1. Avoid Extreme Temperatures
The optimal operating temperature range for an iPhone is 0°C to 35°C; temperatures higher or lower can affect battery performance. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, especially in the summer, and refrain from leaving your iPhone in a hot car. In extremely cold environments, the battery may temporarily fail, but it usually recovers after warming up.
2. Regularly Restart Your Device
• Extended use of an iPhone can lead to software issues, which can accelerate battery consumption.
• Solution:
o Restart your iPhone every few days to clear cache files and ensure smoother system operation.
o To restart, press and hold the power button + volume button (Face ID models) or hold the power button (Home button models), then slide to power off and power on again.
3. Use Genuine or Certified Charging Accessories
Low-quality chargers or cables can damage battery health and impact long-term lifespan. It's recommended to choose Apple official or MFi (Made for iPhone) certified chargers and cables. Avoid using inferior fast charging devices, as excessive current can harm the battery.
4. Regularly Check iPhone Battery Health
• If the battery ages, it is likely to cause rapid power consumption, leading to the iPhone frequently heating up. Therefore, checking the iPhone battery health can help you understand the battery's condition and prompt you to replace or repair it in time.
• Here's how to check iPhone battery health: Go to Settings > Battery > Battery Health. Check the "Maximum Capacity" column; if it shows less than 80%, it means your iPhone battery has aged and may require replacement or repair.
• However, if your iPhone's battery health shows less than 80%, even if you use other power-saving methods, it may not completely solve the issue of rapid battery consumption. At this point, the battery's condition is very poor, and it's advisable to consider replacing the battery directly.
