Video: Actually useful iPhone battery tips

There are many, many ways to optimize an iPhone’s battery usage, but aren’t you sick and tired of superficial tips suggesting you turn off your iPhone’s cellular connection or bring its display brightness all the way down?

You want decent battery life and a functional device. Crippling your iPhone’s functionality severely to extend battery life by a few minutes doesn’t seem like a smart idea. That was our thinking, too!

So we went ahead and asked our video guy Michale Billig (@michael_billig) to put together a video tutorial around actually useful iPhone battery tips and tricks, curated by iDownloadBlog editors. Watch Michael’s video walkthrough carefully to determine for yourself whether each one of them works for you.

Perhaps you’re a person with vision issues who likes to not fiddle with display settings and prefers default settings that keep the screen readable and legible. If so, you’ll want to skip the tip advising you to use Dark Mode at all times.

You should make such a determination for each tip because not everyone’s situation is the same and people tend to use their iPhones in different ways.

Without further ado, grab your iPhone and follow along with our eight-minute video at the top of the post. By the time you finish watching, you’ll know how to configure your iPhone to extend its battery life but without turning off crucial features.
