It should not be a surprise to any iPhone user that the new iOS 7 will destroy our battery life with all the new effects that Apple implemented. Aside from the advantages that Apple has given us with this update, the battery life is well below par, but luckily for you, there are plenty of techies out there that have dedicated their time to helping your iPhone battery fight iOS 7.
So, what is making your battery die in the middle of the day? It’s all the new “features” that are automatically turned on once your device has been updated with the new version of iOS. Now, if your patience is running low and you don’t like carrying around an iPhone charger with you all day, there are 11 ways to extend your Apple device’s battery life.
Turn Off That Fake 3D Effect
There are so many reasons why you should turn this effect off on your device, the first one being that it is actually starting to make people feel nauseous. The other reasons revolve around extending your battery life. Now, to turn off this effect, take the following steps:
- Settings
- General
- Accessibility
- Reduce Motion — Turn ON
Turn Off AirDrop & Bluetooth
I bet a majority of the people who have an Apple device with iOS 7 don’t even know what AirDrop is. Well, it’s basically like iCloud and it lets you share files with people who are in your area. If you’re not going to use AirDrop or the Bluetooth already installed, then turn them off because they will eat away at your battery life. In order to accomplish turning off these battery eaters just,
- Swipe up the control center
- Hit the toggle (the little switch looking thing)
Turn Off Push Notifications
Turning off your push notifications – you know, those notifications that collect on the screen when your phone is locked – is one of the best ways to extend your battery life. When your push notifications are active, your apps are also running in the background. So, to turn off all of your push notifications,
- Settings
- Notification Center
- Include
- Switch them all off
After all, is it really that much more difficult to go into your individual apps and check friend requests and game scores the “old fashioned” way? No, it’s not.
The important thing to also remember when it comes to new Apple devices, or any devices today for that matter, a majority of them run on a lithium ion battery, which means you should not let it die all the way. Letting your device keep a little bit of juice rather than letting it completely die is actually going to keep it around longer.
