Battery bad after installing iOS 16.6? Try these 7 tips

Some iPhone users are experiencing battery issues after the iOS 16.6 update.
Here we go again with yet another iOS 16 update and more iPhone owners complaining of battery issues. 
The iOS 16.6 update (there’s also an iOS 15.7.8 for iPhones running the older version, so make sure if you’re running an older device to check that out) contained a bunch of security fixes for vulnerabilities that put your data at risk.

But what should you do if you’re finding that it is degrading your battery life?


I’ve been keeping an eye on social media and Apple’s support forums, and opinions are, as always, mixed. Some say this update is a big improvement and that it fixes the overheating issue found in iOS 16.5 (I would say that I’ve definitely seen an improvement here). 
Others say it’s abysmal, claiming not only that they are getting less battery runtime, but also that their battery health plummeted. If you’re curious — or concerned — about battery health, I suggest reading about what Apple doesn’t want you to know about your iPhone’s battery.

If you’re experiencing better battery life, good for you. You can stop reading here and get on with your day. However, if you are one of those people having battery issues, I have some tips and tricks to help you make it through the day.
7 tips if you’re having battery issues 1. Be patientIt’s normal to experience a drop — even quite a significant drop — in battery life following the installation of an iOS update.
Also: iOS 17 may introduce a useful iPhone smart display feature — and I have questions iPhones

 need to carry out a number of tasks in the background in the aftermath of an update. This consumes more battery power than usual, and the battery life will return to normal once all these extra tasks have been completed. 
Maybe try a reboot and see if that helps. It can’t harm!

2. Try a few tweaks

A few things I’ve seen help with battery life on iOS 16 releases:
Turn down screen brightness.Turn off Wi-Fi assist, a feature that uses cellular data when your Wi-Fi connection is weak or slow — you can disable it by going Settings > Cellular, and scroll down to the bottom to turn off Wi-Fi Assist.Reset network settings, not sure how or why this helps, but several people have reported back that it improved battery life dramatically — got Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone and then tap on Reset and then Reset Network Settings.Use Dark Mode — it really does make a huge difference.

3. Update your apps
The problem might not be an iOS issue but more a problem with apps that haven’t been updated, especially when new versions of iOS have been released. That means it’s a good idea to make sure all your apps are updated before you spend a lot of time trying to diagnose what’s going on.

Also: My iPhone’s battery doesn’t stay at 100% for as long as it used to. Is there a problem?
Fire up the App Store app and tap your profile icon in the corner, then scroll down to Available Updates to look for updates (I like to pull down this screen to refresh it, so I see all the latest updates).
4. Find out what’s eating your batteryIf none of the previous steps helped, what else could it be? It could be a rogue app that’s draining the battery. And fortunately, iOS offers you the tools you need to track down misbehaving apps.

Head over to Settings > Battery, and here you will see a lot of data, including Battery Usage By App. Tapping on it also allows you to switch to Activity By App, which shows a breakdown of how much power the app is using while on the screen and how much it is using when in the background.
You can use this information to diagnose battery drain issues. Here are some other things you can use this information for:


An app going berserk in the background will show lots of activity in the background compared with screen activity (try disabling background activity for that app and see if that helps).You can spot charging problems (Was the battery actually charging when you thought it was?).You can also spot poor battery performance (look for battery charge falling rapidly).iOS 13 battery drainAnalyzing battery drain in iOS.Adrian Kingsley-Hughes/ZDNET5. Check if your battery needs replacingIs your iPhone getting on a bit? 


If it’s four years or older, then the battery might be getting old and needs replacing. 
Tap on Settings and head to Battery > Battery Health & Charging and check what the Maximum Capacity of the battery is listed as. If this is below 80% then this indicates a worn battery and that it’s time for a replacement.
6.What about overheating?Don’t get into a competition to see how hot you can get your iPhone. That’s a path that leads to hardware damage. A stressed, hot battery is an unhappy battery, and that can lead to premature wear and performance issues.
Also: Using your iPhone in high temperatures can cause permanent damage.
So, if it’s overheating, remove it from a hot window and don’t keep it in a hot car. I also recommend temporarily taking it out of any case it’s in.


