Extend the battery life of your iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus with the following tweaks to optimize the device's power running iOS 8.
1. Identify Battery-Draining Apps
One handy feature on iOS now is the ability to easily identify which apps are consuming the most battery with the display of app battery usage while active.
Navigate to Settings > General > Usage > Battery and select Battery Usage. A list of apps and their energy consumption over the past 24 hours will be displayed, along with the option to view the last 7 days. Based on this data, consider disabling or uninstalling unnecessary apps that are draining your battery.
2. Charge Your Device While Downloading Apps.
Imagine restoring your device to its factory state without backing up data. Reinstalling apps one by one is time-consuming and drains battery significantly, especially during downloads and installations. Charging your device while downloading apps is advisable.
3. Disable Automatic App Updates.
Many apps don't require constant updates, yet automatic updates drain battery and may cause lag during the update process. Follow these steps to disable automatic app updates on iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.
Navigate to Settings -> iTunes & App Store -> Turn off Automatic Downloads for listed apps. It's also recommended to disable Use Cellular Data for app updates when using Wi-Fi.
4. Control Background App Refresh.
Background apps running without our knowledge can drain battery unnoticed. To manage these apps and save battery, follow these steps:
Navigate to Settings -> General -> Background App Refresh, then disable apps like Podcasts, Stocks, YouTube when not in use.
5. Disable Location Services
Location services consume considerable battery power similar to using 3G. To disable unnecessary location services or if you forget to turn them off:
Navigate to Settings -> Privacy -> Location Services where a list of apps with location access will be displayed. Choose Never, Always, or While Using for each app according to your preference.
You can completely disable Location Services but enable it again when using apps like Maps.
6. Turn Off Location Sharing Feature.
While a useful feature, location sharing can drain battery as it regularly sends your location to friends or family as requested. After sharing or when no longer needed, disable it as follows:
Settings -> Privacy -> Location Services -> Share My Location, or simply share your location once (or occasionally) to conserve battery.
7. Disable Location-Based Alerts
This feature provides notifications about nearby retail stores, banks, or shops directly on your lock screen. To disable them, follow these steps:
Navigate to Settings -> Privacy -> Location Services -> System Services, then switch it OFF.
8. Adjust Screen Brightness
It's obvious that brighter screens drain battery faster. Adjust brightness to a comfortable level for your eyes and to save battery. Additionally, reduce brightness slightly in the evening by pulling down the Control Center or going to Settings -> Display and Brightness to adjust. You can also enable Auto-Brightness for automatic adjustment.
9. Turn Off AirDrop
AirDrop is a utility for transferring photos, contacts, locations, data, etc. between nearby devices. However, AirDrop uses both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, draining battery quickly. Disable it when not in use by accessing the Control Center, tapping on AirDrop, and selecting Off.
10. Disable Bluetooth and WiFi When Not in Use.
As we all probably know, just like saving electricity at home, we should turn off Bluetooth and WiFi when not in use, and turn them back on when needed.
With two highly acclaimed tech devices, the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, now available in Vietnam, we greatly need tips to extend their battery life for better entertainment and work, especially when traveling.
