Turning off Screen Time is what I’m testing after I replaced the battery. Screen time monitors every second the activity done on any app leading to more energy drained. I heard that it consumes over 10% more battery by having it turned on.
It would be cool to see a "real life" practical test of two iPhones with these battery saving things turned on and off, to see what the differences are.
for the app closing part, I've always closed apps before and started not doing it not so long ago, and I can tell that my battery life drastically went down, but I did start doing it around installing iOS16, so I'm trying these battery tips and if this doesn't change much, I'm going to start closing all apps again
Two more things, go to settings > notifications, then set your notifications summary for apps that are not essential for you, it makes notifications less frequent for non essential apps. In the same place, turn off the lock screen notifications for all of the apps, so the screen won't light up whenever you got new notifications It saves a lot of power
What i did on my 14 pro max is make the lockscreen background totally black, that way the always on display is black too and drains way less battery. Sure, the Lock Screen is a bit boring but i almost never look at it anyhow. When i grab my phone i go to my home screen asap anyways. This works very well for me
Use a pure black image for your Lock Screen for always on display, it’s an oled screen, so the black background being black will not light up just the icons and click, it’s simple.
Yes this is a really great tip! I can’t prove it actually helped with my battery drainage problem (on my older 2 iPhones - especially the original iPhone SE I had that was at 52% for its life left and needed to be connected to the charger to do anything - if it wasn’t charging it would instantly die as soon as I would open an app to do something, but actually stayed charged for quite a long time unplugged as long as I didn’t use it lol) anyways I found that when I changed my wallpaper to a plain solid black for both home and Lock Screen, that the battery seemed to last longer before the phone died haha
I’ve done everything multiple TH-cam channels have suggested to improve battery life since iOS 16 update. I’m still not getting the battery life I was getting before the update. I’m using about 15% to 20% more battery a day on iOS 16 compared to iOS 15. I hope apple fixes this soon. Oh and I noticed my phone is getting warmer when charging now also.
Updates are provided to reduce the battery so you are force to shift to new I phone, just not update your IPhone ever again, I am still using IOS 15 and having the same battery which is better than IOS 16, just dropped 3-5% at night time and all good, can easily use my Iphone for 2 days in a single charge.

@@Mars_doll exactly but the question is, has the apple stopped doing it, no they keep sending updates and people are following them and then finding videos to fix it, it's their business strategy and they not gonna stop doing it, I don't follow the tips provided by apple, only follow those which are tested by people in real life, Apple is manufacturing a product and they would do anything to sell it which is why they only keep latest 3 generation in the market to sell or buy in India, we can't buy new IPhone, only 12,13 and 14, rest are not there in the market, not even in apple store(3rd party store not a single apple store by Apple)
@@amansharma9755 even with the newest iPhone, 14 pro the battery life is worse than my 11 pro max. In general it’s sucks, I left android for this reason and now apple battery life is terrible too
On the last part with restarting your phone, I really wish that Apple would implement something you can do with Samsung phones where you can have your phone restart itself on a set schedule. Restarting it manually is easy enough, but it’d just be a neat feature to have.
Another good one. One you haven't talked about is if you are in Display & Brightness and you want to use Night Shift, you must go to to Privacy - Location Services - System Services - System Customization MUST be turned on or it doesn't work. Took me a long time to fix that one.

iOS 16 is an Upgrade= adding new features- Updates are what they say at the start of video 15.x updates to security and fixes. If you want abit of both maybe just wait a while before upgrading to 16- It’s not even the default anymore when selecting software updates- The iOS 16 Upgrade is at the bottom.
The only thing I don’t like is IOS 16 in general because I’m a iPhone 11 user and ever since I got the first IOS 16 update my battery health has being going down pretty quickly and if you’re a user still in IOS 15 I suggest just wait until apple could get IOS 16 fixed or normal
Hey Payette, I don't know if you'll read this, but the Clean Energy Charging feature essentially does what the description says, but more specifically, it works in tandem with Optimized Battery Charging to achieve it's function. Turning Clean Energy Charging off would also be a potentially big battery saver. I could be wrong but from what i've understood from my reading, this seems to be the case.