7. Wait for the next iOS updateBugs do slip through the net, and sometimes all you can do is wait for Apple to fix the problem and roll out a new update.
Apple is getting much better about fixing issues like this, although you do have to wait for the fix and take a gamble that the new update does indeed fix the problem and not cause more chaos.

Also: iPhone or Android slow or buggy?
That said, given that pretty much every update Apple rolls out nowadays is packed with iOS security fixes, I recommend installing updates because not doing this can leave youriPhone vulnerable to attack.

Does the iPhone Have a Battery Aging Problem?

As another round of new iPhones nears, it’s time to take a closer look at how Apple’s batteries have withstood the test of time.As happens nearly every year, September seems poised to bring about Apple’s latest batch of iPhones.The expansion of the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max’s “Dynamic Island” cutout seems like a near lock for the entire iPhone 15 line, as does the long-anticipated switch from Lightning to USB-C for wired charging. 


When trying to figure out if Apple’s latest and greatest is worth the upgrade, an easy check is to see if you need a new battery. As we learned not too long ago, Apple will slow down the performance of iPhones with weaker battery health in order to preserve battery life. The 2017 “batterygate” scandal led to the company paying a $113 million settlement back in 2020 after an investigation was launched by 34 states and Washington, DC. 


This month, a different $500 million settlement from a class action lawsuit stemming from the same issue was cleared by a judge. 
Assuming you don’t pay for the AppleCare Plus insurance program, replacing a battery on most recent iPhones dating back to 2017’s iPhone X, will run $89 from Apple (not including tax or shipping if you’re sending your phone in). 


Those who pay for AppleCare Plus, which ranges from $149 for two years of coverage on a third-generation iPhone SE all the way up to $269 for two years of coverage on an iPhone 14 Pro or Pro Max, can get a battery replacement from Apple for no cost if their battery’s maximum capacity falls below 80%. 
Given the myriad of trade-in deals offered by Apple and wireless carriers, it may make sense to roll that money into what you’d spend on a new phone. Others, however, may be happy just replacing the battery and holding on for another year or two. Even if you don’t plan to upgrade this cycle, it is interesting to see how well recent iPhone batteries have lasted.

What is ‘battery health’ and a ‘maximum capacity’?

iphone batteryOpening up and looking at the battery of an iPhone 6.Andrew Lanxon/CNETLithium-ion batteries, like the ones found in most modern electronics, are finite resources that naturally degrade over time. As Apple describes on its website, these batteries work on what is known as “charge cycles” with one “cycle” taking place when you’ve discharged “an amount that equals 100% of your battery’s capacity.” 
This doesn’t mean going from 100% to empty either. As Apple notes, “you might use 75% of your battery’s capacity one day, then recharge it fully overnight. If you use 25% the next day, you will have discharged a total of 100%, and the two days will add up to one charge cycle.”


As you use up cycles by using your phone, the amount it has diminishes. On a different support page, Apple says that the iPhone is designed to hold “up to 80% of its original capacity at 500 complete charge cycles when operating under normal conditions .” 
While iOS doesn’t show how many charge cycles you’ve used, its “Maximum Capacity” section gives a peak into this metric.
Apple directed CNET to its various battery support pages when contacted for comment. 


How you can check your battery health

iOS setting to check your iPhone battery’s healthCheck what it says under Peak Performance Capability to learn if you need to replace your battery.Screenshots by Nelson Aguilar/CNETApple gives steps for checking your battery health, and on most iPhones it can be done by going into Settings, then Battery and finally, Battery Health (or Battery Health & Charging). A “Maximum Capacity” section shows how much of your battery’s original capacity remains relative to when it was new. 


If your battery is still operating normally, you’ll see that it has “peak performance capability” with small text underneath confirming that it’s “normal.” 
If you’ve had a battery-related unexpected shutdown, you still may see peak performance but also a note that says Apple is using “performance management” to avoid future shutdowns. 


