Up until about a month ago, I was feeling pretty smug about the fact that my iPhone 14 Pro had lasted about 9 months on 100% battery health. That is until we took a drive in our new car, and I put the phone on the included wireless phone charger for about 2 hours, and the wireless charger absolutely cooked my phone, resulting in a 2% drop in battery health. And honestly, from that point on, it feels like the floodgates have opened. Now, it’s worth pointing out that lithium ion batteries do lose chemical health over time, this is totally normal, but I’m definitely feeling the pinch a little bit now, with a phone that would usually last all day, now needing charging at least once during the day.
So, a couple of weeks ago, I decided to do some research, and find out what I could do to keep my battery lasting as long as possible. Now, I can’t restore any battery health, but what I have been able to do is drastically increase the amount of time that my battery lasts, with it now actually lasting longer than it did before it lost it’s battery health. These are settings that I think you should know about, and whilst you might not decide to use all of them, you should definitely consider using some of them, to get as much life out of your battery as you possibly can.

![25 Hacks To Fix iPhone Battery Drain - Apple Hates #7! [iOS 17.2 Battery Drain]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/TjwmaAqS7IA/mqdefault.jpg)
Good information. My general advice is don’t obsess over it. Enjoy all that your phone offers. You paid for it. Charge as you need, and if battery health declines before you’re ready for a new phone, you can have the battery replaced.
Yes!
You are absolutely right. For someone like me changing the phone every couple of years will be kind of hard. So i would like to preserves as much as i can. But i have paid every single feature and using none. That's really sad. 120hz is so smooth to use, as i have enabled low power mode, its turned off too..
I think i should take your suggestion.
Yeah my phone my rule😁😁😁 i will use how i want.. battery’s I don’t care😂🤣
Thanks so much! I’m doing fine without the worry. If I was having problems, this would be a good start to understanding why.
I don't get why you can't use 120hz with low power mode
Thanks! This was a good time to revisit the settings that affect my battery. 😃

Tom, this was excellent. Thank you for taking the time and effort to share this with us. To my surprise, I found I was not subscribed but have been a regular viewer for over a year - so I subscribed. All the best, Rob in Switzerland
Thanks for the kind words Rob, and welcome aboard!
Great info ... I adjusted a few settings after your description of what they did - Thank you! I have not had issues with battery life. I have modified charging time ... I do not typically charge overnight. I work from a home office and it is generally convenient to allow battery to drain to 30% and below and then charging as I am working during the day. BUT, I also have an Apple watch (Ultra) so I am not dependent on the phone for calls/messages/emails. Still, I like to keep my phone 2-3 years so understanding battery health is important to me.
Thank you for another great informational video. As I watched I disabled the items I didn't need that were needlessly draining my battery. At full charge, I'm still only at 80% because my iPhone SE is about three years old so I need to conserve what I have. You are always so helpful!
Also at 80% on an XR, pretty proud that it’s still decent after 5 years, although I definitely don’t leave the house without a battery pack anymore lol
@@diagonallycuttoast2438 for how many days more do u plan to use your xr before switching
One of the best tutorials I’ve seen on maximizing battery life. Many thanks!
I never looked in such depth into my phone before ! Your explanations are so clear, so thanks, Cheers and enjoy the coffee :)
Excellent video. In addition to learning about battery life options, I learned what some of the options in setting are intended to do! Very helpful as Apple’s explanations always leave me scratching my head. 😊
Thanks always enjoyed your content. So clear, concise and very informative! 😊
Yours is the best video regarding this subject. Clear, concise, and excellent directions/tutorial. Thank you so kindly for taking the time to put this together and share this info with us.
This is a great video, and I appreciate you for it. Just upgraded my beloved XR to a 14, and wanted to do what I can to preserve battery life. I had many of these recommendations set already, but there were many I hadn’t known about or considered. I also owe you a big thank you for teaching me about how iOS will dim bright whites a bit, and warn of strobe effects. I have seizures, and strobe/bright lights can be a trigger for me. I operate with Night Shift on as well, as my eyes are so sensitive to the blues without it on. Just… so many thanks!!! ❤
Batteries are complex, and their precise capacity can vary. For instance, Apple's "100%" for the 14 Pro Max is 4323 mAh. But due to manufacturing nuances, many batteries end up with an "overcapacity," like 4729 mAh (~109% health). This is why when you drop below 100%, it can feel like opening the "flood gates"-you're just approaching Apple's spec.
