The latest Apple iOS 7.1 is known for many great things but not battery life. Apple iPhone and iPad users have been complaining that the iOS 7.1 actually drains more power than before. While there is no fix coming to the iOS, users can refer to our remedy to enhance the battery life on the iOS 7.1.
1. Test Your Battery
Go to Settings > General > Usage. There, record the figures on standby time and usage time. Put the device into sleep for at least 5 minutes before waking it up. The standby time should be higher than before while the usage time should have decreased. If not, there is a problem with your device going to sleep.
2. Running Apps
Do you know that closing all apps actually consumes more power? The iOS 7.1 is built to freeze any other running apps while focusing solely on a single app. It actually consumers more power to remove the running applications.
3. Disable Or Hard Reset Push Email
At times, an email sent to your device failed to register with the app managing it. Thus, it loops around the iOS 7.1, virtually draining the battery at a consistent rate.
4. Turn Off Battery Percentage
The more that is displayed on the screen, the more power it consumers. Battery percentage is something convenient but unneeded. As such, remove it to save more juice.
5. Brightness
Finally is the biggest battery drainer of them all. Whenever you are indoors or at night, keep the brightness at its lowest to drastically increase battery life.