If your battery isn’t healthy, you may see a message alerting you that a replacement is needed if you want to get back to full performance or battery life. If your phone is otherwise fine for your needs, that $89 upgrade could be enough to get you back to running at full strength for a few more years. 


What we learned: Your mileage will varyiphone-13-versus-iphone-12-notch-comparison-mini-and-13-left-to-right-cnet-2021-01iPhone battery life varies, though those with an iPhone 12 seemed to be fairing best. Patrick Holland/CNETWhile by no means a scientific test, I polled 20 CNET staffers on Aug. 2 about their iPhones, looking at which model they used, when they purchased it and what its battery health was. 
Nine CNET staffers were rocking the iPhone 12 line (either an iPhone 12, 12 Pro or 12 Pro Max ), with most having purchased their  phones at least 30 months ago. Battery max capacity across the line was surprisingly consistent: Even the oldest devices still were displaying a maximum battery capacity of at least 85%.

Two staffers were using iPhone 13 Pros, and their experiences couldn’t be more different. CNET computer expert Lori Grunin has had her iPhone for nearly 20 months and her battery’s maximum capacity was an impressive 95%. Commerce editor Russell Holly was not as lucky , with his iPhone 13 Pro showing just 73% max capacity nearly two years after purchasing it. 


Results were similarly mixed for the nine CNET users who have upgraded their devices to the iPhone 14 line. Some, like CNET’s iPhone reviewer Patrick Holland, still have 100% max capacity on his iPhone 14 Pro Max nearly 11 months later. My own iPhone 14 Pro Max, meanwhile, shows a battery max capacity of 88% over roughly the same period. 


I don’t seem to be alone, either, as Wall Street Journal reporter Joanna Stern tweeted out on Aug. 11 that her iPhone 14 Pro battery was at a similar level. Comments to the tweet showed some other iPhone 14 users getting similar results. 

My DIY iPhone Battery Replacement Was Easy. Here’s What I Did.

You can swap your iPhone’s old battery for a new one yourself.
Even if you don’t use Apple’s own do-it-yourself repair program, you can still replace your iPhone’s battery yourself. With third-party components and various tools available to buy, you can crack open your iPhone and replace your battery, or your screen, often for less money than having a company do it for you. 
This story is part of Focal Point iPhone 2023, CNET’s collection of news, tips and advice around Apple’s most popular product.

I did exactly that, replacing the old battery of a used iPhone 6 to give it a new lease on life. I was pleased to find the phone on eBay for only £75 (about $100 or AU$140). That’s a huge saving over a new iPhone 14 Pro, but the battery had aged to the point where the software had to artificially throttle the performance to stop it from shutting down. Instead of casting off the phone and getting buyer’s remorse, I decided to buy a replacement battery and tools from iFixit and have a go at replacing the battery myself.
It took a little over an hour, but I was able to safely swap out the battery and get the iPhone 6 running perfectly again. I’m not giving step-by-step instructions here — head to iFixit and grab a kit if that’s what you’re after — but I do want to describe my experience, including how easy the process was, and hopefully answer some of the questions you may have if you also need a new battery.


If you have a more recent model (an iPhone 12 or newer), then make sure to first check Apple’s new repair options and see if you’d be able to put in a replacement with parts directly from the company. Note that any maintenance you do on your own devices is entirely at your own risk.
1. Why would you need to replace an iPhone battery?

Batteries age over time, and considering that the iPhone 6 was released over seven years ago, it’s no surprise that the one I bought wasn’t running in prime condition. One time, the phone unexpectedly restarted while in use, and it flashed a warning that read, “This iPhone has experienced an unexpected shutdown because the battery was unable to deliver the necessary peak power. Performance management has been applied to help prevent this from happening again.” Even the phone itself knew it had a bum battery.


In short, a phone’s performance can be throttled if it can no longer cope with power demands. There is the option to turn throttling off, but this will result in more frequent crashes. Neither situation is ideal, so a battery replacement seemed like a smart way forward for me, since it wasn’t my main phone and I was willing to take the risks. iphone-battery-replace-5Opening up my iPhone 6.2.How much does a replacement iPhone battery cost?The problem with my situation specifically was that I bought the phone for so little in the first place that spending more money on a battery replacement service negated some of those initial savings.

