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.

🔍 How to Check Your iPhone Battery Health

Quickly see how your battery is doing:

Go to:
