> locate, closing notifications -> locate. You get the idea. Switching to always results in a 5-20 minute refresh cycle, which reduced the number of localizations drastically(as can be seen in app privacy report). It‘s weird, but it saves me 2-3% a day. Before, the weather widget showed up with 2-3% in my battery settings, now it‘s 1% if it‘s listed at all.
Now that makes sense I’m always wondering why my iPad charges really quick up to 80% and then just kind of stops for a while and trickles up to 100. Thanks for the tip.
I’ll be honest with no one telling me anything. And just going into my little “tech meditation” when I get a new iPhone it’s wild how many things I’ve done well or knew to do or turn off that you guys do. Tho there was one I didn’t catch. So I never expect to know everything that’s for sure. I just wish I had better confidence sometimes becuase that’s insanely helpful and I’d not tell ppl becuase so many years people put me down about it or never saw value in what I say or a reason to do it. Now is beyond appreciated and I have almost like an aversion to telling ppl really helpful things.

Fantastic and thorough video! As someone who has never owned an Apple device (since an iPod touch), this video was useful to show what to disable, and how to find the settings.
I just bought a new 16 plus. I’m on iOS 18.0.1. When I follow you some options do not exist on my phone. For instance: in cellular, there is no ‘cellular data options’ only a cellular data switch on/off. No 5G, LTE, etc. there are other examples. Wondering why.
Just a heads up, and something that's not mentioned in the video is if you turn iCloud backup off, it will prevent seamless iMessage syncing to other devices.
4:14 He turned off “iCloud Backup” but he left on “iCloud Drive” (just above it). This is the data that updates iMessages. Turning off “iCloud Drive” has no effect on iMessages - it is just a backup of your device. UNLESS there is a documented “known issue” or an Apple support page addressing this, would you happen to have the link?
Great guide! Data worth noting concerning battery preservation. Battery health settings don’t work properly. I only charge my phone when needed, usuall charge before I go to sleep, to 100% after a year my 15pro max was 10% battery health and only way 150 charge cycles. Testing on previous phone with settings (as advised) saw battery health degradation of 12% and about 274 cycles.
Great information and clearly paced to follow. You mentioned making a video for the camera settings...PLEASE DO!! Mainly because I need the best settings for LOW LIGHT/CONCERT photos and video. The grain and noise with most of "the best camera settings" recommended ruin all stage/concert photography. Thank you ahead of time.
Thanks alot for the video. This video is talks about what needs to be turned off as part of optimization in the same way could you please make another video and talk about in iOS 18 what needs to be turned on for better performance??
I love how it acknowledges that constantly charging to 100% isn't good for battery health. It’s these little tweaks that can extend the life of your phone and help you avoid the dreaded “dead phone” moment. Also, all the privacy improvements, like turning off app tracking, show that Apple is starting to prioritize users' data security in a meaningful way.
Hi, just subscribed! Are you sure it’s better not to use 5G? And , can you give me a scenario when it would be better to turn it on? I would really appreciate a video on all the other settings in privacy and in location just to know what they are. For example, whether to leave on make calls on Wi-Fi and so forth.
This was excellent! Thank you very much, and I am going to share this with my mom. You made it very easy to follow, and I really appreciate that! It was exactly what I was looking for! You have definitely got me as a new subscriber, and I'm about to go binge some of your past videos. Have a great day!
Very informative, but do you have to talk so fast? I see a setting under screen time listing content and privacy restrictions. It is set to off by default. Should that be turned on? Keep up the good work. Thanks
I still have an iPhone 12 Pro Max and as long as they continue to let me update it I’ll continue to use that phone and not waste money on a new phone. That’s all I really have to!
5G SA actually saves battery because it doesn't need an additional 4G Carrier. So when using 5G leave it on. When using "LTE only" it doesn't matter at all.
Dumb question - I updated to iOS 18, but why don’t I have all of the options you have mentioned? My iPhone is older - it’s a 12 Pro Max & I’m waiting for my new 16 Pro Max to arrive from Apple.