In my experience with iOS 16 with the iPhone 11 Pro it’s actually good. I get 6-8 hours of usage with music going on and watching TikTok most of the time so far for gaming I played for an hour and only went from 90-85 so it depends on ur capacity
Don’t forget that we are not working for our phones. Use your phone as your want and in the worst case you’ll have to charge it at 6 PM. Don’t get to anxiety
I’m not sure if it needed a couple of cycles or 16 0.1 helped, but my battery life on my 13 pro is impressive. 6:30 am last charged to 100, 10:36 pm, just hit 20%. And I am a heavy user.
@@jasonennis4905 it’s on and used a lot. I watch or listen to a lot of podcasts during the day, always checking email or social media, it’s being used for CarPlay, and whatever else. I don’t really play games on my phone but basically I use this thing way too much and battery has been holding up well.
Love these guys...great info....could you please give the settings instructions just a little slower....find myself having to pause and go back to find out here you went....keep the info coming please!!
Almost 2 yrs on 12 PM - still 100% battery life - almost 6 hrs screen usage daily. 2 things worked for me - 1. I am still on 14.1 - never update to higher os versions on an older phone. 2. Always always always charge only till 80%.. I do follow all of your tips as well.
I got a new iPhone 13 few weeks back. I gotta tell you with the brightness I put on my phones, I'm getting like 8 to 9 hours of screen time with just a single charge. It's like I'm trying to kill the battery. I just can't. Even after a full productive day, before going to bed I still have like 10 to 15 percent battery left. Kudos to Apple's Battery Optimization.
I’m still using my 12 pro but once I get my hands on an iPhone with AOD I’m not turning it off. Setting a dark background with focus mode will help with battery saving if you don’t want the fancy background always showing.
Awesome video. Should optimized battery charging be turned off then? Since the other required settings are turned off for it to work? Just wanted to be sure because it was left on during the video.
I would be curious of that too. Any news on that? I had left it on, although I turned the other 2 options off. I have to mention that I don't charge overnight and I am always charging my 13Pro during day time to around 85-90% from 30%. I'm not leaving the phone drain less than 30% and never go full 100%.
Great tips gentlemen. Here is. Tips to enjoy always on display feature create a custom focus mode, turn on smart activation which automatically dims your focus mode. Next click on allow notifications from and the apps you want to allow notifications from. Lastly turn font color to red and as this color drains less battery!
At 3:27, you recommend turning ON "Reduce Motion". What you don't acknowledge is that in that moment, a new setting appeared directly below that switch called "Prefer Cross-Fade Transitions". What about that one? from the description, it seems that turning that one on (blocking cross-fade transitions) would also reduce battery usage.
Basically, whenever you open a menu and it pops in from the right, this setting will also reduce the motion for that animation as well. It will save battery by default as well
I absolutely love your videos, I was very excited about the iPhone display staying on, but the battery drainage is real! I turned it off and saw a change in battery life the very next day when fully charged! I will continue to watch; keep up the great work!
The only apps that I would strongly recommend that you keep location services is any weather that that will alert you of severe weather - example a lightning app which would warn you a lightning in the area.
@@Joeprincee I will admit that I am a weather nerd (I work in emergency management). I have 7-8 different weather apps on my phone, each giving me a little different information. I would recommend have at least one general weather app and one that specifically designed for lightning. I suggest finding one that allows you to set a radius (mine allows 2 miles to 200 miles). This allows you to change the radius, depending upon any event that you have going on during the day. I tend to leave mine at about 20 miles out. When I get an alert, I can easily look and see where the lightning has been detected and then check the radar on my other weather app to see if the system is moving toward me or away from me this allows me to make informed decisions on what to do.
@@hustlawg you have to ensure that you have your phone set up to know your location at all times when it comes to the individual weather app that you have on your phone. Then it comes down to the settings on the individual weather app and how often you have it refreshing.
So I watched your video last week on things to turn off of your iPhone after the 16.3. Settings you need to turn off now ……. and since then my battery life drains like right in front of my eyes. So I’m watching this video today to see why my battery keeps draining.. wish I could go back and reset everything but I don’t know which switches I toggled during the last video URGHHH. !!! so I’m hoping that after moving settings today from this video, my battery will do a lot better. Also, you mention that if we subscribe to your channel, we could get a print out of the different settings to change and so on. I have yet to find this. Can you please direct me how to download a copy of it so I can see exactly what I’m doing and what I did? Thank you.
