Thank you from a 79 yr. old woman recently upgraded from iPhone 7 to 12. Easy to follow (if a bit fast for me) and easy to watch due to your intellect and charisma. Quite enjoyable while learning something of value (rare these days on a screen).
If you wish to make it easier, as I do, just stop, look at the screen they are on, then start the Video again. If you don't quite get it just back the Video up a bit and start that segment again, until you catch up! That is what I must do anyway!
I always use white point, and it’s by far one of the most useful things ever! I have an iPhone 11, and even with white point up to 100%, I can still see and use the screen fine, even it broad daylight. It’s helped me save a lot of battery!
Using the white point to 100%, and putting the brightness on max, still reducing battery or I can use the max light with white point and economizing energy?
@@franciscoavalos9948 My iPhone 13 brand new, at the end of the day I have only 20 % with 5 hours screen on. I have done all the tips,no backround apps etch but still have problem. What's going on? Is like iphone 11 I used to have.
cannot believe the night and day difference these tips and advice have made to battery life, it is shocking. I got through the day with 38% Started the day at 9:30 am with 75% its 23:15 and I have 37% left. Major win!
You guys are great. Yes, the brunette talks a little too fast at times but the blonde slows him down when needed. Great teamwork! I do appreciate your videos!!
Apple should have a auto restart feature. Like Samsung does. You can schedule Samsung devices to restart automatically at any time of the day, even seven day a week.
Love it. Are you able to talk more about Siri & Search. There’s a lot there you can turn on or off to improve battery life as well as improve user experience.
I came from Android 6 mo ago & since Android has a bazillion tweaks, the 1st thing I did was go thru every iOS setting. Most Apple people never bother going thru setting, they have no idea how much more functional their phone can be. Thanks, guys!
Awesome! The dark mode seemed to really help. Just figured out light mode actually drains your battery, and personally i love using dark mode too. Thanks for the tips.
Reduce white point: this one really spoiled the experience for me. I could not live with the new darker less contrasting images. I’m 66. My eyesight is ok, but I’m not as young as you guys. All the rest I stayed with. I don’t really have a battery problem with my iPhone XR, but I still took on board all your tips, they made sense. This one, definitely decreased the phone experience. I went back a week later and put the setting back to OFF. You might bear that in mind for future videos. Thanks, great work, I subscribed.
I have to go back to this. This tips are amazing! You will see significant changes on the daily battery span after yiu follow this. I also made sure to do some tricks on charging my iphone as I am a heavy gamer. My iphone 11 is running on the latest ios 15 and had 82% battery health back then but after I did this and be mindful of the way i charged, the batter health now is on 86% in just a span of 3 weeks
Another great advice is to switch off GPS in the weather App and just choose the city where you are. As long as you are not travelling all day long, it is unnecessary for the phone to check your location dozens of times a day if you are not leaving the town or city anyway.

yeah, you're correct, I lost 5% battery health on my new iphone in 2-3 months because I kept closing all my apps, it stopped when i let them stay open in the background, they don't keep running, they freeze, or atleast that's what I heard.

This video was helpful! I do have one concern regarding updating my iPhone. I currently own the 11 and I’ve been hearing that updating it can also cause massive battery drainage and my maximum capacity has already went from 100% from 92% within a span of 5 months since buying the phone. After doing everything from the video, would updating the iOS also cause my battery’s maximum capacity to drain even more? Just out of curiosity.
Great tips again guys, but I agree a little too fast to update on this end as you were explaining where items were, I know just hit pause. For all the haters who give these guys a thumbs down....why? they are helping you in making the performance of your iPhone better. For all that have subscribed and haven't become members yet, why not the perks are awesome!
I agree - maybe slowing down the presentation of the tips would make it easier to follow along without having to rewind for each tip. I don't get the haters either - always find these videos helpful!
I set playback speed to .75. It makes them sound stoned, which is kind of fun, and I’m able to follow better. I still have to pause some since I’m somewhat disoriented on my new phone & many IOS versions ahead of what i was using. The information here has been invaluable & I save them all for reference. 🥰
I appreciate expanding the screen you are explaining. Makes it easy to keep and SEE what to look for…And By the way the blond guy is kinda goofy looking😂😂😂 great job. 👍🏻🤠🇺🇸
In background app refresh, you don’t have to have any on. The messaging apps will still get messages just fine. And you can disable parallax effect just by going to set a new wallpaper and the small button on the bottom
Yep. You don't need Background App Refresh for your messenger apps. I have it turned off for all apps and I still get push messages from all my messenger apps.
