iPhone users can stretch their daily battery life by adjusting a few settings that influence energy use. A popular technology blogger recently shared practical tips for keeping devices powered longer, highlighting how smart tweaks can make a real difference in real-world use. This guidance appears on the YouTube channel dedicated to gadget reviews and battery life discussions.
One efficient move is to disable 5G cellular search in cases where the network technology does not operate reliably in a given country. If a section exists in the settings for 5G calls and the local network does not support it, turning off this option can conserve power. The feature is often enabled by default, and turning it off is straightforward. The blogger notes that the continuous search for compatible networks tends to drain a noticeable amount of battery life, making this a simple yet impactful adjustment. [Tech blogger attribution]
Another common myth is that leaving Bluetooth and Wi‑Fi running in the background wastes energy on modern devices. The author stresses that these wireless components have undergone extensive power-saving improvements and that turning them off is usually unnecessary. In practice, keeping Bluetooth and Wi‑Fi enabled will not drastically shorten battery life, so users can stay connected without undue worry. [Tech blogger attribution]
Attention is also drawn to Apple’s Always On Display feature. The blogger suggests evaluating whether this preview of information is essential for daily use. For many owners of the iPhone 14 Pro, Always On Display can be a steady battery draw when it is always visible, even though it offers convenient glanceable information. The recommendation is to switch it off if it is not regularly used, as this helps preserve charge over longer periods. [Tech blogger attribution]
Additionally, Apple has rolled out official guidance about battery care for all current iPhone models. The recommendations emphasize avoiding overheating or extremely cold conditions, which can hamper battery health and capacity over time. By moderating environmental temperatures and avoiding exposure to heat spikes during charging, users can help maintain optimal performance and longevity. [Tech blogger attribution]
Beyond these specific settings, everyday habits matter. Keeping software up to date ensures the device benefits from the latest energy efficiency improvements. Managing background app activity, such as limiting notifications and background refresh for nonessential apps, can also reduce unnecessary power consumption. Small changes add up over a day, a week, and a month, contributing to a noticeably longer battery life. [Tech blogger attribution]
In practical terms, users should consider personal routines when tuning their device. If they rely heavily on cellular data, streaming, or navigation throughout a typical day, they may prefer a balance that favors performance over marginal energy savings. Conversely, those who mainly use essential apps and occasional calls can opt for higher efficiency by enabling shorter screen timeouts, using lower refresh rates where available, and keeping Always On Display disabled when not needed. The aim is to tailor settings to individual usage patterns while maintaining a satisfactory user experience. [Tech blogger attribution]