I had energy setting on, and it stops my charging anytime between 2p-4p and says it will finish charging by 9:15p. The last time it did this, I was using my device from 7p-9p and it didn’t reach 100% by the 9:15 time, but I got the “will charge after temp returns to normal. So I turned off that setting because I’ve never seen that happen before.
Just a quick tip that I use! For the reduce white point brightness, you can add an accessibility shortcut in you control center and set that shortcut to reduce white point now when you click your power button 3 time it will reduce with point brightness! Edit: useful when you use your phone at night often Edit 2: to do it go in accessibility and scroll down to accessibility shortcut -> choose reduce white point
I❤️the triple-click home button thing and that you can customize what you want in Accessibility Shortcuts - especially because I use Voice Control lots so I added it as well as others - including Reduce White Point - so I can easily turn it off if I need to have a bit more brightness (like when showing my parents something on the phone lol they need the brightness way up to see things clearly 😆) or when I want to turn it on so I know I’m saving battery drainage.
I always listen to your information. Great, I know my phone is working great! But, recently I got a message that my battery is in decline....I would like to know if I can swap out a battery from another phone that we are not using. The one I have is a 8, currently. I have my husbands, not in use, 5SE. Can I switch out the battery? Please answer if you can soon...I need advice. Thanks
You can dim your always on display. Go to settings then select one of your focus modes select options then select dim lock screen it will be dark like the pixel always on display lock screen saving battery
Thank you for this information. I bought my first ever iPhone 14 pro a few days back and I am facing battery issues after the new update. I hope this video helps my battery survive for longer! Thank you for your efforts and making this video.
I moved from Android to iPhone. There are things I hate about the iPhone. One thing I would love to see implemented is the ability to lock app icons to their position on the screen. Although I know this is a feature, it drives me nuts when I download a new app and it's icon forces other icons to move out of the positions that I put them in. When I move an app icon to a new location I don't want it to effect the other icons and cause them to move also. I want to lock them down. This constant "tetris" game with app icons is very frustrating.
Use a timer to see how long it takes for your phone to charge completely. Then drop your phone from the first floor and see how long it takes to charge completely. Then drop it from the second floor, and repeat the same process. You’ll most likely notice how Battery Life decreases the higher you drop it from. Hope it helps, you’re Welcome btw :)
I see several people comment on the fact that the Always On Display is just a dimmed version of your Home Screen wallpaper. However if you long press on your home screen to customize, you can set the background color to black, then set to SOLID. You can adjust this completely separate from your Home Screen so that you can keep the wallpaper you know and love but also have a solid black Lock Screen with nice white contrast.
i have a 14 pro and ive noticed zero effect on battery life with my AOD turned on vs off, I get a solid 8 hours of battery life before my phone drops below 10% every day.
Great work guys! But other than the System Customization toggle, what are the other 2 related to the Optimized Battery Charging? It seems to be missing out?
So what’s the verdict? Battery Optimization is left on or off and what about the carbon setting? And can I charge whenever I want band from whatever battery percentage?
Always On Display should have a pure black background option with minimal thin white text. Black pixels are off (And refreshing at 1hz) & white pixels are BARELY on (also refreshing at 1hz). It's far too bright and not leveraging the OLED tech.
Just letting you know that we don’t have the Clean Energy Charging option available in Japan, and also do not have the Carbon Analytics option as well. I am assuming that in countries that support it, Apple collects the grid data from power companies to see which grid area has green energy fed into it, and by using your location, they can tell that you are within that clean energy charging grid.
First of all why battery drain in 16.2 why should we compromise with the settings before 16.2 I was able to use almost 2 days now just one day with a full battery charge will apple ever fix this issue maybe in the next update? Please let us know.
Hi guys, what is your direct or not experience about the battery draining happening on devices after installing ios16? My 13 pro now lasts way less: in the afternoon I have to recharge it!
