Update iOS

Turn on Auto-Brightness

Increased screen brightness takes up a lot of battery power. This is because the extra light required to illuminate your screen requires a lot of energy, draining your battery faster. Screens generally require less light in the darkness and more light when it’s bright outside. And Apple also recommends using the auto-brightness feature, which dims the screen indoors and brightens it outdoors.

To adjust to external brightness levels automatically on iPhone 14

  • go to Settings followed by General then Accessibility
  • click Display Accommodations and toggle the Auto-Brightness switch to ON (green).

Enable Low Power Mode

This another effective way helps to save your iPhone 14’s battery. Enable low power mode reduces display brightness, optimizes device performance, and minimizes system animations,” Apple explains. Here’s how:

  • Go to Settings
  • Tap Battery
  • Toggle Low Power Mode
  • You’ll know it’s on when your battery icon turns yellow.

Use wifi instead of Cellular network

Wifi consumes less power than cellular radio so use it whenever possible. Here are the ways to enable wifi in your iPhone 14:

  1. Swipe up to open Control Center, tap the Wi-Fi icon, and log in to a Wi-Fi network.
  2. Go to Settings > Wi-Fi to access a Wi-Fi network.

Turn Off App And System Location Services

Location Services allows apps and system services to know where you are based on your GPS or Wi-Fi triangulation. This is handy for a number of things, but it drains battery power. Also, some apps request your Location Information yet it does you little good (these apps use it for targeted ads, for example).

To save battery go to Settings

  • Click Privacy then Location Services
  • And toggle the switch to OFF (white) to turn off all Location Services
  • or set individual apps to “While Using” or “Never”.
  • Then scroll down until you see System Services.
  • Tap that and toggle the switches to OFF (white) to disable individual system Location Services.

Turn off background apps

Background Activity allows apps to pull in data even when they’re not being used. This doesn’t mean you need to close apps (Apple has debunked that theory), but it does mean you can force your phone to stop pinging the email server, for example. Here’s how:

  • Go to Settings
  • Tap General
  • Tap Background App Refresh and toggle it to off.

Disable Motion Effects And Dynamic Wallpapers

Apple created the parallax effect to give the flat icons some depth. However, as with any process that requires movement, the graphics capabilities needed to do this eats up battery life. To disable this effect go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Reduce Motion > and toggle the switch to ON (green).

Another motion feature in iOS is dynamic backgrounds. These are the wallpapers that have subtle movement in them. They look cool, but that movement is eating into your precious battery life. It’s best to use a still image for your wallpaper. To get rid of the dynamic images go to Settings > Wallpaper > Choose a New Wallpaper and select a wallpaper from the “Stills” selection.

Prevent Background App Refresh

Background App Refresh is a feature in iOS that enable apps to learn when you frequently check them. This allows the apps to predict when you will next check them and sees them pining their servers right before you do so they can pull the latest data and have it ready and waiting for you when you open the app. It’s a really handy feature except in that it leads to battery drain since these apps are running in the background. To disable Background App Refresh on your iPhone 14.

  • Go to Settings then General
  • Click Background App Refresh
  • Background App Refresh and select “Off” or just toggle individual apps ON or OFF on the previous screen.
