In an age where our smartphones have become the center of our personal and professional lives, we always wish that the battery of phones lasts as long as possible.

While we are eagerly awaiting technological advances in the world of batteries and the invention of the battery that will last for many years, there are several tips and steps that iPhone users can follow to conserve the battery of their devices for as long as possible.

1- Charge smartly
You can take advantage of the features of the iOS operating system to preserve battery life, the most important of which is the "Optimized Battery Charging" feature, which is a smart feature designed to preserve the battery life of the iPhone by learning the habits and pattern of your charging of the phone during the day.

When activated, the system keeps the battery charged at 80% overnight, then completes the charge to 100% before your usual morning wake-up time, this method reduces the pressure on lithium-ion batteries, slowing the process of their natural deterioration over time.

To turn on this feature, go to Settings, then to Battery, then select Battery Health & Charging.

2- Know the sources of attrition
Wondering where your iPhone's battery leaks during the day? iOS allows you to track battery consumption according to the app that drains it, and you can access this information via "Settings" and then choose "Battery".

This feature allows you to identify applications or games that consume battery power constantly, so if there is a specific application or game that drains battery power excessively, you can reduce its use, use it only when the phone is connected to the charger, or even delete it and search for an alternative.

3- Optimize settings
Disabling some features within the phone's settings may improve overall battery life. While some may be useful, we don't use our devices in the same way. For example, one of the features that Apple suggests you disable, if battery life is a problem with your phone, is "Update apps in the background", which you will find in "Settings", and then choose "General".

This feature allows applications to run periodically in the background to upload data such as email, or upload other data such as photos and various media to the cloud storage service.

Also, notifications that light up your phone screen consume battery power, so you can customize your notification preferences through "Settings" and then choose "Notifications" to stop any notification that you deem unnecessary from any application on your phone.

For example, if social media apps are the main cause of your battery drain, you can reduce the frequency of their notifications or even stop them altogether to reduce battery consumption.

4- Reduce consumption
If you own an iPhone with an OLED screen, using Dark Mode may significantly reduce power consumption, because this type of screen displays pure black color by turning off pixels, which may save about 30% of battery life if the right conditions are available.

You can activate dark mode through "Settings", then choose "Display & Brightness" and choose Dark mode. You can also set specific times of the day to activate this mode, and it is better to choose to activate it during the night, in order to also keep your eyes, especially if you are browsing the phone before sleeping in a dark room.

You can also reduce consumption by activating "Low Power Mode", and you can access it via "Settings" and then "Battery", as this mode reduces the phone's activity in the background, reduces the brightness of the screen, and limits animations within the operating system, in order to keep the battery charged for as long as possible.