I enjoy your channel very much and find the tips useful! Just one little bit on this one I was slightly unclear on... I don't see you turning optimized battery charging off in the video... but you DO think we should have it off... Right?
Great video. You gave a few tips that were not in your other battery saving video. I did not no fast charging was bad for your battery and dark mode helps. You guys always give great tips. I only watch you guys about iPhones. You know what your talking about. Keep up the good work
Thank you both you simply my life (I hate the battery drainers specially, in the four older iPhones my daughter has …she’s blind & is obsessed with the older iPhone models)
I got rid of the geolocation wallpapers and real time lock screen widgets after 2 weeks. They were decimating my battery 🔋 life, and that’s on a freaking 13 Pro Max.
How is AOD really putting a hit on the battery? If phone is face down, it cuts off. If it’s in pocket, it cuts off. Do people just leave the phone sitting face up continuously? Even if you leave it face up overnight, you’re usually charging anyway. I honestly do not get this.
I have the 14 Pro MAX. The battery capacity is so large I always come home with 50%. I am out walking for most of the day and use streaming apps like SXM or Audacy. If you really want to stretch out the batter use these tips. I think they more important on the smaller 6.1 phone. I had the 13 with the smaller screen and was always fretting about running out of battery life. Browsing, using the camera, Google maps and streaming apps definitely use large quantities of battery life. If you are on vacation and take a lot photos you definitely need the larger phone or a battery pack.
@@YourMother6yrsago I would come home at the end of the day with about 20%. They have improved the streaming radio apps somewhat so they didn't chew up battery capacity. I have PressReader on my iPad also my iPhone. You can read actual newspapers just like they were delivered. When I got my iPad Mini. The app was literally shredding the battery. I thought I got a defective iPad. They ran a battery stress test on the Mini saying it was fine. I would get maybe 4 hours of reading time before I had to recharge iPad. PressReader finally resolved the problem. My iPad was fine. The app was just a battery drainer. Now I get 10 hours or more on the Mini. Though Apple reviews apps there are still many out there that really drain the battery. The larger 6.7 inch phone can withstand almost any heavy usage.
Thanks for the video, gents! At 00:04 you mention the battery life. I've got an iPhone 11, and I've heard that updates "work" the battery. Its like every time you download and update you are slowly "killing" your battery because it makes the phone work more. Is that true? I jsut got my phone and haven't downloaded IOS 16 for that reason. Thanks!
Question: (love you guys, by the way!) I have an Iphone 8+. Should I use the new charging brick or the old one, or does it matter for 8+ ?? Also, my battery health is at 81%. Should I get a new battery? (NOT giving up my 8+) ;)♥
16 has been terrible on my 14! Has taken my battery life down by 7%, sometimes a percent per day and phone, even on low battery mode won’t last the business day. Installed 16.6 last night. So far, still above 30%. 🤞
True Tone doesn’t affect battery life Your screen brightness uses more power than any other setting that they have mentioned To get better battery Use auto brightness but mess with your battery slider Lower the brightness is the better your will last longer
I would like to make one amendment for all runners who use their phone as a safety light while running early morning or late night. Using auto shut off WILL turn off your screen after 5 minutes ( or however long you set it for ) and you will have to reopen your phone to get the light back on.
Hey Guys, thanks for your great videos!! I just downloaded iOS 16.3 and checking the settings you are recommending but don't see a Battery Health & Charging option? Do I need to change a setting elsewhere? Thanks in advance!
So pissed today. Bought my iPhone 14 pro 2 weeks after its official release. Currently in iOS 16.1. With good charging habits, did not even use it for longer periods. Now it’s already 98%, after I’ve noticed it was warm inside my pocket, then straight went to look at my battery percentage. I am shocked. I charge my phone just like how I charged my iPhone 12 Pro, which took 1 year with 100% battery life. It bothers me now, how I can correct this. I suspect that it’s the iOS that it currently has. That’s why I am here.
Same issue. Bought 14 plus 4 weeks ago. It has dropped from 100% to 99%…none of my other iPhones degraded this quickly. Contacted Apple they said it’s normal…😮whatever
In the previous video, they said turn it off. But personally, I leave it on as I believe Apple knows what they are doing by keeping it enabled by default.