I don‘t know which change did it or if it was the sum of everything I changed while watching your video, but my iPhone has suddenly become MUCH FASTER!!! Thank you :-)
You guys are amazing!! I've been an Apple computer fan for a couple decades, but got my first iPhone just 3 days ago. It's been a nightmare! But, with 2 trips back to the phone store, and a phone call to Apple Help, I finally began to feel I might be able to deal with this thing - and now ya'll come along and give me practical advice. Now there is a chance that I just might be able to beat this and not return it to the store. I have subscribed and will continue to watch your videos. Thank you so much, and please PLEASE keep up your good work!
This was actually VERY helpful. I followed most of the recommendations, and I gotta tell ya - they worked! My iPhone battery is draining A LOT less now. THANK YOU! Mad props!
Thank you, guys! The speed of demonstration & explanations make the whole thing so much easier to follow. You're very helpful! Avoid extreme cold/heat (winter/summer in a car!)
Was only getting 5 and a half hours or so of screen on time so I looked up battery tips for my iPhone 13 mini. After using it a day or two I’ll report back if it made a noticeable difference. Most of these battery drain settings I had on. Thanks for the tips.
I love these guys , since I updated to 15.4 and watched this video and done everything they said my phone is running like the best it has ever run, I will keep following these guys so helpful and informative on settings for batter and I have noticed my processing speed is best it's ever been.
If you turn off location for all those system services it will effect things like night shift and automatic dark mode. I listened to you on that and it took some doing to figure out what happened.
Honestly, I have an iPhone 11 now that I’ve had since Christmas. My old iPhone 6s Plus that I’ve had since 2017 have had somewhat a dead battery, but it’d last about a little more than half a day. My iPhone 11 barely can hang on for like 2 to 3 hours, so I feel like I’d need my old phone back. I haven’t played it on charge in any type of way, because I feel like this would happen. My battery drainer pretty fast and I’ve updated it a lot, and it’s at 93 for some reason. Since I watched this vid and did mostly everything in it, my battery has hung on even longer now. Tysm ^^
Battery optimization don’t work if people follow some of the advice given on settings to turn off to save battery life videos. System customization and significant locations needs to stay on.
Instead of using that Don’t charge your phone overnight Because it stays at 100 percent longer which heats up your battery This will degrade your battery over time
@@tahmidabdin4625 that’s just not true. The point of it is to let your battery rest overnight and minimize the time it spends at 100%. Phones nowadays are smart and don’t actually run current through the battery once it reaches 100%. Simply touch your phone while it’s charging at 100% and you will see it doesn’t get hot whatsoever.
I mean... I just came here to learn how to conserve my new iphone 13's battery life. Not a tech fan, follower or anything. But you guys are so cute, followed ! Thank you for the video :)
By the way, swipe to close apps will actualyl kill your battery life. Having you apps open uses less RAM when you want to repoen them. While closing them every time you're done with the app and reopening it after 5 mins, it uses more RAM which means more battery power. Apple even recommends not closing/killing apps.
@@RiusII401 it’s simple trade off between killing not so frequent apps and keeping frequent apps on. For me I barely use maps in my city so no need to keep it on, will be using locations even if not needed. But something like social media apps should be kept on, as I will be checking those in few hours.
@@sajalpandey9364 Makes sense. But there is a setting in Apple where you can turn on locations only while using the app. Also, switching off "Background App Refresh" will improve a lot of battery
Amazing results on 12 mini. Thanks for these tips. An additional tip is to create a shortcut on home screen to turn on/off location services. I keep it off all the time, and it's a simple press of a button to turn it on when going out.
Reduce White point is a great battery saver. I would add to that by checking it in the Accessibility Shortcut and adding Accessibility Shortcut to Control Center. Nothing worse than having low white point then walking outside on a sunny day.