Apple’s official replacement service costs £49 ($49), which is more than half what I paid for the iPhone 6 I bought. As I was in the middle of a coronavirus lockdown when I attempted this, I wasn’t able to get to an Apple store to take it in, and sending it in through the mail would bring the total cost to around £56 (about $75 or AU$105).
iFixit, however, sells a DIY replacement pack for £35 (including postage to my home in Scotland). It costs $30 in the US, and with shipping costs that comes to about $38. It’s not a huge saving over Apple’s official replacement, but every little bit helps.

 3. What comes in the iFixit battery fix kit?

iFixit’s kit comes with a third-party replacement battery that is not from Apple, since Apple does not sell its parts separately for phones older than the iPhone 12. It also has all the tools needed to open the phone and remove the old battery. only additional thing I needed was a hair dryer to heat up and remove the glue.

4. Does replacing a battery void your phone warranty? 

Opening up an iPhone will void the warranty, but if your battery is old enough to need replacing, odds are you’re already out of the 12-month warranty period. 
iphone-battery-replace-2Prying the old battery out was tricky, and I wasn’t always sure I was doing it safely.


5.Is it safe to replace your iPhone battery yourself? 

This one isn’t so straightforward to answer. iFixit’s guide gives very detailed instructions on the steps involved, but there were a couple of points that made me nervous. One step involved heating up the back of the phone with a hair dryer in order to loosen the glue holding the old battery in place. 
Specifically, it said to heat it to “slightly too warm to touch,” which I found a little vague. Especially since that section also warned that “overheating the

 iPhone may ignite the battery.” would I see if it was overheating? I couldn’t find this information, and as such wasn’t sure how close to overheating it I might be.


Shortly after, while trying to pry out the old battery, I accidentally ripped into what looked like the black wrapping around that battery. I was pretty sure that the battery itself wasn’t punctured — there was no smoke or hissing — but I ‘d have felt a lot more comfortable if I had “emergency” instructions on hand about what to do if the battery did ignite. 


6. Can I replace my iPhone battery myself?

Up to a point I found I could, yes, and I’m not normally “handy” in a DIY sense. iFixit’s instructions were easy to follow, and there were only seven internal screws to remove, which were easy to replace. 

The iPhone 6, old battery removed and all traces of the glue cleaned off.
What I found a little confusing was that iFixit’s instructions on its web page end at the point where you remove the old battery. The only instruction in the conclusion was to follow the previous steps in reverse order. Admittedly, that wasn’t particularly difficult to do, but I would have appreciated more guidance at that point. 


Another issue I ran into was that, during the removal of the screen, I cracked the screen protector that was in place. I noticed the hairline cracks and was worried that I’d damaged the display itself, but thankfully that was unharmed.
iphone-battery-replace-7With its new battery, this iPhone 6 should be running at optimal level again.
7.Is it worth replacing an iPhone battery?

It really depends on the age and value of your phone. If, like me, you bought a cheap used iPhone and just want to get it back up to speed, then it could be a great way to breathe new life into old tech without spending a fortune. Bear in mind, though, that this wasn’t going to be my main phone, nor did I buy it with my own money. For me, the risk was low and had I done it wrong and ruined the phone, it You’ll need to consider whether you really can manage without it, and your tolerance for other risks.


If you’re using a more recent device, like an iPhone 13, for example, I’d just take it directly to Apple. damaging a more valuable phone.

why your phone is overheating – the most common causes

Several factors can cause your phone to overheat, including high external temperature and battery problems. When a phone overheats, it slows down, and in some instances, it may shut down until it’s back to normal temperature. your phone to overheat.

What Causes Your Phone To OverHeat?

A phone’s internal temperature is based on the temperature of its environment. Battery drains, slow performance and even a total shutdown can occur if the phone gets excessively hot. If it is forced to shut down due to overheating, it will not restart. other hand, it is normal for a phone to feel warmer after playing a game for 10-15 minutes.