9:11 Having ringtone and alerts change with buttons does change the volume of your ring tones if you are playing a video or other media, it only does it if you have no media playing and use the buttons. I keep this on for me to be able to change the volume quickly when at work or home for what I need, rather than go into setting everytime. You can test this, go watch a video or listen to music and change the volume. You will notice on the side next to the buttons the level of volume. Now close the app. The use the volume buttons again and you will notice the side bar does not come up, but the ringtone bar will come down from the top and change. You may see a bump on the side bounce as you press the volume buttons. So, you will see both volumes are separated in this fashion as to not conflict with eachother.
The only two things I need to know about iphone batteries... are the price ( they cost between $20 and $100 depending on the model) and a where to find a guide to remove them myself. So I never follow battery health tips because I rather enjoy my device to the max and when the battery health dips below 80% I change it immediately. Changed my iphone 4's battery once, iphone 7 battery 3 times - Iphone 11 3 times currently on my second authentic apple replacement on my 14 pro max and cannot be bothered by the health of a part that is so cheap
Question about iOS 18 upgrade: Ever since I upgraded to ios18 my iPhone 15Pro max doesn’t work properly with CAR PLAY….in my (2023)car, which it did before the update. As an example when I play Pandora the error message says. “There is a problem loading this content”. Then it will intermittently play music, or toggle back and forth from my car speaker and iPhone speaker….or not work at all. Have you heard of this or have a recommendation on how to fix?
I was kinda skeptical, didn’t know your channel before. But after couple of minutes, I realized that once upon a time I browsed IOS settings and turned off like half of your suggestions. I kept watching and it was an eye-opener - I remember I used to dig into “billions” of settings in android, and finally realized that IOS is not much better different with default settings. Thank you, you deserved my like and subscribe. 🎉
Hi, Thank you for your wonderful video. Why I can’t see cellular ( 3:08 ) in my iPhone settings. I can only see “Mobile” and there is no option to change 4G or 5G 😢 Edit: Found it, thanks to the person who replied to my comment. 🤝 iPhone settings > Mobile > Sims
You shouldn’t there’s nothing going on here just stopping your phone to work as your phone should ….this sounds good but if you don’t know none of this stuff leaves your phone ……on device your safe ….none of this stuff will make your phone runs faster or save you battery life this is not Android
Wow! Started watching this and followed everything I had to turn off while at work. Very helpful and clear explanations on why certain settings must be turned off. Appreciate the work! Earned a new subscriber.
Thanks a million for this upload! For the 1st time ever, I switched from Galaxy to iPhone and I’m (quite literally) learning everything from scratch like a child in Kindergarten…. This may prove to be the most useful phone video I have ever watched! Cheers from Florida!!!
This is such a good video. I already had about half the settings changed as suggested, but I learned about a lot more. Even more importantly, I can share this video with friends and family who aren't as concerned about privacy as I am. Since they are already clicking through the settings to follow along with your suggestions, it will be easier than convincing them to dig through on their own. Much appreciated!
You don't get it. This technique preserves your battery for years. You can give your old iPhones to your grandma and the battery will still be amazing. It's also important to note that it's not just a tip that TH-camrs invented, Apple themselves recommend doing this. Try reading the battery care section on their website.
@@One.Zero.One101 Yeah, I indeed do not get it. Why would I bother with this? Why do I care that my battery is “preserved for years” when I don’t use 20% of it from the start?
@@One.Zero.One101 Started only charging to 80% on my 15 Pro Max since the beginning, first months the battery health stayed at 100%, but a year later im down to 96%. In my mind this doesn´t make sense since charging till 80% should be way more healthier for the battery...
I've also been curious as to how this is supposed to help preserve battery life. Been having iPhone 6S Plus for about 10 years and the battery health is 67%. Never left it to charge overnight but would charge at least once daily or on alternate days if I use it more when battery level is at 20% and turn off charging when it's 100%. Wondering if I were to stop charging at 80% all these years will the battery life remain at 80% when it's 10 years old?
I saw another comment stating that the slider NOT appearing may have something to do with battery health. I think that may be correct. I have an iPhone 12 mini with 79% battery health, and I don’t have the slider either.
@@vincentneibert1333 I do recommend you to change your battery since iOS downperformance the system itself if its less than 85% of battery to keep the battery alive and you might notice it slower than when you bought it.
