iPhone 15 Battery Life - 10 tips

1. Low Data Mode

Hidden within your Wi-Fi settings is a gem called "Low Data Mode." This feature prioritizes Wi-Fi over mobile data, reducing the background scanning for mobile connections and ultimately saving power. Head to your Wi-Fi settings, click on the network, and enable this option to reduce unnecessary power consumption.

2. Background App Refresh

Apps refreshing in the background can silently drain your battery. Navigate to Settings > General > Background App Refresh to review and deselect apps that don't need to update constantly. This action prevents them from sapping your device's power when idle.

3. Shortcuts Automation

The Shortcuts app offers a clever way to automate your power-saving settings. Create an automation that triggers Low Power Mode when your battery reaches a specific percentage, such as 15% or 20%. This hands-off approach ensures your phone conserves power without manual intervention.

4. Always-On Display

The "Always-On Display" might seem minimal, but turning it off (Settings > Display & Brightness) can save a little extra power. Turning off this feature, especially if you don't use it frequently, preserves your battery life.

5. Display Settings Adjustment

Tweak your display settings (Settings > Accessibility > Motion) by lowering the refresh rate from 120Hz to 60Hz. By reducing motion effects and frame rates, you can save power without compromising your user experience.

6. Siri Settings

If Siri isn't an integral part of your daily routine, consider turning off the "Listen for 'Hey Siri'" option in Settings > Siri & Search. Turning off Siri minimizes constant processing, saving battery power by not actively listening for the wake word.

7. Charging Optimization

In the Battery Health settings, you can limit charging to 80%. This feature extends the overall battery life, but it might only be practical for some daily needs. Evaluate if this setting aligns with your usage patterns.

8. Downtime Schedule

Create a daily downtime schedule in Screen Time to reduce information flow, giving both yourself and your iPhone some rest. Customize the duration to minimize the data flow to your device during specific periods.

9. Dark Mode

Dark Mode isn't just a visual preference; it's also a power-saving option. Please set it to automatic or permanent (Settings) to switch off pixels in black areas of the screen, significantly conserving battery power.

10. Bonus Tips

Explore additional features such as 'Screen Distance' in Screen Time, which helps maintain healthy viewing distances, and 'Night Shift' in Display settings to adjust screen color temperature, promoting better sleep by reducing blue light exposure.


Extra Bonus Tips

The iPhone 15 series battery life may be limited due to the materials used by the manufacturer. We highly recommend using an iPhone 15 MagSafe aramid fiber case with a MagSafe battery pack to extend your phone's charge while on the go.

Conclusion

Implementing these power-saving techniques can significantly optimize your iPhone's battery life. Remember, individual usage may vary, so experiment with these settings and discover what works best for you.

I love how you’ve covered both the obvious and some less-known tips. I wanted to share something I recently came across that could add even more value to your tips. Have you heard of Chargie? It’s a neat device that helps manage how your phone charges by stopping it at a specific battery level. Pairing Chargie with your advice on limiting charging to 80% in Battery Health settings could be a game-changer for maintaining battery health over time.