Therefore, warm should not be interpreted as hot. But if it is hot to touch, there is an underlying cause that should not be ignored. Here are some reasons that may be causing your device to overheat.

Faulty Apps

Faulty apps are commonly responsible for overheating your phone. For example, sometimes, a new app that is not compatible with your phone causes it to overheat. In other cases, the updated version of an app may be responsible for overheating your device. app updates are handy, sometimes they can be problematic.

Solution

When an app is a culprit behind overheating, there are two things you that can do to resolve the issue:

Uninstall the app that is causing the problem

Check for an update

Once you have uninstalled the app, restart your phone and see if it overheats again.

Prolonged Camera Usage

Prolonged periods of using a phone’s video camera can cause it to overheat.

Resolution and frame rate

The brightness of the screen

Extended periods of camera usage

Make sure your phone camera is only used when required and keep an eye on the resolution and screen brightness to prevent this issue.

Exposure To Direct Heat

Sometimes the environmental factors are the culprits behind the overheating. When a phone is left in the direct sunlight for too long it will overheat. A phone that is mounted on a car’s dashboard on a sunny day will also overheat.

It is therefore advisable to keep your phone away from direct sunlight or other sources of heat. Try to use the phone in the shade when you are required to use it outside.

Material Of The Phone Case

why your phone is overheatingIf you always keep your phone in a case then this may be one of the reasons behind overheating. .

During high-performance tasks, if you notice the temperature of your phone rising, remove the phone case. Your device needs to radiate the heat away and a case made of insulating material prevents that.

Frequency Of Usage

The frequency with which you use your phone may also be responsible for overheating it.When you are constantly using your phone, the battery is working overtime.This raises the temperature of the device.

Additionally, if you leave your phone on charging even when it’s fully charged, it could also be problematic.

Faulty Components

Sometimes defective components such as the battery, processor, and charging port can cause a phone to overheat. If the heat is coming from the back of the phone, you most likely have issues with the battery.

On the other hand, a faulty charging port or cable causes the bottom of the phone to become excessively warm. Try replacing the cable. If the issue is still not fixed, you will have to get your charging port repaired.

Overcharging Your Phone

Overcharging can lead to overheating, especially when the battery is old. If you have an older device, avoid charging the battery above 90%. This will keep the battery healthy.

If this happens, you have the following options:

Replace the charger and the cable

Replace the battery if possible

If you have tried replacing the cable and adapter and the problem is still there, take your phone to an expert and get it repaired.

Using Animated Wallpapers

If you use animated wallpapers and widgets or your screen brightness is always full, you are putting excessive load on your phone’s processor.

It is, therefore, wise to let your phone adjust its brightness automatically to match the environment in which it is being used. Using a static background will lighten the load on the processor and help in keeping the temperature normal.

Overuse Of Wi-Fi And Bluetooth

Overuse of services such as Wi-Fi, mobile internet, and other online services can overheat your phone. Constantly keeping the Bluetooth on can also overheat your phone. Apps that run in the background are continuou

Slowly using resources such as processors, Wi-Fi, or mobile data.

This can cause your phone to overheat. It is advisable to check the apps that are draining the battery. Toggle unrestricted data usage to disable internet access.

Streaming Videos

Another practice that can overwork your phone’s processor is watching YouTube or Netflix for several hours.When you stream content your phone has to load video data.This means the display will be kept active for prolonged periods.Thus causing your phone to heat up.

Tips to Cool Your Phone Down

If your smartphone slows down due to overheating, here is what you need to do:

Start by removing the phone’s case.

Disable all the connectivity by switching the airplane mode on.

Move your phone out of the direct sunlight.

Decrease the screen brightness.

Direct a fan at your phone.

Tips To Prevent Phone Overheating

Once your phone is back in working order, you need to know how to prevent the problem from occurring in the future.To stop your phone from overheating again, follow the tips mentioned below:

Switch to battery saver mode.

Remove junk files and malware by cleaning up your phone.

Limit the use of the camera.

Why is my phone’s battery draining so fast?

If your phone’s battery is draining faster than usual, it either means you’re using a lot of energy or your phone is not using energy efficiently.This could mean you’re overworking your phone by running too many applications, or something is physically wrong with the phone battery itself.