Dont worry at all. Just USE your batteries. Moder batteries can handle “bEiNg cHaRGeD tO 100%”. Also in your case you can start thinking about changing your battery
@@lao-ce8982 New out of store; I never let it down below 15% I have setup the automation which shouts whenever my battery is below or above a certain threshold.
The 5G literally blew my mind, I switched from At&t to Tmobile and my phone was saying 5G since I switched the sim and my battery life has been dying completely fast since then, true life saver thank you
It's only on 14 pro and up. But you dont really want this thing turned on, most people dont need it and it drains your battery. I know he said it doesnt use much but fact is it uses enough for you to notice so just keep it turned off.
@@killac45we have 2 iPads and 2 iPhone SE. had them 4-5 years and they’ve been on charge that whole time when we weren’t going somewhere. The batteries are just fine.
Omg thanks for all the tricks! I completely forgot the apple to subscription that I got for free when purchasing my iPhone. I never use it sind it’s literally shite, so thanks for saving me another ten bucks or so!!
So, I'm confused. 3:35 or so in the video, you have us switch to LTE... but then you go back and turn 5G Auto on, in order to turn off 5G Standalone, and then leave it on 5G Auto. Is that what you're doing? I don't know if we're supposed to leave it on LTE or 5G Auto, per your video.
If 4G is fast enough for you (it is for most people) I recommend to turn 5G off completely, I always do that, really have no need for 5G since 4G is fast enough. Plus 5G is using a lot more battery so not so good. Leave it on 4G only and you will be happy with that.
My Verizon store guy told me how to turn off 5G for the LTE bc I didn’t get 5G to my old house. When I moved I have a cell tower right behind me so thought 5G was faster. Didn’t realize til now that it uses battery faster. Thanks!!
You will have to go back in settings and turn it back on, I always leave it on, you still need faceid to access the hidden album so you are safe and secure, no need to also have it hidden from the list in photos.
My phone is showing that there is unknown microphone even though I’ve disabled access for all the apps is this something that can be fixed or should I be worried?
Or you can just charge to 100% and get on with your life. People are so neurotic when it comes to battery health, it's just ridiculous. Charging cycles are just one factor. People bring their phones everywhere -from very hot environments to extremely cold environments and somehow they don't understand that this will also degrade their batteries. I'd say use the phone as it should be used and replace the battery when it is time. No matter how well you treat it the battery won't last forever.
Another one of my favorite videos. I really bow to your iPhone wisdom. Keep up the good work. I’ve a question regarding my new iPhone 16 pro max: is it okay/safe for the phone’s battery life to turn it off every night? I’ve noticed that the do not disturb and the airplane mode did not result in a stronger 100% battery the next day for me and lasted me for 14 hours before showing 99%. I do not charge my phone overnight. I charge it just before going to bed and use the charged phone all day. Please share your iPhone wisdom, as always. Many thanks.
I disagree with turning off the change with button and I think you’re wrong. When on, it changes the volumes independently. When you lower the volume of a TH-cam video with the buttons you do not affect your system volumes at all. App/music volume slider is displayed on the left. System slider is at the top. It’s been like this for a long time.
@@loverule9320it’s definitely an incremental thing, but its effects compound over time. Essentially, the maximum charge your phone’s battery can hold will drop. However, your phone will calibrate and display 100% at whatever “full” charge is. For example: my iPhone 14 Pro has a 3200 mAh battery, but the battery health page in settings shows that its maximum capacity is at 86%. That means that when my phone shows 100% battery, it is actually at 100% of the reduced capacity, which is 3200 mAh * 86%, or 2752 mAh. Every lithium ion battery degrades like this, but keeping it at a fully charged or fully depleted state for extended periods accelerates the process.
@@loverule9320my phone constantly won’t charge past 80%. It does sometimes but tbh the majority of times it’ll charge to 80% then act like that’s as far as it wants to go.
Some of the Tips are good. Others like the low data mode or iCloud backup are terrible. And the worst part; you're only going to realize that once you need to restore a Backup.. There's a reason that these options are set by default.
@@adriantorres7858 Well somehow my elaborate answer was deleted.. in Short: Low data mode will stop your apps from updating for new information. Say your friend sends you a message on some app, well now you won't receive it until you open said app. Picture backups are also disabled. iCloud backup backs up all your apps, settings, passwords, pictures etc. If you lose your phone or it dies, then its all gone. I'm disappointed that there are no Pro's and Con's told in this video. Best practice is to not let someone else tell you what to set if you don't understand what it does. Chances are the other Person doesn't fully understand his tips either.