I’m fairly certain that there’s a feature or whatever that prevents users from using their phones whenever it gets too hot. Due to the chaotic nature of my work, I’ve once forgotten my phone in 100F temp and it simply stated to let it cool.
Do you have any extra battery tips that we didn't mention in the video? Let us know in the comments below and you could be featured in a future video!
What about True Tone display? Should we turn it on or off? I hope this gets a reply. Thank you!🙏🏻
My battery health went from 98% down to 94% since I watched your last iOS16 “Battery saving options” and “setup” guide.😮😡🤔 ???
Optimized battery charging still works even significant locations are disabled
Turning off Screen Time is what I’m testing after I replaced the battery. Screen time monitors every second the activity done on any app leading to more energy drained. I heard that it consumes over 10% more battery by having it turned on.
True Tone drains battery too.

I have to mention that I don't charge overnight and I am always charging my 13Pro during day time to around 85-90% from 30%. I'm not leaving the phone drain less than 30% and never go full 100%.
these are pretty good battery tips who else clicked on this video because they were very excited about there battery?
Where battery?
@@cwg73160 its in settings click battery then battery health then battery capacity then you should be able to find battery
Great tips gentlemen. Here is. Tips to enjoy always on display feature create a custom focus mode, turn on smart activation which automatically dims your focus mode. Next click on allow notifications from and the apps you want to allow notifications from. Lastly turn font color to red and as this color drains less battery!
At 3:27, you recommend turning ON "Reduce Motion". What you don't acknowledge is that in that moment, a new setting appeared directly below that switch called "Prefer Cross-Fade Transitions". What about that one? from the description, it seems that turning that one on (blocking cross-fade transitions) would also reduce battery usage.
Basically, whenever you open a menu and it pops in from the right, this setting will also reduce the motion for that animation as well. It will save battery by default as well
I absolutely love your videos, I was very excited about the iPhone display staying on, but the battery drainage is real! I turned it off and saw a change in battery life the very next day when fully charged! I will continue to watch; keep up the great work!
The only apps that I would strongly recommend that you keep location services is any weather that that will alert you of severe weather - example a lightning app which would warn you a lightning in the area.
I feel like I need to turn everything off
@@Joeprincee I will admit that I am a weather nerd (I work in emergency management). I have 7-8 different weather apps on my phone, each giving me a little different information. I would recommend have at least one general weather app and one that specifically designed for lightning. I suggest finding one that allows you to set a radius (mine allows 2 miles to 200 miles). This allows you to change the radius, depending upon any event that you have going on during the day. I tend to leave mine at about 20 miles out. When I get an alert, I can easily look and see where the lightning has been detected and then check the radar on my other weather app to see if the system is moving toward me or away from me this allows me to make informed decisions on what to do.
@@Acadian_ProudWould you consider the weather app on iphone accurate?
@@hustlawg you have to ensure that you have your phone set up to know your location at all times when it comes to the individual weather app that you have on your phone. Then it comes down to the settings on the individual weather app and how often you have it refreshing.
So I watched your video last week on things to turn off of your iPhone after the 16.3. Settings you need to turn off now ……. and since then my battery life drains like right in front of my eyes. So I’m watching this video today to see why my battery keeps draining.. wish I could go back and reset everything but I don’t know which switches I toggled during the last video URGHHH. !!! so I’m hoping that after moving settings today from this video, my battery will do a lot better. Also, you mention that if we subscribe to your channel, we could get a print out of the different settings to change and so on. I have yet to find this. Can you please direct me how to download a copy of it so I can see exactly what I’m doing and what I did? Thank you.
I like how you guys went straight to the point. Subbed.
I had energy setting on, and it stops my charging anytime between 2p-4p and says it will finish charging by 9:15p. The last time it did this, I was using my device from 7p-9p and it didn’t reach 100% by the 9:15 time, but I got the “will charge after temp returns to normal. So I turned off that setting because I’ve never seen that happen before.
Just a quick tip that I use! For the reduce white point brightness, you can add an accessibility shortcut in you control center and set that shortcut to reduce white point now when you click your power button 3 time it will reduce with point brightness!