I work in R&D for a medical company, and we see similar battery capacity variations. It's a bit of a "battery lottery."
Side note: Many have noticed the iPhone 14's quicker battery health decline. It's a topic worth investigating further.
Your wireless charging point is valid. It can be less efficient than wired. Every 1% delivered through a cable might be 0.8% wirelessly, but with similar wear. This impacts battery longevity. To get a clearer picture, tools like CoconutBattery can reveal if your device began with overcapacity.
Brilliant, helpful and peer-threatening quality of information and presentation. Well done Tom, no hysterical, wacky and weird histrionics, just super clear and well-explained. Thank you.
Your videos are always easy to understand and informative! Thanks.
I love the haptic feature for the keyboard especially
Best Video out there, Thanks to you for always letting us know about a few consequences preset there behind every setting, This really stands you apart from others!
These are all basic smartphone adjustments.
However, this video is very straightforward and helpful for new iPhone users.
When I first got an iPhone a few years ago it was a huge learning curve to find the simplest settings.
Amazing video man. Absolutely well done. You’ve summed up some critical information that one would have to go look for in 4 videos, 2 Reddit posts and 1 forum post. I’ve subscribed due to your honesty, good documentation and clear instructions, and will also surely subscribe to your news outlet. Keep doing these videos!
Excellent as usual-explained in plain language making everything straightforward.
I went though the tips you had with my brand new iPhone 15 pro max. And omg it hasn’t left 100% for hours. You’re amazing and your tips are wonderful. Thank you so much
Thanks for a comprehensive view of battery! One of the best I’ve seen!
Thank you for this, I noticed my phone has been getting a little slow lately, And this definitely helped.
This video is really good, once I implement MOST of the video’s content settings onto my device, my battery lifespan for a day has increased significantly. Amazing! Though the reduce white point doesn’t quite work for me cause I do prefer the brightness as it would affect my eyes a little to SQUINT if it’s dark mode. So I kept my light mode :) all in all this video is amazing ❤
I searched for this online about 24 hours ago, great timing!

Like to me too ❤
Very informative and thanks for taking time to share such precise info….💐
your content is always so useful - thanks for what you do!!
Thanks for the advice! My iPhone 13 has had a significantly worse time in terms of Battery Life on iOS 17 so I did most of these tips. Reduced Motion was the one thing that I turned on like suggested but changed back because of how important it seems to be for me after knowing how it is with it off
Great information. I implemented all but disabling the Raise to Wake 👍
Dim Flashing Lights uses the Neural engine to detect content so it might use more battery in the process. Disabling System Customization and Significant Locations will also stop Optimized Battery Charging from working. In addition to Reduce Motion, you might want to turn on Reduce Transparency as well.
Great video ….. i have set all of them …. The best part is the Time stamps and a systematic approach
As a musician, having a piano app on my phone can occasionally come in handy. Following your advice I learned that this app is a huge battery hog! I rarely use it, but it seems to be very busy in the background. Thank you.
You forgot to mention that background app refresh is very important to have data synched between devices, like spreadsheets in numbers or photos taken on the phone appearing on the iPad.
This is by far the best video to explain on details on how to get the most out of your battery! I do want to add one thing.. Under Sound and Haptics, I would scroll down to where you see "System Haptics" and I would turn that off which disables all haptics from your phone. Since your iPhone does haptics around the system it can also drain some battery. Other than that great video!
Another great video. I was following it with my iPhone 11 in hand following your suggestions. Thanks
Thanks for this I appreciate your videos!!!
Very informative video thank you,keep it up with the good job 🎉
Some good tips here. I’ve a 6 year old phone with battery at 79%, so every little improvement is a plus. Thanks for sharing.