They're not terrible, it depends on user preference. I don't backup my photos and videos on iCloud so having that on would be useless to me. My backups are all synced to an external hard drive.

I would really appreciate a video on all the other settings in privacy and in location just to know what they are. For example, whether to leave on make calls on Wi-Fi and so forth.
This was excellent! Thank you very much, and I am going to share this with my mom. You made it very easy to follow, and I really appreciate that! It was exactly what I was looking for! You have definitely got me as a new subscriber, and I'm about to go binge some of your past videos. Have a great day!
I turned off clean energy and optimized charging and my iphone 13 pro max has been sitting at Maximum capacity 90% for about 6 months.
10% battery loss in 6 months is horrible.
@@thegameof_life5519 iPhone was bought sept 2021 so 10% in almost 3 years.
my 14PM is 2 years old now and Im still at 97% capacity 💪
@@junkiexl86do you update you software?
📱 THANK YOU so much for the list of instructions. You are my go-to channel when I updated the iOS on my phone. 📱
Very much needed video for me because my main Android cellphone was stolen and now using instead my emergency backup iPhone 13 Pro Max and learning !!
Very informative, but do you have to talk so fast? I see a setting under screen time listing content and privacy restrictions. It is set to off by default. Should that be turned on? Keep up the good work. Thanks
Not updating to 18 until 18..1 comes out , usually glitches with these upsides,
if you don’t have the slider just put it on 80% it’s not a big deal
5G Standalone does not prevent the phone from using LTE. It is an upgrade available on some carrier’s 5G networks. Better to leave it how you find it.
I still have an iPhone 12 Pro Max and as long as they continue to let me update it I’ll continue to use that phone and not waste money on a new phone. That’s all I really have to!
I bought 3 weeks ago and my battery is 97% why😢 are we same?
I would have as well, if it hasn’t got stolen last year. I loved that phone.
I have the 11 and plan on using it as long as possible
@@Hanna__qalbi275the iPhone 12 lineup hah terrible batteries. I’m sitting at 78% on my 12 pro max but granted I’ve used it since 2020
It really is just the same phones over and over
Great video! They bury new little settings with each update, so thanks for the walkthrough.
8:54 this is so helpful and it makes me so mad… why tf would i want a silent alarm at 6:30 in the morning?!! 🤬 i need to wake up!
True
Great video…Thank you very much.
Please DO make a camera usage video!!
Excellent video as always, would love to see similar video on ipad ios 18....
5G SA actually saves battery because it doesn't need an additional 4G Carrier. So when using 5G leave it on. When using "LTE only" it doesn't matter at all.
Yeah, his 5G SA explanation makes no sense. Leave it on unless it's causing problems.
Dumb question - I updated to iOS 18, but why don’t I have all of the options you have mentioned? My iPhone is older - it’s a 12 Pro Max & I’m waiting for my new 16 Pro Max to arrive from Apple.
You’re screwed
9:11 Having ringtone and alerts change with buttons does change the volume of your ring tones if you are playing a video or other media, it only does it if you have no media playing and use the buttons. I keep this on for me to be able to change the volume quickly when at work or home for what I need, rather than go into setting everytime. You can test this, go watch a video or listen to music and change the volume. You will notice on the side next to the buttons the level of volume. Now close the app. The use the volume buttons again and you will notice the side bar does not come up, but the ringtone bar will come down from the top and change. You may see a bump on the side bounce as you press the volume buttons. So, you will see both volumes are separated in this fashion as to not conflict with eachother.
The only two things I need to know about iphone batteries... are the price ( they cost between $20 and $100 depending on the model) and a where to find a guide to remove them myself. So I never follow battery health tips because I rather enjoy my device to the max and when the battery health dips below 80% I change it immediately. Changed my iphone 4's battery once, iphone 7 battery 3 times - Iphone 11 3 times currently on my second authentic apple replacement on my 14 pro max and cannot be bothered by the health of a part that is so cheap
Yes, please make a video covering all the camera settings in iOS 18. Thank you!
