iPhone Battery Maintenance Tips: Keep Your Device Alive Longer
Is your iPhone battery draining faster than it used to? You’re not alone — battery degradation is normal over time, but you can absolutely slow it down. Whether you’re using an iPhone 11 or a newer model, these simple habits and service options can help you keep your iPhone running longer and stronger.
⚡ Practical Ways to Extend Your iPhone’s Battery Life
No need to become a tech expert — just a few easy tweaks can make a big difference:
- 🔋 Avoid fully charging from 0% to 100%. Instead, try to stay between 20% and 80% for day-to-day charging.
- 🌡️ Avoid heat — don’t leave your iPhone in the car or under the sun. Heat kills battery health.
- 📵 Turn off location services and background app refresh when not needed.
- 📡 Limit 5G usage in areas with weak signal — it consumes more power trying to connect.
