One of the new features that the
iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus can boast of is the slightly smaller battery than
that of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. But even if the new iPhones come with
smaller batteries, Apple says that they offer the same battery life as the
previous generation iPhones since they contain the power-efficient A9 chip and other
power-saving features.
But regardless of whether you own an
iPhone 6S or iPhone 6S Plus, since you are putting this handset to optimum use
every day for various reasons, you will still have problems with prolonging its
battery life every now and then. The good news is that there are various ways
for you to save or prolong the battery life of your iPhone. KSA tech experts
share some useful tips below:
Always close
any apps running in the background. Even if you close an app, they are
not completely turned off. In reality, all the apps you have ever opened are
still running in the background and eating up battery life. To close these
apps, make sure you fully exit them. You can do this through the following
ways:
- Double tapping the Home button.
- Touch the app and flick it up and away toward the top of the screen.
- Close three apps simultaneously by touching each one with a finger and flicking them all up at the same time.
Identify the
power-hungry and battery-killing apps. If your iPhone has the iOS 8/9.3, it
has a built-in feature named Battery Usage that can help users identify the
apps that have been draining the battery the most in the previous 24 hours and seven
days. You will see this feature in the iPhone’s Settings menu. When you open
it, you will see a detailed breakdown of the iPhone battery usage of each app.
After identifying the apps that fail to sleep when they are not in use, take the
necessary measures. If disabling Facebook can extend your handset’s battery
life and stop battery drain, deactivate it immediately.
Deactivate
location services. Location services, like the built-in GPS, have been proven
to be big battery drainers. If you want to prolong your iPhone’s battery life,
completely close any app and features that have or come with location services.
Disable live
or dynamic backgrounds. It is definitely fun to watch or look at live wallpapers and
backgrounds on your iPhone. However, since they are made up of animations, they
consume more power and you will lose battery quickly if you have them. As such,
it is best to stick with static background images as your wallpapers.
It would be great to use your iPhone
without constantly worrying about draining the battery and finding a way to
charge it. You can do this by following the battery life saving tips above.