Absolutely would be lost without your channel. Thank you so very much. 🙏❣️
So helpful! Would love a separate video on iOS 18 camera settings.
Question about iOS 18 upgrade:
Ever since I upgraded to ios18 my iPhone 15Pro max doesn’t work properly with CAR PLAY….in my (2023)car, which it did before the update. As an example when I play Pandora the error message says. “There is a problem loading this content”. Then it will intermittently play music, or toggle back and forth from my car speaker and iPhone speaker….or not work at all. Have you heard of this or have a recommendation on how to fix?
I was kinda skeptical, didn’t know your channel before. But after couple of minutes, I realized that once upon a time I browsed IOS settings and turned off like half of your suggestions. I kept watching and it was an eye-opener - I remember I used to dig into “billions” of settings in android, and finally realized that IOS is not much better different with default settings. Thank you, you deserved my like and subscribe. 🎉
Thank you so much ! Nice to see you back
Hi, Thank you for your wonderful video. Why I can’t see cellular ( 3:08 ) in my iPhone settings. I can only see “Mobile” and there is no option to change 4G or 5G 😢
Edit: Found it, thanks to the person who replied to my comment. 🤝
iPhone settings > Mobile > Sims
Me too , are you using the beta version ?
@@CEOWONG Nope. It appears “iOS 18.0” in my settings.
Mine has no cellular too, and it falls under "SIMs" > Primary. Perhaps because I had both physical and eSIM.
@@bradford2211 You legend, found it. Thank you. 🤝🙌🏼
The only channel I go to after I update lol
…the only comment I go to when I wanna 2nd that.
You shouldn’t there’s nothing going on here just stopping your phone to work as your phone should ….this sounds good but if you don’t know none of this stuff leaves your phone ……on device your safe ….none of this stuff will make your phone runs faster or save you battery life this is not Android
As far as the usual stuff he usually talks about I mean
Same lol
Same here.
Wow! Started watching this and followed everything I had to turn off while at work. Very helpful and clear explanations on why certain settings must be turned off. Appreciate the work! Earned a new subscriber.
It would be cool to go over in a separate all the new iPhone camera setting for iOS18.
You are wonderful! Thanks for these tips.
This battery charging is available only from iphone 15? I dont have it on 14 pro
15pro only
15 plus here and is available for me.
iPhone 13/iOS 18 here and I don't have it, dam it.....
I wonder if it depends on 18.1 because 18.0 doesn't have intelligence.
I got a normal 15 and it works
The bit about the alarm clock was very helpful didn’t realise 😺👍🙏
Thanks a million for this upload! For the 1st time ever, I switched from Galaxy to iPhone and I’m (quite literally) learning everything from scratch like a child in Kindergarten…. This may prove to be the most useful phone video I have ever watched! Cheers from Florida!!!
This is such a good video. I already had about half the settings changed as suggested, but I learned about a lot more. Even more importantly, I can share this video with friends and family who aren't as concerned about privacy as I am. Since they are already clicking through the settings to follow along with your suggestions, it will be easier than convincing them to dig through on their own. Much appreciated!
So instead of waiting couple years to degrade my battery to 80%, I can have 80% capacity from day one 😂
You don't get it. This technique preserves your battery for years. You can give your old iPhones to your grandma and the battery will still be amazing. It's also important to note that it's not just a tip that TH-camrs invented, Apple themselves recommend doing this. Try reading the battery care section on their website.
@@One.Zero.One101 Yeah, I indeed do not get it. Why would I bother with this? Why do I care that my battery is “preserved for years” when I don’t use 20% of it from the start?
@@One.Zero.One101 Started only charging to 80% on my 15 Pro Max since the beginning, first months the battery health stayed at 100%, but a year later im down to 96%. In my mind this doesn´t make sense since charging till 80% should be way more healthier for the battery...
If you use the phone the same amount of time, your charging cycles won´t change. I wonder if apple bases their SoH estimation mainly on that number.
I've also been curious as to how this is supposed to help preserve battery life. Been having iPhone 6S Plus for about 10 years and the battery health is 67%. Never left it to charge overnight but would charge at least once daily or on alternate days if I use it more when battery level is at 20% and turn off charging when it's 100%. Wondering if I were to stop charging at 80% all these years will the battery life remain at 80% when it's 10 years old?