Even with blondie. I subscribed and watched and paused a bunch of times and changed my settings. We’ll worth my time. Great job. I’ll fix up my wife’s phone too. Thanks guys.
it’s fine now after i let it drain entirely. now that you i’ve found, i don’t get upset about it. once, my screen went black, and someone else blaming herself, instantly took it to Apple store, whereupon they immediately said, ‘dead battery’ no testing, just sold her a new one. 🤦🏻♀️ so, even though i was upset (because i can’t get around right now->my spine is not so good), i am more relaxed. thank you❤️
Thank you very much, I did this now for my iPhone XS, I got last year new battery and I will get a new one just because it is still in the under warranty. Just because Apple didn`t make this settings (like you) when the phone was new. I have now battery 87%. I will save this video and I`ll update this way every my iPhone. The battery is the life for the perfect beautiful phones!=)
You guys are awesome but forgot to mention that some of these services effect optimised battery charging I know it’s stupid but I mean it’s apple ot probably takes them ages to change it . Here are the settings you need to have active: 1.Settings > Privacy > Location Services > Location Services. 2.Settings > Privacy > Location Services > System Services > System Customisation. 3.Settings > Privacy > Location Services > System Services > Significant Locations > Significant Locations.
That actually really helped, I got a new iPhone and the battery was about the same as the old one until I did most of these. Now the battery life is impressive!
I'm subscribing guys. Just spent half a day trying to get my 7 to take a charge. Finally did, and no idea why, but it finally took a reset. Ya'll seem like good guys and wanted to extend my support for whatever that is worth lol
Hi, love your channel, BUT please slow down a little as you give lots of great info but have to be constantly stopping and rewinding to hear all your tips. Keep up all the great info!
I’d like to see what setting has how much of an impact. I don’t like to give up every convenience for let’s say a minute more battery. Would be nice to have one before and after benchmark :)

Hey guys! Thank you so much for your help! Your videos are the ONLY “iPhone tip” videos that I watch. I trust your advice and will continue to follow you wherever you go! 😊 I had watched a previous video about increasing battery life that you covered (probably a year or so ago) and almost everything you guys talked about today I already had in place! So I was doing most the “good things” already! I felt so smart! (No one has to know I copied each one of your tips word for word, right? 😂) My battery dies mainly because I am just like a teenager, my phone is growing roots into my hands! 🤦🏼♀️ Keep up the great work! Love you guys…Thanks again!
Thanks, great video. My doubts are with tip #3, where you guys advise to close opened apps to save up battery. If you do that, then whenever you have to open those apps, the iPhone will have to reload them from scratch instead of opening in the state you left it (since as Apple says, it's on "standby mode"), draining more battery in the process. About BG opened apps, Apple states "After you switch to a different app, some apps run for a short period of time before they're set to a suspended state. Apps that are in a suspended state aren’t actively in use, open, or taking up system resources." meaning these apps won't be actually running in the Background and therefor draining the phone's battery. But am I wrong? And why?
Hi Mata, I’ve heard of this too. That it takes more energy for the iPhone to open the apps again than if you just left it and come back to where it was left at. However, if we won’t come back to the apps anymore, we can close them up, no problem. Let me know if I’m not right. Thanks 🙏
It works for some apps, on the other hand some apps are heavier and use more from your phone while running in the background, and unless you use that app often or can't spend the 2-5 sec load up times then sure, keep it on
I don't know why... but I had the overwhelming urge to subscribe... I can't think where that came from... It's not like someone kept low key begging or anything. I do like your videos though, so a new subscriber!
Wanted to say thank you for sharing these videos to help with my battery usage and settings they have helped out awesomely. Once question, one I update my phone while I have to go back in a reset some of the setting that are always on from factory or will they still be set to off. Thanks again guys
3:20 The WIFI Calling Location is on because when you use WIFI Calling on iPhone it keeps your e911 information stored when you set up WIFI Calling. Turning this off will make it near to impossible for 911 services to track your location in an immediate emergency that you can’t speak and the phone and they are trying to locate you.
Some other big battery savers for me for the iPhone 6s and SE (1st generation) were setting the email Preview to None (Settings > Mail > Preview > None). Before I changed this every time I went to check my emails my 6s and SE phones would get super hot and after checking a couple emails the battery would drop 10% to 20% ! After changing this setting the problem was gone. The next setting change that help me on these older phones was limiting the number of podcasts to download to 1 or none (Library > Long Press Show > Settings > Automatically Download > Off). With only 32GB the storage would fill up and the podcast app would continue to try and download episodes even though there was not enough space. The symptom of this was that the phone would randomly get hot while using the phone for no apparent reason. After changing this setting that problem was also gone.
Hello Payette Forward - a lot of convo online about significant locations being tied to “ optimize battery” setting and that optimize will not work if Significant locations is off even though the optimize toggle stays green….. any thoughts on this?