Edit: useful when you use your phone at night often
Edit 2: to do it go in accessibility and scroll down to accessibility shortcut -> choose reduce white point
I❤️the triple-click home button thing and that you can customize what you want in Accessibility Shortcuts - especially because I use Voice Control lots so I added it as well as others - including Reduce White Point - so I can easily turn it off if I need to have a bit more brightness (like when showing my parents something on the phone lol they need the brightness way up to see things clearly 😆) or when I want to turn it on so I know I’m saving battery drainage.
I actually do this for red filter to help the strain on me eye with night shift :)
I always listen to your information. Great, I know my phone is working great! But, recently I got a message that my battery is in decline....I would like to know if I can swap out a battery from another phone that we are not using. The one I have is a 8, currently. I have my husbands, not in use, 5SE. Can I switch out the battery? Please answer if you can soon...I need advice. Thanks
I need to get an reply, do I send my email???
You can dim your always on display. Go to settings then select one of your focus modes select options then select dim lock screen it will be dark like the pixel always on display lock screen saving battery
Whoa, nice one!
It’s even better if you add the color “Black” to your Photos - then just use “Black” as the background.
Thank you for this information. I bought my first ever iPhone 14 pro a few days back and I am facing battery issues after the new update.
I hope this video helps my battery survive for longer!
Thank you for your efforts and making this video.
“Keeping it cool, cool like our channel members” 😂 you’ve got to appreciate the amazing transition skills of these two lads 👏🏻👏🏻😁
Best yt channel for ios tips!
I moved from Android to iPhone. There are things I hate about the iPhone. One thing I would love to see implemented is the ability to lock app icons to their position
on the screen. Although I know this is a feature, it drives me nuts when I download a new app and it's icon forces other icons to move out of the positions that I put
them in. When I move an app icon to a new location I don't want it to effect the other icons and cause them to move also. I want to lock them down. This constant "tetris" game with app icons is very frustrating.
Wish I came across these tips sooner… my 13pm is already on 89 battery life… never too late to learn or make changes I guess… thanks guys!
You can turn off the background image on AOD. You just have to apply a solid black background to the Lock Screen.
You can turn your iPhone off completely. It will help
@@igorm2434 🙄
Thank you for your valuable video . I have implemented all the steps. Now my battery drain is less than before.
Hey! I have a question. How much does it affect the battery’s life if you drop your phone?
I’ve always wondered this. I always blame the first drop for EVERY glitch or error afterwards lol
it wouldn't affect if you use good case before. trust me
Use a timer to see how long it takes for your phone to charge completely.
Then drop your phone from the first floor and see how long it takes to charge completely.
Then drop it from the second floor, and repeat the same process.
You’ll most likely notice how Battery Life decreases the higher you drop it from.
Hope it helps, you’re Welcome btw :)
You covered this in the video, but I think I missed it-you said you would recommend turning "off" "Optimized Battery Charging"?
You guys have saved me numerous times from going to the Apple Store and getting my phone looked at
I see several people comment on the fact that the Always On Display is just a dimmed version of your Home Screen wallpaper. However if you long press on your home screen to customize, you can set the background color to black, then set to SOLID. You can adjust this completely separate from your Home Screen so that you can keep the wallpaper you know and love but also have a solid black Lock Screen with nice white contrast.
That’s a good tip, Ryan! What I’d like is the ability to customize the Always On Display independently of the Lock Screen.
@@PayetteForward agreed! However I’m happy with a 1st iteration. I’m cautiously optimistic for future updates.
Can’t proof any of this yet, but a really helpful never the less!
What if you used a black wallpaper for the front display screen and leave always on display ON. Would that save battery and still allow the feature?
Yup
i have a 14 pro and ive noticed zero effect on battery life with my AOD turned on vs off, I get a solid 8 hours of battery life before my phone drops below 10% every day.
@Dnimike88 yes 16.1 in fact improved my battery majorly
Very helpful stuff thanks guys🤘
Great work guys! But other than the System Customization toggle, what are the other 2 related to the Optimized Battery Charging? It seems to be missing out?
Location services and significant locations
Just followed all of your instructions. I’ll see how it will go tomorrow!
