How to solve the problem of fast battery consumption in iOS

To be honest, although Apple's iOS tuning for the iPhone 13 series is excellent, it is only thanks to the powerful hardware performance of the A15 processor and the cooperation between the iOS15 system that the current excellent battery life performance is achieved. I believe that for most friends who hold old iPhones before the iPhone 12, the iPhone battery will inevitably need 2-3 charges a day, and the battery health is basically hovering around 80%. In addition to changing the battery and buying a new iPhone, we can actually reduce/slow down the power consumption of the phone by changing some phone settings, thereby extending the life of the phone.

How to solve the problem of fast battery consumption in iOS

1. Find the big power consumers

First of all, there are many reasons why mobile phones consume power quickly, which are related to our personal usage habits, usage environment, apps installed in the phone, and system settings. Therefore, we can start with the most important factors, such as those apps that consume a lot of power. For example, on my iPhone, the best one is TikTok. Then we can consider reducing the duration and frequency of app use. In addition, try to close these apps when they are suspended in the background to reduce the speed of power consumption.

2. Turn off background refresh

Background application refresh is related to the background of the App. When we open multiple Apps on an Apple phone, when we switch between apps, the apps we are using will be displayed on the screen, and the apps we are not using will be suspended in the background. If background refresh is turned on, the apps hanging in the background will also refresh data in the background and receive information. This is why the battery consumption of the iPhone becomes faster after turning on houtaiApp refresh. If there is no special need, it is recommended that you turn off background refresh.

3. Adjust the screen display brightness

One of the biggest power consumers of mobile phones is the screen of our mobile phone. I believe that most friends will adjust the screen brightness to automatic or brightest, which is the most worry-free and convenient. However, if you want to save power, it is recommended that you try to reduce the screen brightness. We can adjust it through Settings-Display and Brightness-Brightness. Of course, it is recommended that you do not go too extreme and directly turn the screen brightness down to the bottom. In fact, it is not advisable. It mainly affects everyone's daily use. A screen with too low brightness is actually not conducive to our viewing of the screen. Just adjust it to a moderate brightness.

4. Turn off positioning

After the positioning function is turned on in various apps on our mobile phones, the mobile phone system will continuously perform GPS positioning on the mobile phone, with high frequency and multiple times, which will accelerate the power consumption of our iPhone and consume a lot of power. Many apps will perform positioning in the background to obtain the location used by the user. The most typical ones are mobile maps, various e-commerce platforms and social platforms. It is recommended that you try to turn off the positioning function except for maps and some commonly used apps, which can reduce the power consumption of our mobile phones.

Turning off location tracking can effectively alleviate the problem of iPhone battery consumption

In fact, in addition to the above settings that can ease the power consumption of our iPhone, you can also use dynamic wallpapers as little as possible, turn off iCloud synchronization and other functions to reduce the power consumption of the iPhone. Of course, all this is based on the premise that it does not affect our daily use. The battery capacity of the iPhone has always been small, and it can generally meet the needs of 1 day of use. However, if the iPhone is more than 2 years old, there will be some battery capacity decay under normal use. In addition, iOS has limited optimization for old models, and the power consumption will be faster. On the one hand, I suggest carrying a mobile power bank with you, and you can also get a new battery through official replacement. But remember to change the battery at most 3 times, because the aging of electronic components is irreversible. Even if the battery is replaced, it is difficult to continue to use the aging components of the entire iPhone. Finally, if the budget is sufficient, it is not a bad idea to change to a new iPhone.
