Is the battery consumption serious after upgrading to iOS 14.8? Share 10 iPhone power saving settings, applicable to all models

Hello again, I am Dawei. In addition to sharing the latest digital news with you every day,

Occasionally, we will also bring you some practical experience in using iPhone.

I believe many people have upgraded to iOS 14.8. Most of the feedback is that the battery life has deteriorated and the signal has improved. Today I will share with you 10 settings to increase iPhone battery life and optimize severe power loss. Applicable to all future iOS systems and all iPhone models, you can keep them forever.

Before sharing the ten iPhone settings, let's first understand whether you have good charging habits. In order to better extend the battery life, you need to know the following content in advance~

iPhone Lithium-ion Battery

Compared to traditional battery technology, lithium-ion batteries charge faster, last longer, and their higher power density allows for longer battery life while being lighter. If you know a little about how batteries work, they can work better for you.

Fast charging is for emergency use, please choose slow charging most of the time.

Apple lithium-ion batteries use fast charging, quickly reaching 80 percent capacity, then switching to a slower trickle charge.

When the battery exceeds the recommended temperature, the software may limit charging after 80% charge.

This combined process not only lets you get your device out the door faster, but it also extends the life of the battery.

Understanding the battery charge cycle

A battery has a limited number of cycles before it is considered exhausted.

The battery can achieve up to 1,000 full charge and discharge cycles before the battery capacity drops to 80% of its initial capacity.

Good charging habits

1. Do not frequently use the battery below 20% and then recharge it, as this will consume more battery power. Apple's official recommendation is to use the battery below 20% and then recharge it once a month. Keeping the battery charge between 40% and 60% regularly can better maintain the battery.
2. If the temperature of a mobile phone is often kept too high, it will affect the battery life, but this is the case with Apple phones. When playing on 4G, the temperature can often soar to over 40 degrees.
3. Don't charge for a long time. Many people charge the phone all night before going to bed. Although the iPhone automatically disconnects the charger and does not cause overcharging and damage to the battery, this will accelerate the battery charging cycle.
4. Try to use the original charging head and data cable for charging. Non-original ones may charge slowly. Try not to use the computer USB to charge when you can use the head.
5. It’s okay to charge while playing occasionally, but try not to use fast charging ~ the main reason is that excessively high temperatures will reduce battery life.

Summary of good charging habits: 1. Connect the phone to charge when it is not in use, and keep it between 20 and 80. If you start charging at less than 20 for a long time and then do not unplug it after it is fully charged to 100, it will speed up the battery's charging cycle, so the battery life will be relatively accelerated.

Many people may think: It is too troublesome to maintain good charging habits. Do I have to care about charging habits when using a mobile phone? Yes, Dawei thinks so too.