In the UK, we only have 16.0.2. A few settings weren't in mine
Ur answers are diplomatic regarding battery issues
Just an FYI, reducing brightness below a certain threshold can disable pro motion and switch to 60fps and may not necessarily save more battery life.
Not saying you’re wrong but can u link to some documentation so I can learn more bout that?
So what’s the verdict? Battery Optimization is left on or off and what about the carbon setting? And can I charge whenever I want band from whatever battery percentage?
Always On Display should have a pure black background option with minimal thin white text. Black pixels are off (And refreshing at 1hz) & white pixels are BARELY on (also refreshing at 1hz). It's far too bright and not leveraging the OLED tech.
This really works! Now Im getting 1.5 days battery life on my 14 Pro. Thanks a tonne!
Just letting you know that we don’t have the Clean Energy Charging option available in Japan, and also do not have the Carbon Analytics option as well. I am assuming that in countries that support it, Apple collects the grid data from power companies to see which grid area has green energy fed into it, and by using your location, they can tell that you are within that clean energy charging grid.
First of all why battery drain in 16.2 why should we compromise with the settings before 16.2 I was able to use almost 2 days now just one day with a full battery charge will apple ever fix this issue maybe in the next update? Please let us know.
Crazy right
I’m using iPhone 11… gotta try a faster watt charger block as I’m using my old 5watt charger lol
Hi guys, what is your direct or not experience about the battery draining happening on devices after installing ios16? My 13 pro now lasts way less: in the afternoon I have to recharge it!
I enjoy your channel very much and find the tips useful! Just one little bit on this one I was slightly unclear on... I don't see you turning optimized battery charging off in the video... but you DO think we should have it off... Right?
Great video. You gave a few tips that were not in your other battery saving video. I did not no fast charging was bad for your battery and dark mode helps. You guys always give great tips. I only watch you guys about iPhones. You know what your talking about. Keep up the good work
Thank you both you simply my life (I hate the battery drainers specially, in the four older iPhones my daughter has …she’s blind & is obsessed with the older iPhone models)
Mind blowing….always well done guys.
I think apps should make a kids settings for kids can know what to do in settings instead of ruining their phones or iPads anyone agree ?
I found that clearing my Safari cache once a week helps my battery life.
I got rid of the geolocation wallpapers and real time lock screen widgets after 2 weeks. They were decimating my battery 🔋 life, and that’s on a freaking 13 Pro Max.
How is AOD really putting a hit on the battery? If phone is face down, it cuts off. If it’s in pocket, it cuts off. Do people just leave the phone sitting face up continuously? Even if you leave it face up overnight, you’re usually charging anyway. I honestly do not get this.
over an entire day you might get 5% drain if you leave it face up on a table all day.
So what needs to be turned on if i want optimized battery charging? Coz you mentioned its good but it was hazy on the video which should be turned on
raise to wake not drain battery?
Guitars have become the ubiquitous decor for youtoobers
I have the 14 Pro MAX. The battery capacity is so large I always come home with 50%. I am out walking for most of the day and use streaming apps like SXM or Audacy. If you really want to stretch out the batter use these tips. I think they more important on the smaller 6.1 phone. I had the 13 with the smaller screen and was always fretting about running out of battery life. Browsing, using the camera, Google maps and streaming apps definitely use large quantities of battery life. If you are on vacation and take a lot photos you definitely need the larger phone or a battery pack.
You were always running out of battery on the 13? How the heck? Bruh my SE 2020 literally lasts 2 1/2 hours of screen-on time.
@@YourMother6yrsago I would come home at the end of the day with about 20%. They have improved the streaming radio apps somewhat so they didn't chew up battery capacity.
I have PressReader on my iPad also my iPhone. You can read actual newspapers just like they were delivered. When I got my iPad Mini. The app was literally shredding the battery. I thought I got a defective iPad. They ran a battery stress test on the Mini saying it was fine. I would get maybe 4 hours of reading time before I had to recharge iPad. PressReader finally resolved the problem. My iPad was fine. The app was just a battery drainer. Now I get 10 hours or more on the Mini.
Though Apple reviews apps there are still many out there that really drain the battery. The larger 6.7 inch phone can withstand almost any heavy usage.
