The average battery life of an Apple product, whether it be an iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, or any of the company’s other offerings, is rather impressive. Apple, on the other hand, has been accused in the past of deliberately slowing down iPhone models that had batteries that were getting old, and the company has recently settled the BatteryGate case for $113 million.
Although Apple maintains that this was done to preserve the health of the battery over time, the company has now given users the ability to adjust their battery life and performance, in addition to providing insights and recommendations regarding the health of their batteries.
Apple recommends a number of general practices, some of which include keeping software up to date, avoiding environments with high ambient temperatures, removing certain cases from devices while they are charging, and storing devices in a partially charged state while storing them for extended periods of time.
On its website, Apple provides a page that walks users through the steps necessary to get the longest possible battery life out of their iPhones. The first thing you need to do is make sure the program is always up to date.
Your iPhone Battery should be updated.
- Go to Settings on your iPhone.