All great tips. I would have automated 'airplane mode' with the Shortcuts app between times you know you won't be using your phone. This might be too much, in the event of missing an emergency call during those times.
My alternative to this is to schedule "Downtime" on the hours you won't be using your phone. You still get emergency calls and calls from your close contacts, and it will stop the startup of apps that you don't need, saving battery life.
As a former insider, I can tell you with 100% certainty that Apple has multiple teams dedicated to planned obsolescence. Battery drain, start up times, other bugs are purposely baked into each new iOS. It’s done more gradually now as a drip feed but you can still easily spot the bigger bug drops (14.7). Planned obsolescence is usually carefully weighed against perceived reliability and brand loyalty. But Apple learned long ago that those scales weren’t in any real danger of tipping. I know from internal conversations (2014-2016) and project goal outlines, that even the fixes you’re talking about are baked in as a perceived control.
@@John-gx haha I had nothing to do with those kinds of decisions. I worked on a couple UX projects before leaving. But no, Jobs is most assuredly dead. I and no one I worked with was working for Apple during his last years but from what I understand he was very clearly dying.
I've long been wanting to ask this question about the "Optimized Battery Charging" setting... OK, the description below the button says this works because "iPhone learns from your daily charging routine," but, what happens if your 'schedule' is very erratic, so you really don't have much of a "daily routine"? Will it still manage to improve battery efficiency? Or could it somehow end up being worse?
That's actually my concerns too. Hence why I have it turned off. My charging schedule is all over the place and I don't charge the phone overnight. Plus, I think the "iPhone will learn" part actually consumes your battery because it's trying to analyze your usage of the phone.
All this does is, if you charge your phone regulary overnight: charge it to 80% initially and only to 100% 2 hours or so before u usually wake up. This will preserve battery health/capacity over time (a battery sitting at 100% doing nothing is bad for it's health). It WILL display a message on the lock screen when this in effect, something like "Optimized battery charging enabled, charging will finish at latest at 5:00 AM", with a button to continue charge up to 100% anyway. If u have it enabled and NEVER charge it overnight it does not harm nor benefit it. My bed times differ from 10 PM to 2-3 AM (and wake up 6-9AM), and it still uses it regulary, so it's quite smart. The charging pattern is logged anyway, it's part of iPhone's internal log system (some of the files you can find under Privacy, Analytics, Analytics data), it does not consume anything. It would be used by Apple technicians if something is wrong with your battery/charging. Bottomline: It's not some witchcraft that will optimize your battery efficiency during normal charging. If you can manage to charge it "manually" with a slow charger (0,5-1,5A, so
Excellent explanation from both of you guys especially pin pointing the use of the services in apps, example: when you guys talk about bank app, before disabling the location service you gave a guniune reason as why we need to have location enabled for it as we know the bank where it is exactly. Like this some more points you have mentioned before a service enabled or disabled. Very good explanation, on the features.
Presentation is great but missing part is more explanation of side effects, like parallax effect - screen object animation/shifting with device movement so icons look like floating over background. So in this case the effect of enabling setting is purely cosmetic, while other setting might impact connection recovery performance…
Hi, I just got the 12 mini for a stellar deal here in India. Just curious to know, does turning on Low battery mode all the time is good for the battery?
Im from 🇮🇳 too and ihave got my iphone 7 from nov 2020 and till october 2021 battery health is decreased by 12% in 11 months by continusly using low power mode with optimise battery charging off
I disabled my 5G and went exclusively LTE and I'm guessing I got double the battery life. Not sure exactly. It's hard to measure but the difference is quite dramatic. I can only get 5G when I go into town and didn't notice any difference in performance between the two. My Mini 12 is only for yakity yak and occasional texting. Rarely do I use emergency internet.

Age is not a factor. It speaks volumes that you were on TH-cam here doing research like this. Onward! 😎
@@RobertGaron thanks!
This video was helpful! I do have one concern regarding updating my iPhone. I currently own the 11 and I’ve been hearing that updating it can also cause massive battery drainage and my maximum capacity has already went from 100% from 92% within a span of 5 months since buying the phone.
After doing everything from the video, would updating the iOS also cause my battery’s maximum capacity to drain even more? Just out of curiosity.
Great tips again guys, but I agree a little too fast to update on this end as you were explaining where items were, I know just hit pause. For all the haters who give these guys a thumbs down....why? they are helping you in making the performance of your iPhone better. For all that have subscribed and haven't become members yet, why not the perks are awesome!