With my iPhone 13 Pro Max intense apps the whole still come back with 67 😂😂👀

I just adjusted all these settings! Thanks for these tips!
Thanks for the video, gents! At 00:04 you mention the battery life. I've got an iPhone 11, and I've heard that updates "work" the battery. Its like every time you download and update you are slowly "killing" your battery because it makes the phone work more. Is that true? I jsut got my phone and haven't downloaded IOS 16 for that reason. Thanks!
I notice you have “raise to wake” on. I have that turned off. Should I turn it back on? Won’t bother the battery?
Question: (love you guys, by the way!) I have an Iphone 8+. Should I use the new charging brick or the old one, or does it matter for 8+ ?? Also, my battery health is at 81%. Should I get a new battery? (NOT giving up my 8+) ;)♥
Ok, thanks for the reply.
16 has been terrible on my 14! Has taken my battery life down by 7%, sometimes a percent per day and phone, even on low battery mode won’t last the business day. Installed 16.6 last night. So far, still above 30%. 🤞
Turn off true tone for better battery
True Tone doesn’t affect battery life
Your screen brightness uses more power than any other setting that they have mentioned
To get better battery
Use auto brightness but mess with your battery slider
Lower the brightness is the better your will last longer
This is the best battery ever on TH-cam for IPhone
I would like to make one amendment for all runners who use their phone as a safety light while running early morning or late night.
Using auto shut off WILL turn off your screen after 5 minutes ( or however long you set it for ) and you will have to reopen your phone to get the light back on.
Hey Guys, thanks for your great videos!! I just downloaded iOS 16.3 and checking the settings you are recommending but don't see a Battery Health & Charging option? Do I need to change a setting elsewhere? Thanks in advance!
This update fucked my battery so hard
So rad getting to see Jon Snow and Josh Homme together!
"Just install Google Maps on your iPhone", says the privacy concerned TH-camrs. Ha.
Good point! Maybe we should make a Google App Privacy settings video! 🤣
-Zech
Information on Siri Suggestions & Spotlight search would be also nice to get related to the Battery life ❤
So long story short, just turn your phone off completely to maximum battery savings...
I tend to leave auto brightness off. I noticed it auto brightens the screen when I don’t necessarily need it.
So pissed today. Bought my iPhone 14 pro 2 weeks after its official release. Currently in iOS 16.1. With good charging habits, did not even use it for longer periods. Now it’s already 98%, after I’ve noticed it was warm inside my pocket, then straight went to look at my battery percentage. I am shocked. I charge my phone just like how I charged my iPhone 12 Pro, which took 1 year with 100% battery life.
It bothers me now, how I can correct this. I suspect that it’s the iOS that it currently has. That’s why I am here.
Fix for this issue: Return phone and buy any other phone except apple.
Mine is the same😢
@@gl3605 not possible. Am for Apple always
Same issue. Bought 14 plus 4 weeks ago. It has dropped from 100% to 99%…none of my other iPhones degraded this quickly. Contacted Apple they said it’s normal…😮whatever
@@faytb76 worst iphone version I have ever had. So pissed.
Do you have your Grindr on? I keep hearing Grindr notifications
I disagree. I think that Apple has done the always on display better than any other phone. And on a 14 pro max the battery usage is negligible.
Question: it’s that like a Otterbox defender in your iphone? And what stand is that, Thanks guys great info all the time
My doddery middle aged eyes can’t read that battery percentage. So now it’s off.
Me too. Easier to pull down......................still!
you’re going to be so happy for ios 16.1 then. it’s improved
@@kapggp Thank you, I haven't checked it since IOS 16 and now we're on 16.2.
So, In the video you left Optimized battery setting on. You said, off, correct?
I was just wondering about that too. Should we turn it off?
In the previous video, they said turn it off.
But personally, I leave it on as I believe Apple knows what they are doing by keeping it enabled by default.
I already love your channel
I’m fairly certain that there’s a feature or whatever that prevents users from using their phones whenever it gets too hot. Due to the chaotic nature of my work, I’ve once forgotten my phone in 100F temp and it simply stated to let it cool.