How do phone batteries work?


When you plug in your phone, electrons enter your phone battery from the power source, according to the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI). These electrons attract lithium ions. Think of them as really tiny balls of lightweight metal. to the anode.When the phone is disconnected from the power source, the lithium ions switch directions and travel from anode to cathode. Once all of the lithium ions end up in the cathode, the battery will “die” because it’s no longer producing a circuit.


Reasons why your phone is draining so fast


If your phone is using a lot of energy, or if it’s not using energy efficiently, the battery will drain faster. Here are some of the main factors that can cause it to drain fast.
Your screen is too brightThe brighter your screen, the more energy you’re using, according to a study from Purdue University.
Most phones have a feature that automatically adjusts your screen’s brightness to complement the lighting of your surroundings.
You don’t necessarily have to worry about reducing brightness while using your phone but think about reducing brightness when you’re not using it. One way to do this is to make the screen idle time as short as possible, which automatically shuts the screen off when you’re not actively using it.


Does dark mode use less battery?

Yes, using dark mode is generally more energy efficient. Dark mode is a feature some phones have where you can make the background of your interface darker colors. The study from Purdue University found that switching to dark mode when your screen is at 100% brightness Can save up to almost 50% battery power.
You’re using data instead of Wi-FiTypically, Wi-Fi connections use less battery power than data connections, states The New York Times. Because constantly searching and switching connections between multiple towers typically uses more battery power. A weak Wi-Fi connection, however, could drain faster than it would if you had a strong connection, as it strains to remain connected to a weak signal.A weak Wi-Fi connection, however, could drain faster than it would if you had a strong connection, as it strains to remain connected to a weak signal .
Some phone settings allow apps to operate in the background, says The New York Times, so long as you’re connected to Wi-Fi or data, which would also contribute to a quicker draining battery.
You have poor receptionIt takes energy for your phone to search for a signal, according to The New York Times, and it’s not necessarily going to stop searching on its own. Many underground, remote, and/or mountainous areas are prone to having poor reception, and it’s best to turn off your cellphone’s data while traveling through these areas to preserve battery life.
The phone is old or outdatedModern smartphones that came out after 2017 have OLED (organic light-emitting diode) screens, which don’t have backlights like LCD (liquid crystal display) screens do.
Upgrading your phone to a modern model may be the simplest way to get the most battery-friendly features available.


Your phone is exposed to extreme temperaturesExtreme heat and cold can negatively affect how your battery operates, according to The New York Times. Specifically, it often makes it harder for the battery to hold a charge. Be mindful of keeping your phone warm when it’s below freezing and cool when it’s hot out.
You charged your phone too longReducing the amount of times you charge your phone to 100% can help prolong the life of your battery to a certain extent, says The New York Times.
And just as you might avoid overcharging, so do you want to stay away from letting your phone run completely low. Consumer Reports pegs 80% as the ideal charging limit for your battery. But it’s important to note that charging your battery, period, will cause it to degrade over time.
Also important is where you charge your phone. As mentioned above, overheating can cause affect battery health and charging your phone under your pillow runs the risk of doing just that, says PCMag.


Always check for OS system updatesSystem updates can help your phone use battery energy more efficiently in many ways according to PCMag. For example, some modern operating systems have features that allow your phone to better limit background usage of programs, other updates let your phone control how much battery it uses while charging.


How long do phone batteries last?

Modern lithium-ion phone batteries usually operate at full capacity for at least a year and up to five years (or between 500–1000 charge cycles), according to TechAdvisor. After that, their capacity will be reduced, meaning the older batteries won’t hold a charge as well or as long.
Daily charging and keeping the phone away from extreme temperatures (both hot and cold) will help prolong the life of the battery.