I agree - maybe slowing down the presentation of the tips would make it easier to follow along without having to rewind for each tip. I don't get the haters either - always find these videos helpful!
I agree there great guys. They really no what there talking about. They have helped me since my switch back to iPhone the end of last year
I set playback speed to .75. It makes them sound stoned, which is kind of fun, and I’m able to follow better. I still have to pause some since I’m somewhat disoriented on my new phone & many IOS versions ahead of what i was using. The information here has been invaluable & I save them all for reference. 🥰
Glad to have you as a member, Jim! Thanks for your support.
@@PayetteForward they say Optimized Battery Charging stops charging at 80% but I have Optimized Battery Charging on and my iPhone 7 charges over 80%
I appreciate expanding the screen you are explaining. Makes it easy to keep and SEE what to look for…And By the way the blond guy is kinda goofy looking😂😂😂 great job. 👍🏻🤠🇺🇸
In background app refresh, you don’t have to have any on. The messaging apps will still get messages just fine. And you can disable parallax effect just by going to set a new wallpaper and the small button on the bottom
Thanks! I was going to leave those on to get push notifications. I am glad to learn that I don't have to.
Yep. You don't need Background App Refresh for your messenger apps. I have it turned off for all apps and I still get push messages from all my messenger apps.
I don‘t know which change did it or if it was the sum of everything I changed while watching your video, but my iPhone has suddenly become MUCH FASTER!!! Thank you :-)
You guys are amazing!! I've been an Apple computer fan for a couple decades, but got my first iPhone just 3 days ago. It's been a nightmare! But, with 2 trips back to the phone store, and a phone call to Apple Help, I finally began to feel I might be able to deal with this thing - and now ya'll come along and give me practical advice. Now there is a chance that I just might be able to beat this and not return it to the store. I have subscribed and will continue to watch your videos. Thank you so much, and please PLEASE keep up your good work!

This was actually VERY helpful. I followed most of the recommendations, and I gotta tell ya - they worked! My iPhone battery is draining A LOT less now.
THANK YOU! Mad props!
Y'all make me develop so much interest in iphones having been using android my entire life
I ordered the 1tb pro max to upgrade from my note 9
iPhone is awesome
I found this video because of a battery drain problem. I'm sure what you covered is going to help tons. Thank you!
Thank you, guys! The speed of demonstration & explanations make the whole thing so much easier to follow. You're very helpful! Avoid extreme cold/heat (winter/summer in a car!)
Was only getting 5 and a half hours or so of screen on time so I looked up battery tips for my iPhone 13 mini. After using it a day or two I’ll report back if it made a noticeable difference. Most of these battery drain settings I had on. Thanks for the tips.
How is it going?
@@nothing.6342 still gets around 5 and a half to 6 hours of screen on time
Hi David and David!
New Apple iPhone 14 Pro going through almost the entire battery every day without my doing anything! I just watched your video (sooooo very helpful).
That sweater looks great! I’m loving the new iPhone update. Thanks
I love these guys , since I updated to 15.4 and watched this video and done everything they said my phone is running like the best it has ever run, I will keep following these guys so helpful and informative on settings for batter and I have noticed my processing speed is best it's ever been.
If you turn off location for all those system services it will effect things like night shift and automatic dark mode. I listened to you on that and it took some doing to figure out what happened.
Yes! Also affected some of my Apple Watch settings
i just discovered your channel and went from an I phone 6 to a 13. Thank you very much for all your help! Subscribed!
wow these are one of the most efficiently impacting tips/tutorial i’ve followed!
battery life is much more lasting throughout the day. 🙌
Honestly, I have an iPhone 11 now that I’ve had since Christmas. My old iPhone 6s Plus that I’ve had since 2017 have had somewhat a dead battery, but it’d last about a little more than half a day. My iPhone 11 barely can hang on for like 2 to 3 hours, so I feel like I’d need my old phone back. I haven’t played it on charge in any type of way, because I feel like this would happen. My battery drainer pretty fast and I’ve updated it a lot, and it’s at 93 for some reason. Since I watched this vid and did mostly everything in it, my battery has hung on even longer now. Tysm ^^
Battery optimization don’t work if people follow some of the advice given on settings to turn off to save battery life videos. System customization and significant locations needs to stay on.