I’ve been on iOS 18 for what feels like about 6 months now. Same iOS but with some android features
You need some glasses boy! There is a noticeable difference between IOS 18 and previous version's.
@@CiroDiMaRzio12304 Only if you dig deep enough
thanks, i just got my very first iPhone. as a previous life long Samsung flagship phone user learning these tricks on iOS is very helpful
if you're out and about though, wouldn't you want cellular on for background app refresh? otherwise you can miss important notifications...
The only Chanel I trust when it comes to arrange any things in my settings to save battery life 😂❤
I saw another comment stating that the slider NOT appearing may have something to do with battery health. I think that may be correct. I have an iPhone 12 mini with 79% battery health, and I don’t have the slider either.
Correction: I have 79% battery maximum capacity.
My friend has iphone 14 promax 88% battery and no slider bar.
@@vincentneibert1333 I do recommend you to change your battery since iOS downperformance the system itself if its less than 85% of battery to keep the battery alive and you might notice it slower than when you bought it.
Dont worry at all. Just USE your batteries. Moder batteries can handle “bEiNg cHaRGeD tO 100%”. Also in your case you can start thinking about changing your battery
You wont even need that slider any more cuz your battery is already worn out
I charge my phone only upto 91% but still in one year my maximum capacity fell down to 89%
Try not to go under 20% either. Did you buy the phone second hand? Or new out of the store?
@@lao-ce8982 New out of store; I never let it down below 15% I have setup the automation which shouts whenever my battery is below or above a certain threshold.
The 5G literally blew my mind, I switched from At&t to Tmobile and my phone was saying 5G since I switched the sim and my battery life has been dying completely fast since then, true life saver thank you
🙋🏼 reply please…
Can I turn off & turn in / sign off my iPhone ?
9:46 Looks like “Always on Display” is not on iPhone 12 Pro iOS 18 because I don’t see it.
Always on display didn’t exist on iOS til the iPhone 14 Pro
It's only on 14 pro and up. But you dont really want this thing turned on, most people dont need it and it drains your battery. I know he said it doesnt use much but fact is it uses enough for you to notice so just keep it turned off.
iphone 12 pro doesn't have this option this is limited to the newer iphones fyi.
My battery doesn’t have a slider option.
Mine either
Dont worry at all. Just USE your batteries. Moder batteries can handle “bEiNg cHaRGeD tO 100%”
Only on iPhone 15/16
@@killac45we have 2 iPads and 2 iPhone SE. had them 4-5 years and they’ve been on charge that whole time when we weren’t going somewhere. The batteries are just fine.
Did you update to ios 18?
I appreciate it!!! I just got my iPhone 16 yesterday and it’s my first time using iOS 18.
Omg thanks for all the tricks! I completely forgot the apple to subscription that I got for free when purchasing my iPhone. I never use it sind it’s literally shite, so thanks for saving me another ten bucks or so!!
Some of these are necessary, others are your preferences or OCD and probably not even worth mentioning, like lock sound…
So, I'm confused. 3:35 or so in the video, you have us switch to LTE... but then you go back and turn 5G Auto on, in order to turn off 5G Standalone, and then leave it on 5G Auto. Is that what you're doing? I don't know if we're supposed to leave it on LTE or 5G Auto, per your video.
I noticed that also.
If 4G is fast enough for you (it is for most people) I recommend to turn 5G off completely, I always do that, really have no need for 5G since 4G is fast enough. Plus 5G is using a lot more battery so not so good. Leave it on 4G only and you will be happy with that.
My Verizon store guy told me how to turn off 5G for the LTE bc I didn’t get 5G to my old house. When I moved I have a cell tower right behind me so thought 5G was faster. Didn’t realize til now that it uses battery faster. Thanks!!
17:02 so if you turn this hidden album switch off, how do I access that album?
How
Go back n turn it on
You will have to go back in settings and turn it back on, I always leave it on, you still need faceid to access the hidden album so you are safe and secure, no need to also have it hidden from the list in photos.
Thank you I needed this video never stop doing videos of settings to turn off on new ios updates
My phone is showing that there is unknown microphone even though I’ve disabled access for all the apps is this something that can be fixed or should I be worried?