WOW, that is impressive you have a phone that old and still a functioning battery, well done.
I have an iPhone XR on 79% battery health too
I have iPhone 11 at 75% but still seem to rarely have a low battery problem (except when using on GM on a long journey and forget to plug it in, or an extended period of video watching)
Replacing a battery at apple is cheaper than buying new iPhone so I'd recommend that.
i’ve had an iphone xr for 3 year and an half and my battery’s at 77!!
I remembered that I can switch off background refresh just today! So happy!
Great video very helpful. I could watch you a lot, ❤
Thank you so much for the reducing white point one, i suffer from migraines and sometimes i cant even bear to look at my phone even when i lower the brightness all the way down, but after enabling it, it is way better and doesn't hurt my eyes
Great video! Informative and easy to follow, I like your style of presenting too! New sub here! Cheers
Very Helpful. Thank You!
Fantastic information. Thank you!
I watched this video on the day you released it then again a few times and played around with settings. Aside from a day with lots of calls and a video call , I have not needed to charge my phone aside from the night time charge. Beforehand I had to top it up. I’m using an IPhone 13 mini 1 year old battery health 89%. Thank you!!!
I have to admit that this is the best battery saver video I’ve ever seen. Thanks a lot. 💙
Glad you liked it!
Agreed
This video was particularly useful in that almost everyone struggles with battery drain. I highly recommend following his advice.
Well done! I’ll be adding you to my roll-o-dex😉
Hi. I just wanted to say thank you for this video. I used some of these tips and what a difference it made on my iPhone 14 pro’s battery life. Now it lasts all day long and when I’m going to bed and put it on the charger it usually still has 30% or more battery life.
Great! Thank you for complete information.
1) turn of your mobile
2)throw it in basket
3) buy nokia
Great tips, I've applied a few. Now to see what difference it makes on my iPhone SE
Excellent and thorough! Thanks!!👍
Would you recommend setting up charge to 80% or is just battery optimisation enough? Thank you
Excellent video thanks. Reviewed all the settings for my first gen SE - which as you can imagine has limited battery life in 2023 - and it is now doing much better especially the background drain when it’s not actually in use. Should be good for another 4 years now 😉
Very detailed video, i love it
Thanks for the great advice.
Outstanding advice! The PDF option is mandatory, IMO.
Push works a little bit different: when a email reaches the mailbox (and only then), the server (or mail delivery agent) "pushes" it to the app (mail user agent); the bulk of the battery consumption is because the display turns on and not because the email is being pushed to the phone, so the "solution" is in the way one handles the notifications.
Yeah he was actually 100% wrong about it, his recommendation would actually use more battery if anything, whilst causing a big delay in notification
Stumbled upon this, too. Push != pull 😉
I was slightly surprised you didn't address slow charging vs fast charging and also optimal charge range levels to maintain battery health. After watching the video I can see that quite a few data related settings will depend on your choice of mobile service provider.
We know he lives in 🇬🇧 because… 0:50.
For anyone not in 🇬🇧, there’s a blistering heatwave in Europe but not in the U.K. where, as his phone shows, it’s cold and wet. Yesterday (22/7/23), the lowest recorded temperature was 35°F (1.6°C) in Scotland (at night, of course)!
I’m a little late, but fast vs slow charging doesn’t affect battery health. Heat is one of the biggest contributing factors, as long as fast charging isn’t generating any extra heat, it’ll degrade at the same rate as slower charging would.
yeah but fast charging generates more heat right? i have an anker charger and its hot af, compared to using a 7.5watt samsung charger.(with an anker lightning cable) So maybe only use fast charging when you really need it.
@@geraldct46803 it doesn’t matter if the charger itself gets hot or not, just your phone. If your phone stays cool to the touch at 50watt charging (for example) your battery will degrade at the same rate as charging at 5watt would.
Fast charging doesn’t degrade battery as long as you keep the phone cool
Thank you so much was really interesting :)
I am trying out almost ALL your suggestions. Thank you!