Instead of using that
Don’t charge your phone overnight Because it stays at 100 percent longer which heats up your battery
This will degrade your battery over time
@@tahmidabdin4625 that’s just not true. The point of it is to let your battery rest overnight and minimize the time it spends at 100%. Phones nowadays are smart and don’t actually run current through the battery once it reaches 100%. Simply touch your phone while it’s charging at 100% and you will see it doesn’t get hot whatsoever.
I mean... I just came here to learn how to conserve my new iphone 13's battery life. Not a tech fan, follower or anything. But you guys are so cute, followed ! Thank you for the video :)
By the way, swipe to close apps will actualyl kill your battery life. Having you apps open uses less RAM when you want to repoen them. While closing them every time you're done with the app and reopening it after 5 mins, it uses more RAM which means more battery power. Apple even recommends not closing/killing apps.
Pretty interesting and seems quite logical.
then just close the apps you know you won’t be using for the rest of the day i guess
@@catraaaaaa You could do that. But even then, it wouldn't have a significant drain on your battery. You wouldn't notice it
@@RiusII401 it’s simple trade off between killing not so frequent apps and keeping frequent apps on. For me I barely use maps in my city so no need to keep it on, will be using locations even if not needed. But something like social media apps should be kept on, as I will be checking those in few hours.
@@sajalpandey9364 Makes sense. But there is a setting in Apple where you can turn on locations only while using the app. Also, switching off "Background App Refresh" will improve a lot of battery
Amazing results on 12 mini. Thanks for these tips. An additional tip is to create a shortcut on home screen to turn on/off location services. I keep it off all the time, and it's a simple press of a button to turn it on when going out.
Reduce White point is a great battery saver. I would add to that by checking it in the Accessibility Shortcut and adding Accessibility Shortcut to Control Center. Nothing worse than having low white point then walking outside on a sunny day.
Thanks chris.
Thank you Chris
Great tip thanks
So is it bad if I turn it 100%
Even with blondie. I subscribed and watched and paused a bunch of times and changed my settings. We’ll worth my time. Great job. I’ll fix up my wife’s phone too. Thanks guys.
I can’t get to battery health anymore, it showed me my usage.
it’s fine now after i let it drain entirely. now that you i’ve found, i don’t get upset about it. once, my screen went black, and someone else blaming herself, instantly took it to Apple store, whereupon they immediately said, ‘dead battery’ no testing, just sold her a new one. 🤦🏻♀️ so, even though i was upset (because i can’t get around right now->my spine is not so good), i am more relaxed. thank you❤️
Thanks for all the tips!! Are people actually still using Facebook? I think getting rid of it is the #1 way to protect privacy and freedom.
Got my first iPhone yesterday. Great so far. Hope that now battery lasts longer
You guys are the best iPhone advisors on the planet 😂 as always really 👍

Thank you very much, I did this now for my iPhone XS, I got last year new battery and I will get a new one just because it is still in the under warranty. Just because Apple didn`t make this settings (like you) when the phone was new. I have now battery 87%. I will save this video and I`ll update this way every my iPhone. The battery is the life for the perfect beautiful phones!=)
You guys are awesome but forgot to mention that some of these services effect optimised battery charging I know it’s stupid but I mean it’s apple ot probably takes them ages to change it .
Here are the settings you need to have active:
1.Settings > Privacy > Location Services > Location Services.
2.Settings > Privacy > Location Services > System Services > System Customisation.
3.Settings > Privacy > Location Services > System Services > Significant Locations > Significant Locations.
I’m a new iPhone user and the tips are great thanks Samsung battery is still way better
That actually really helped, I got a new iPhone and the battery was about the same as the old one until I did most of these. Now the battery life is impressive!
I'm subscribing guys. Just spent half a day trying to get my 7 to take a charge. Finally did, and no idea why, but it finally took a reset. Ya'll seem like good guys and wanted to extend my support for whatever that is worth lol
Thanks for the tips guys, I really appreciate it 👍🏽
Finally a none boring and more understanding tips
Hi, love your channel, BUT please slow down a little as you give lots of great info but have to be constantly stopping and rewinding to hear all your tips. Keep up all the great info!
I just set the You tube to .75 speed to slow them down. They just sound like their drunk a little and slower
Thanks, now my iphone is working good as new
Yay!