So, buy the IPhone 16 Pro Max because it has a bigger battery that you can charge to only 90% and still get a decent amount of usage? 🤔😉
Or you can just charge to 100% and get on with your life. People are so neurotic when it comes to battery health, it's just ridiculous. Charging cycles are just one factor. People bring their phones everywhere -from very hot environments to extremely cold environments and somehow they don't understand that this will also degrade their batteries. I'd say use the phone as it should be used and replace the battery when it is time. No matter how well you treat it the battery won't last forever.
@@dm8579i use my 11 pro max till now almost 5 years, my batt health 85%, what im doing everyday, charge it until full 100%…
15 plus here, the battery slider works for me.
Back after 2 months.
Another one of my favorite videos. I really bow to your iPhone wisdom. Keep up the good work. I’ve a question regarding my new iPhone 16 pro max: is it okay/safe for the phone’s battery life to turn it off every night? I’ve noticed that the do not disturb and the airplane mode did not result in a stronger 100% battery the next day for me and lasted me for 14 hours before showing 99%. I do not charge my phone overnight. I charge it just before going to bed and use the charged phone all day. Please share your iPhone wisdom, as always. Many thanks.
Recently got my iPhone 13 after having the XR for almost 4 years and it was extremely helpful!
I disagree with turning off the change with button and I think you’re wrong. When on, it changes the volumes independently.
When you lower the volume of a TH-cam video with the buttons you do not affect your system volumes at all.
App/music volume slider is displayed on the left. System slider is at the top. It’s been like this for a long time.
Yess bro
0:53 that setting was there before? At least for an 80% cutoff
I have never had a problem with my battery charging it at 100%. I just don’t think this is true.
@@loverule9320it’s definitely an incremental thing, but its effects compound over time. Essentially, the maximum charge your phone’s battery can hold will drop. However, your phone will calibrate and display 100% at whatever “full” charge is.
For example: my iPhone 14 Pro has a 3200 mAh battery, but the battery health page in settings shows that its maximum capacity is at 86%. That means that when my phone shows 100% battery, it is actually at 100% of the reduced capacity, which is 3200 mAh * 86%, or 2752 mAh.
Every lithium ion battery degrades like this, but keeping it at a fully charged or fully depleted state for extended periods accelerates the process.
@@loverule9320my phone constantly won’t charge past 80%. It does sometimes but tbh the majority of times it’ll charge to 80% then act like that’s as far as it wants to go.
I have a 14 pro max I don't see the slider in fact I don't even see optimum battery charging , can you tell me why ?
Dont worry at all. Just USE your batteries. Moder batteries can handle “bEiNg cHaRGeD tO 100%”
The feature is only available for 15's and 16's.
7:24 .. Camera settings video… you have a great approach to explaining settings… would love to get an update on camera settings..
Thank you ❤ I couldn’t have figured it all out myself cause I didn’t even know they existed 😅
THE LEGEND IS BACK🎉🎉🎉
Some of the Tips are good. Others like the low data mode or iCloud backup are terrible. And the worst part; you're only going to realize that once you need to restore a Backup..
There's a reason that these options are set by default.
Elaborate more on both of these I was also hesitant on those two options
@@adriantorres7858 if your phone is lost/stolen or somehow crashes broken whatever and you taken photos you never backed up your items and are lost..
@@adriantorres7858 Well somehow my elaborate answer was deleted..
in Short:
Low data mode will stop your apps from updating for new information. Say your friend sends you a message on some app, well now you won't receive it until you open said app. Picture backups are also disabled.
iCloud backup backs up all your apps, settings, passwords, pictures etc. If you lose your phone or it dies, then its all gone.
I'm disappointed that there are no Pro's and Con's told in this video. Best practice is to not let someone else tell you what to set if you don't understand what it does. Chances are the other Person doesn't fully understand his tips either.
They're not terrible, it depends on user preference. I don't backup my photos and videos on iCloud so having that on would be useless to me. My backups are all synced to an external hard drive.
Please make a video like this but for MacOS Sequoia!
Thank you so much. I didn't realize how many features were killing the battery life.
Do Apple re-arrange the settings menu so you don't know how to turn things off?
I have ios 18, but i don't have the battery slider???
Yep same here.