By far the best put together advise on YT. It's well structured and actually a good reminder to most people including the ones that could do with a refresh. Thanks 👍 subscribed. Oh, I personally thing the frame rate feature plays a massive role in battery drain. I say turn it off
Wonderful tips, thanks a stack 🎉🎉🎉
Great & helpful video, as are your Mac book videos, to which I transitioned from Windows recently.
Regarding the iPhone, my ringer has no volume, even with the volume buttons turned all the way up. Do I have a setting wrong? Thanks.
One of my favorite videos that I’ll likely revisit as I get more familiar with my 15Pro.
Optimising battery got me crazy. How often I had to deactivate it because I needed it for work.
So sometimes it can be a curse using this option.
Great video! Just want to comment on one thing regarding significant locations. Turning off significant locations will cause optimized charging not to work properly.
Excellent Tips.
It definitely made a difference with my battery usage. I found White point on 45% to be the sweet spot. Disabled Reduce Motion after about 30 mins though. Phone is just not as “fluid” with it enabled.
Do you have a video covering iPhone accessibility features? I knew a lot of these, but I know there are so many more! You point out some features in your videos, but it would be helpful to have them all together. Thanks
I had the same problem. Used a belkin Qi charger at my parents. Phone was super hot and then next day 98 percent. Thanks for the tips!
Great tips, disabled everything but haptic feedback on keyboard. Don’t know why but I love this feature so I’ll take the battery hit.
thanks for sharing dude 👍
Useful info. Thanks
Thank you for showing me reduce white point. At night time even the lowest brightness is too bright for me and this option is a lifesaver.
Zero points for origninality since every battery saving video out there has the same list of settings to change. 100 points for presentation as your videos are always a pleasure to watch. How you speak in a constant warm tone and present the infographics is really good. 👍
Thanks - but did you expect me
to invent new settings on the iPhone nobody has ever seen before?
Thanks so much, that was a great video and I've turned a whole pile of things off on my new iPhone 15.
thanks for the tips
Could you build a Shortcut with the most notable settings changes so that all settings could be toggled off/on? I’m not super familiar with Shortcuts.
Which charging adapter do u use for good battery health the 20w or 5w, i use the pixel 2 charger on my iPhone 14 pro should i be concerned?
So helpful! Thanks!
WOW! Thank you soo soo much, my battery life have lasted like 2x longer after watching your video! TYSM
Outstanding, many thanks.
Nice sharing! Toggle “On” Auto Play effects & videos are really bad ideas especially if the phone network is weak. And when the phone trying “very hard” to load social media contents without having a good network or loss network, the phone started to get from warmer to really hot at times.
Maybe you should touch on weird situations like phone getting warmer and to the extent feeling like an iron iphone. What are to possible actions etc.
I'm a new iphone user! Thank you for this information!
Good job very useful.. thanks
turn off half of these and you have an iPhone 6 plus
I second your experience of charging phone in the car. I went more that 9 months at 100%. One fine day, did a car charge thru Apple original cable and since then I’ve dropped to 90% in three months. I’m using 13mini btw.
I think, the settings have less to do with it, but more is because once something cooks and heats your battery like a car charge gone wrong or a high heat summer day usage, thats it, your battery is never going to be the same again. I am a very very light user, no heavy games, videos or social.
Yeah best to keep phone out of sun and mount it with a cool vent blowing on it if it’s getting hot
The battery health is accurate anyways. It was likely at 95% when you plugged it in the car.
I went extreme with this, by creating some automations in Shortcuts to keep Low Power mode on constantly. As such I get 2-3 days between charges on my iPhone SE 3rd gen.
And I've not noticed any negative impact for how I use my phone, because I don't want alerts on email receipt. I prefer to check my email only when I'm away from my computer and have the time to do so, so I don't need email activity constantly in the background.
I still receive my text Messages as and when they are sent by the other party, so this is the one thing which would have been a deal breaker for me, but thankfully is not a problem with Low Power mode.
The Shortcuts automations to achieve this were: 1. When battery falls below 100%, set Low Power mode to ON. and 2. When Low Power mode is turned OFF, set Low Power mode to ON.
