The iOS 7.1 comes with many great improvements and features. On papers, it looks like the best thing ever created by Apple but in truth, the iOS 7.1 is a major power leecher compared to its predecessor, the iOS 7.
While there is no denying this hard truth, we are here to assist you iPhone users by giving away tips to prolong the device’s battery life. Here are some of them.
1. Test the battery
Under Settings>General>Usage, monitor the power consumption and jot it down. Now, leave the phone in standby of 5-10 minutes. Re-activate the phone and see the results. If your usage increases, clearly there is something wrong with the device’s standby mode.
2. Close Apps
The basic of prolonging the iPhone’s battery life is through closing all unneeded apps.
3. Disable push email and re-enable it
Sometimes, the email sent gets stuck and a glitch made it attempt to resend again and again. Disable the app entirely and re-enable it.
4. Turn off battery percentage
Turning off the indicator will give you the idea not to check on battery all the time.
5. Adjust brightness
In the night or when indoors, there is no need for extreme brightness. As such, reduce it all the way to the minimum is possible. Doing so will save power massively.
6. Turn off location services
This is another power sucker which should be disabled when not needed.
7. Background updates
Not only do apps suck away your data when updating, it also feed on so much power. Disable this and only do so when at home, with a wireless connection and the IPhone plugged in.
8. Hard reset
Make it a practice once in a while as some apps simply doesn’t know the meaning of close.
9. Utilize till depletion
This is to keep the battery healthy. About once a month, use the phone all the way till it is out of juice before charging.
10. Reset device
If all of the above fails, reset the device completely and restore it with the latest backup.
