Ex Apple employee warns about simple mistake that's killing iPhone batteries

Low Power Mode isn’t the only solution.

If there’s one thing in common with all smartphone users, it’s that the battery life isn’t always up to scratch.

With endless scrolling on social media and storage to hold a huge number of apps, it’s no wonder our phones can burn through the battery.

However, these helpful tips might just save your battery juices from depleting too quickly.

There are some handy tips for saving your iPhone battery life.

Former Apple employee Tyler Morgan claims these hacks could prolong your battery life.

While some might seem obvious, there are other tips you may not have considered before.

Some users have complained about not being able to scroll through the internet without being hit with a Low Battery message.

One way to overcome that is to toggle the 'Reduce White Point' feature, which is on under Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text Size.

It is said that it reduces the intensity of bright colors on your screen and it seems the more this is reduced, the more battery life you save.

You may think running your battery down and charging it back to 100 percent is helpful, but apparently this isn’t the case.

Morgan suggests keeping your iPhone’s battery between 30 and 80 percent is the ‘sweet spot’.

The idea is running your battery down can actually put a strain on your phone, so to prevent this it’s advised you keep your phone in the ‘sweet spot’ and prolong your battery.

Sounds like it might require a lot of micromanagement, but it could be worthwhile if you’re having issues with battery life.

This one might be obvious, but he also says to switch off the phone’s Bluetooth feature as it’s something the majority of us probably hardly use.

Tip two is to turn off the background app refresh so all of your apps aren’t silently chewing through power when not in use.

Morgan also suggests switching off location services, Siri and dimming the phone’s brightness, as these passive features could also be eating away at your battery.

For some iPhone users, particularly those with the new iPhone 15, it seems the new iOS 17 update has contributed to a depleted battery life.

Let’s hope these tips help with that.

Apple has also been contacted for comment.