I also have Shortcuts automations to switch WiFi and Bluetooth OFF when I am away from home and then switch them back on when I am near or at home. I don't use WiFi or Bluetooth outside of home, so why leave those radios ON?
Video is great, particularly about auto brightness. However, it is incorrect that push means the iphone is constantly querying the email server. Push means the email server will serve the email to the phone when received, push is better than fetch for battery life in most instances, unfortunately it is not available for all email providers. Lastly compass calibration and motion calibration and distance I would say are quite important if you use maps and even more so if you use it for walking directions, knowing the direction you are going when walking is pretty useful and if compass calibration is off it can affect the accuracy of the direction, say it from experience haha.
I love your content. You’re my favorite british person by far 🙏🏻
Couldn’t agree more about the floodgates opening! My battery health was at 100% up until 8 months after purchase now at 13 months it all the way down to 90%! 😢
😢😢😢😢what you mean
Mine too.
Thanks, bought a used 11 and I plan to return it but need to use it until I get my new phone, it's health is 77% so I enabled quite a few of your tips, hoping to reduce charge-anxiety, lol. thanks
The problem with having Battery Health below 80% is that the battery may end up quickly discharging after it reaches a lower level of charge. On some of my past iPhones, the battery charge would suddenly drop from 20-25% down to 2% when the Battery Health was below 80%.
Fantastic and very informative video again, thank you so much!
To me one of the worst things you can do is actually QI charging. Especially in cars, I'm afraid they are real battery killers. I just updated to a 14Pro and I now refrain from QI chargers and use a good old cable.
One question you might be able to give an answer to: I have lots of open tabs in Safari on my iPhone (140) is that as well a battery drainer, or are they only activated when tapping on the tab? Thanks 🙏🏻
it's okay to have many open tabs. your phone will put them into standby mode and then activate the tab that you're using. so only activated when tapping on the tab 👍
@@jellibear2011 thanks for clarifying 🙏🏻
I activate low power mode at 30% through a automated shortcut - if I’ve used 70% for the day I’ve had a good run and welcome the minimal extra saving if I’m out and about late in the evening.
You’re not the only one feeling smug about the battery being 100%. I don’t think it was the charger in your car but more to do with an update. Around the same time my update started to destroy my battery, knocking my iPhone 14 pro now down to 90%.
I have a shortcut set up that lowers my screen brightness at a really low setting for in the house then slightly boosts it around 9am when daylight.
We have to remember that the wireless charging system is simply a couple RF coils, some filters, some control, rectification (and maybe smoothing) and finally regulation before it enters the charging chip.
It’s got to be a little thermal wasting the induction coils and all those semiconductors producing all that heat, but I also agree with the update.
Did u install the beta ios 17 , my 14 pro has been with me for seven months and its 100%, if u didn’t then ur phone usage is high
Wireless charging is a battery killer due to the heat it causes .
What are y'all doing with your phones ? I have a 14 pro max for a year now and I am a heavy user (medical school) and my battery life ks at 98% 😂
@@NickN56 iʼll reach a year around December 20th, and mine rn is at 96% 😭.. also a heavy user.
Great video!
I set a shortcut to turn on Always on Display while charging. And shut it off when the charger is disconnected.
reduce white point is a crazy function. And until now, I neither knew that one nor that I could deactivate Auto Brightness. Since switching from Android, that was one of the things I hated. Now I can decide myself how I want the brightness, that's so dope, thank you!!!!
NOTIFICATION SUMMARY IS SUCH A NICE FEATURE, WHY DIDN'T I EVER SEE IT???
Apple. That had to be advertised!
But well, thank you for showing!!!!!
18:00 I nearly disabled everything. Now I'll decide in the next days if I want to let it like now or if I'll change it. But that's also a dope function!
27:14 that was a lot of important indormation. Now I gotta do the same on my iPad Pro hehe
Overall: THANK YOU!
If you would like your phone to charge faster. Create and animation that turns on low power mode when a charger is connected and another animation the turns low power mode off when the chargers is disconnected. I also created an animations that turns low power mode off what the battery reached 45% so it will charge faster to 45% then go back to normal charger after.