3 tips to make your phone’s battery last longer

When you start to see your battery draining as soon as you power it on, there may be some simple things you can do to extend the battery’s life. Here are a few ways to squeeze out a bit more time from your phone battery.
1. Keep away from extreme temperaturesExtreme temperatures are among the fastest ways to ruin your phone’s battery life. Keeping your phone at room temperature is ideal and be mindful of how hot your phone gets when it’s being charged.
2. Keep the battery at roughly 80%The longer you can keep your phone adequately charged between at 80%, the better.
Keeping it charged – instead of turning it off and on when you have a low battery –will help it better retain its power over the long run.
3. Use only the apps you needDelete apps you don’t use to declutter your phone, turn the brightness down when you can and restrict background usage of nonessential apps.
Many modern phones now include a “battery-saving” feature, which will automatically adjust elements of brightness and app usage to maximize your battery’s efficiency.

How to Keep Your Phone Battery Healthy

Does your Android or iPhone’s battery seem to hold less of a charge over time? Like all rechargeable batteries, Li-ion batteries (which are in most phones) become less effective as they age. Even though these batteries aren’t made to last forever , having a healthy battery and charging habits can extend the life of your battery

We’ll show you easy ways to maximize your smartphone battery’s lifespan by changing your charging habits.


1.Don’t wait until the battery is empty to recharge.
Charge your phone throughout the day. Your phone’s battery has a fixed amount of charging cycles (the number of times you charge the battery from 0% to 100%). For example, if your battery has a lifespan of 400 charging cycles, letting the battery drain every day means your battery will only last 400 days.[1] If you top off the battery before it drains completely, it reduces the number of overall charging cycles, which makes your battery last longer.Keeping a battery at full charge or always draining it to 0 can damage it and reduce its capacity. Try to keep your battery midway charged when you can and only charge to 100% when you need the extra time.


2.Avoid extreme temperatures.
Exposure to very high or low temperatures drains the battery quickly. Batteries are made to work best at room temperature, which is about 68 °F (20 °C).[2] Your battery, especially when fully charged, will drain much faster in extreme temperatures.This can cause damage to the battery over time.[3]Avoid using your phone at all if the temperature is below freezing 32 °F (0 °C).If you live in a very cold region and spend a lot of time outdoors, invest in an insulated phone case.Only charge your battery at temperatures between 41 °F (5 °C) and 95 °F (35 °C).If the phone or charger feels hot to the touch during a charging session, unplug the phone from the charger as soon as possible to avoid damaging the battery.


3.Don’t always charge your battery to 100%.When you’re always charging to 100%, the frequent high voltage can cause stress to the battery. Fully charging your battery won’t destroy it, you can add some time to the battery’s lifespan by only charging to 80% when possible.


4.Only use ultra-fast charging when necessary.

Fast charging is convenient, but don’t use it every time you charge your phone. Fast charging puts more stress on the battery than necessary, so battery performance can suffer over time.[4] Opt for a standard “slow” charge more often than not to preserve battery longevity.


5. Use your phone sparingly while it’s charging.


To avoid parasitic load, don’t play games or stream videos while charging your phone. Parasitic load is what happens while a battery is being drained during charging.[5] Parasitic load adds higher voltage stress to the battery, increases heat, and can cause parts of the battery to continually cycle and deteriorate faster than the rest of the cell. While you can take calls or browse the web during a charging session, avoid heavy tasks.


6.Use power-saving modes to increase time between charges.


When your battery is slow, turn on your phone’s low-power or battery-saving mode. Both Androids and iPhones have special battery-conservation modes that turn off background apps, decrease processing power, dim the screen, and disable other services that can drain your battery quickly.To turn on your iPhone’s Low Power Mode, open the Control Center and tap the battery icon.If you have a Samsung Galaxy, open Settings and go to Battery and device care > Battery > Power saving. Tap the switch to turn on Power Saving Mode.[6]For other Androids, go to Settings > Battery > Battery Saver and tap Turn on now.[7]


7.Stick to the power adapter that came with your phone.


Third-party phone chargers may have different voltage ratings than what’s recommended by your phone manufacturer. Using a charger that supplies your phone with an inconsistent or too-high voltage level can severely impact your battery, and possibly even the rest of your phone.


8.Partially charge the battery before long-term storage.