I’d like to see what setting has how much of an impact. I don’t like to give up every convenience for let’s say a minute more battery. Would be nice to have one before and after benchmark :)
Bro we have the same name

Hey guys! Thank you so much for your help! Your videos are the ONLY “iPhone tip” videos that I watch. I trust your advice and will continue to follow you wherever you go! 😊
I had watched a previous video about increasing battery life that you covered (probably a year or so ago) and almost everything you guys talked about today I already had in place! So I was doing most the “good things” already! I felt so smart! (No one has to know I copied each one of your tips word for word, right? 😂)
My battery dies mainly because I am just like a teenager, my phone is growing roots into my hands! 🤦🏼♀️
Keep up the great work! Love you guys…Thanks again!
Thanks, great video. My doubts are with tip #3, where you guys advise to close opened apps to save up battery. If you do that, then whenever you have to open those apps, the iPhone will have to reload them from scratch instead of opening in the state you left it (since as Apple says, it's on "standby mode"), draining more battery in the process. About BG opened apps, Apple states "After you switch to a different app, some apps run for a short period of time before they're set to a suspended state. Apps that are in a suspended state aren’t actively in use, open, or taking up system resources." meaning these apps won't be actually running in the Background and therefor draining the phone's battery.
But am I wrong? And why?
Hi Mata, I’ve heard of this too. That it takes more energy for the iPhone to open the apps again than if you just left it and come back to where it was left at. However, if we won’t come back to the apps anymore, we can close them up, no problem. Let me know if I’m not right. Thanks 🙏
Nope that’s true. I only close apps at the end of the day before I sleep
It works for some apps, on the other hand some apps are heavier and use more from your phone while running in the background, and unless you use that app often or can't spend the 2-5 sec load up times then sure, keep it on
I don’t think they meant to actually close the app, just swipe it off your screen rather than have a whole bunch of apps piled up in the background.
The best battery life tips for iphone..perfect!
Love love love your channel. I’ve learnt so much. Thank you. You two are great. Blonde David makes me lol so much 😂👍🏻
I agree blond David is funny
I don't know why... but I had the overwhelming urge to subscribe... I can't think where that came from... It's not like someone kept low key begging or anything. I do like your videos though, so a new subscriber!
closing out of apps = having to reload it when you want to open it again = more battery drain
Having apps open = having background app refresh on = even more battery drain
@@tomaatooohave it off
@@dbltrunks4083 ik
Having lots of apps open = app needing to restart anyway
Ram uses battery. Most people aren’t constantly opening apps if you need to use an app 10 times per hour then keep it open I guess🤷♂️
I never suffer of battery anxiety until I got a IPhone 😂😂
Wanted to say thank you for sharing these videos to help with my battery usage and settings they have helped out awesomely. Once question, one I update my phone while I have to go back in a reset some of the setting that are always on from factory or will they still be set to off. Thanks again guys
Great times! Trying them out now! My iPhone 11 is all of the sudden dying by 9 am out of no where. Hopefully this will help!
Doesn't optimized battery charging only work when significant locations is enabled?
I think yes. But dont know how many days to take OBC turn on.
@@f9fad I think about 2 weeks
That is correct. It says so in Apple's support document
3:20 The WIFI Calling Location is on because when you use WIFI Calling on iPhone it keeps your e911 information stored when you set up WIFI Calling. Turning this off will make it near to impossible for 911 services to track your location in an immediate emergency that you can’t speak and the phone and they are trying to locate you.
I can not thank u enough for all your tips!! I get to fix my phone and laugh at the same time 😂😂♥️♥️ Which is extremely hard to do♥️♥️
This significantly saved my really bad iPhone 6 battery!
Some other big battery savers for me for the iPhone 6s and SE (1st generation) were setting the email Preview to None (Settings > Mail > Preview > None). Before I changed this every time I went to check my emails my 6s and SE phones would get super hot and after checking a couple emails the battery would drop 10% to 20% ! After changing this setting the problem was gone. The next setting change that help me on these older phones was limiting the number of podcasts to download to 1 or none (Library > Long Press Show > Settings > Automatically Download > Off). With only 32GB the storage would fill up and the podcast app would continue to try and download episodes even though there was not enough space. The symptom of this was that the phone would randomly get hot while using the phone for no apparent reason. After changing this setting that problem was also gone.
Omg, “Why is the Blonde Guy so 🔥”😂😂😂 Just stumble upon you guys. 😎😎👍🏻
Hello Payette Forward - a lot of convo online about significant locations being tied to “ optimize battery” setting and that optimize will not work if Significant locations is off even though the optimize toggle stays green….. any thoughts on this?
