I\u2019m going to tell you exactly why your\u00a0iPhone battery<\/a>drains so quickly and exactly how to fix it.<\/strong>\u00a0I\u2019ll explain how you can get longer\u00a0battery life\u00a0out of your iPhone without sacrificing functionality. Take my word for it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The vast majority of iPhone battery <\/strong>issues are software related.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ll cover a number of proven iPhone battery fixes that I learned from first-hand experience with hundreds of iPhones while I worked for Apple. Here\u2019s one example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Real Reasons Your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Battery Dies So Fast<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Push Mail<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When your mail is set to push, it means that your iPhone maintains a constant connection to your email server so that the server can instantly push the mail to your iPhone as soon as it arrives. Sounds good, right? Wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How To Fix Push Mail<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To fix this problem, we\u2019re going to change your iPhone from push to fetch. You\u2019ll save a lot of battery life by telling your iPhone to check for new mail every 15 minutes instead of all the time. Your iPhone will always check for new mail whenever you open the Mail app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go to Settings -> Mail -> Accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tap Fetch New Data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turn off Push at the top of the screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scroll to the bottom and choose Every 15 Minutes under Fetch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tap on each individual email account and, if possible, change it to Fetch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most people agree that waiting a few minutes for an email to arrive is worth the significant improvement in your iPhone\u2019s battery life.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Turn Off Unnecessary Location Services<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Location Services are part of what makes the iPhone such a great device, so I\u2019d like to be clear: I don\u2019t recommend that you turn off Location Services entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

hidden system services copy<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I believe it\u2019s important for you to choose which programs and services can access your location, especially given the significant battery drain <\/strong>and personal privacy issues that come with your iPhone, right out of the box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How To Fix Location Services<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go to Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Location Services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tap Share My Location. If you want to be able to share your location with your family and friends in the Messages app, then leave this on, but be careful: If someone wanted to track you, this is how they\u2019d do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scroll all the way to the bottom and tap System Services. Let\u2019s clear up a common misconception right away: Most of these settings are all about sending data to Apple for marketing and research. When we turn them off, your iPhone will continue to function just as it always has.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The compass will still work and you\u2019ll connect to cell towers just fine \u2014 it\u2019s just that Apple won\u2019t be receiving data about your behavior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tap Significant Locations. Did you know your iPhone has been tracking you everywhere you go? You can imagine the excess strain this puts on your battery. I recommend you turn off Significant Locations. Tap <System Services to return to the main System Services menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turn off all the switches under Product Improvement. These only send information to help Apple improve their products, not make your iPhone <\/strong>run more efficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scroll to the bottom and turn on Status Bar Icon. That way, you\u2019ll know your location is being used when a little arrow appears next to your battery. If that arrow is on all the time, there\u2019s probably something wrong. Tap <Location Services to go back to the main Location Services menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turn off Location Services for apps that don\u2019t need to know where you are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IMG_0743What you need to know: If you see a purple arrow next to an app, it\u2019s using your location now. A gray arrow means it\u2019s used your location within the last 24 hours and a purple-outlined arrow means it\u2019s using a geofence (more about geofences later).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Don\u2019t Send iPhone Analytics<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s a quick <\/strong>Smartphone Battery<\/a><\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

 tip: Head to Settings -> Privacy & Security, scroll to the bottom, and open Analytics & Improvements. Turn off the switch next to Share iPhone Analytics and Share iCloud Analytics to stop your iPhone from automatically sending data to Apple about how you use your iPhone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