If you won’t be using your phone for a while, charge it to 50% first. Don’t charge it to 100%, as that can cause the Mobile Batteries   to lose some of its capacity over time.[8] Charging the battery halfway first will help prevent the battery from draining so much that it can’t be recovered after a long period of no usage.

iOS 16.2 launches next week—here’s all the new features for your iPhone

 iOS 16.2, supposed to be the last major update to this year’s iPhone operating system, is now expected to be released next week. iOS 16.1 brought some big changes to the iPhone when Apple released the software update. But a new iOS 16 update is already underway, and it will bring a new app to the iPhone, along with other enhancements.

The arrival of the new Freeform app ushers in the changes in iOS 16.2, which also includes some other low-level enhancements to other apps and features. Here’s what we know so far about what’s new for iPhone in iOS 16.2.

iOS 16.2: Sing with Apple Music

Apple Music Sing, a new built-in karaoke mode for Apple Music users, is currently expected to launch later this month. It may arrive with the iOS 16.2 update. While you won’t get this karaoke mode for every song in Apple’s library of more than 100 million songs, it promises to be a lot of fun with eligible tracks.

iOS 16.2 Advanced Data Protection

Advanced Data Protection has already started rolling out through the Apple Beta Software Program, but is now expected to arrive with iOS 16.2 or early next year. This security feature brings end-to-end encryption to Apple’s iCloud storage service, which is a huge win for iPhone users. While it doesn’t encrypt mail, contacts, or calendar data, it’s an extra level of data security for many of your most sensitive information.

iOS 16.2: Always-on display improvements

iOS 16 adds always-on displays to the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max, bringing it in line with its Android rivals. This allows users to check the time, sports scores, calendar notifications, and more without unlocking the phone. Now, iOS 16.2 promises to let you disable wallpapers and/or notifications on the always-on display. While this might not be a huge feature for everyone, it clears up the clutter in an always-on display and gives you only what you need and nothing more.

iOS 16.2: Regional weather app Apple News story

If you open the iOS Weather app and the current situation is relevant to an ongoing news report, an Apple News widget will pop up, allowing you to read more about what’s happening in the News app.

iOS 16.2: iPhone 14 Pro Dynamic Island Upgrade

iOS 16.2 has a new Dynamic Island update that now keeps the Wi-Fi icon and signal bar visible while playing music on the iPhone 14 Pro. Earlier, if a user was listening to music on an iPhone 14 Pro, Dynamic Island would display the “now playing” track along with a battery icon and a signal icon or Wi-Fi. With this update, the width of the island will shrink, and all three icons will now be visible when playing music. It will also have a smooth animation setting it into place.

iOS 16.2: Expanded ProMotion support

iPhones with 120Hz displays — the various iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro models — get a performance boost. Apple’s release notes say that animated layout changes now occur at 120Hz on ProMotion displays.

iOS 16.2: New Home app architecture

Home gets a lot of attention in iOS 16, starting with a new design that makes it easier to see and control smart home accessories. The iOS 16.1 update brings support for Matter, an interoperability protocol backed by Google, Amazon, and Apple that helps disparate devices work together.

These changes continue in iOS 16.2, which will introduce a new architecture for the Home app. Apple says the change will lead to faster and more reliable performance, but we’ll have to see it in action before we can understand what it means for day-to-day use.

iOS 16.2: Unexpected emergency SOS call reported

iOS 16.2 Beta 1 apparently added a way to report an unintentional call if you accidentally triggered your iPhone’s emergency SOS call feature. One iOS 16.2 user took to Twitter to say that such a feature appeared when they inadvertently initiated an emergency call on their iPhone.

iOS 16.2: Custom Accessibility Mode

To ensure that anyone can use an iPhone, Apple is developing a new custom accessibility mode that can greatly simplify iOS layouts.

Enabling this mode will replace the default “Springboard” iOS home screen layout with a simpler home screen layout consisting of a large number of icons. Unlocking the phone can also be set to require a long-press input, with a prominent back button at the bottom of the screen no matter where you are on the phone. There are also options to enlarge on-screen text, disable the volume buttons, and change individual apps and the iOS Emergency SOS service.