I’m a senior with an I phone your videos have helped a lot Thanks guys
I thought the last option would “Turn off your phone and keep it as it is”
Thanks for the video! 🙂
All great tips. I would have automated 'airplane mode' with the Shortcuts app between times you know you won't be using your phone. This might be too much, in the event of missing an emergency call during those times.
My alternative to this is to schedule "Downtime" on the hours you won't be using your phone. You still get emergency calls and calls from your close contacts, and it will stop the startup of apps that you don't need, saving battery life.
I think the last two tips made a lot of sense to me.
As a former insider, I can tell you with 100% certainty that Apple has multiple teams dedicated to planned obsolescence. Battery drain, start up times, other bugs are purposely baked into each new iOS. It’s done more gradually now as a drip feed but you can still easily spot the bigger bug drops (14.7). Planned obsolescence is usually carefully weighed against perceived reliability and brand loyalty. But Apple learned long ago that those scales weren’t in any real danger of tipping. I know from internal conversations (2014-2016) and project goal outlines, that even the fixes you’re talking about are baked in as a perceived control.
So basically you're telling what they were doing is useless?
“Former insider” 🤨 tell us more! Will Apple ever make colored AirPods? Did Steve Jobs fake his death and is he still secretly running Apple? 😯
@@ruthlessrays9761 not useless, you still have to make the appropriate changes so that your device operates more efficiently.
@@John-gx haha I had nothing to do with those kinds of decisions. I worked on a couple UX projects before leaving. But no, Jobs is most assuredly dead. I and no one I worked with was working for Apple during his last years but from what I understand he was very clearly dying.
@@benjaminwyatt3778 …right Benjamin. Right…
Thanks it’s actually worked on my iPhone SE ❤❤❤
I've long been wanting to ask this question about the "Optimized Battery Charging" setting... OK, the description below the button says this works because "iPhone learns from your daily charging routine," but, what happens if your 'schedule' is very erratic, so you really don't have much of a "daily routine"? Will it still manage to improve battery efficiency? Or could it somehow end up being worse?
That's actually my concerns too. Hence why I have it turned off. My charging schedule is all over the place and I don't charge the phone overnight. Plus, I think the "iPhone will learn" part actually consumes your battery because it's trying to analyze your usage of the phone.
True thought about it too
All this does is, if you charge your phone regulary overnight: charge it to 80% initially and only to 100% 2 hours or so before u usually wake up. This will preserve battery health/capacity over time (a battery sitting at 100% doing nothing is bad for it's health). It WILL display a message on the lock screen when this in effect, something like "Optimized battery charging enabled, charging will finish at latest at 5:00 AM", with a button to continue charge up to 100% anyway. If u have it enabled and NEVER charge it overnight it does not harm nor benefit it. My bed times differ from 10 PM to 2-3 AM (and wake up 6-9AM), and it still uses it regulary, so it's quite smart. The charging pattern is logged anyway, it's part of iPhone's internal log system (some of the files you can find under Privacy, Analytics, Analytics data), it does not consume anything. It would be used by Apple technicians if something is wrong with your battery/charging.
Bottomline: It's not some witchcraft that will optimize your battery efficiency during normal charging. If you can manage to charge it "manually" with a slow charger (0,5-1,5A, so
Thanks bro it saved my iPhone 6s battery for 1hr more
Excellent explanation from both of you guys especially pin pointing the use of the services in apps, example: when you guys talk about bank app, before disabling the location service you gave a guniune reason as why we need to have location enabled for it as we know the bank where it is exactly. Like this some more points you have mentioned before a service enabled or disabled. Very good explanation, on the features.
I did all these tips minus maybe one and I noticed a difference off rip. Thanks for this
Presentation is great but missing part is more explanation of side effects, like parallax effect - screen object animation/shifting with device movement so icons look like floating over background. So in this case the effect of enabling setting is purely cosmetic, while other setting might impact connection recovery performance…
Did all these steps… wow what a difference!
Hi, I just got the 12 mini for a stellar deal here in India. Just curious to know, does turning on Low battery mode all the time is good for the battery?

@@vinay9053 what’s funny on my comment?
I disabled my 5G and went exclusively LTE and I'm guessing I got double the battery life. Not sure exactly. It's hard to measure but the difference is quite dramatic. I can only get 5G when I go into town and didn't notice any difference in performance between the two. My Mini 12 is only for yakity yak and occasional texting. Rarely do I use emergency internet.
