I always come to this channel when I buy a new iPhone to see what settings I need to turn on and off so that I can always get the VERY BEST battery life. Even if it’s only 1% extra.

Well, I love your videos and they really help. HOWEVER-You guys seem to be in a real HURRY to tell us what to change. Most of the time, I personally CANNOT keep up with the changes recommended, and must watch the video (backing up a-lot to keep up!) many many many times to get all the information. So, what I’d like to suggest is: SLOW DOWN!!!! Many here, myself included may be physically handicapped and we cannot change from one place to another as fast as you want us to.

I had an iphone 13 as my first phone and i had never botherd with tweaking settings as i had the impression that this is an advantage of iphones over android phones, that supposedly they come preconfigired. But boy i was wrong. I switched to a 16 pro model,and i am glad i found you guys, i feel that my phone is now a lot more optimized than it used to be before.

[@michaelchandler490]

Thanks guys. About once a year, I go through my phone with one of your videos. The last tip on speeding up wifi really helped

I adjusted most of your recommended setting and it saves battery power a ton but something I’ve noticed is my takes twice as long to charge!

Under 'System Services' you suggested turning off 'Network and Wireless', my iPhone 11 says that 'may affect Bluetooth and Wi-Fi'. Is that true? To what extent?

I cant thank you enough. I went from years using android switching to iphone 12 pro max. I have used like 85% of the recommendations in your video. Big 👍.

[@LindyFerris]

Great presentation - took me hours to go through because I kept pausing (yes it goes too fast) but would love to receive the PDFs you mention. Also just bought an iPhone 14, first one was a lemon, but replaced and now navigating through all the different features (last had an SE 2nd generation so very different). One thing I would love to know how to get rid of is Focus, specifically Do Not Disturb that likes to turn on by itself, I got no calls for days because this app changed my schedule to daytime instead of nighttime, any suggestions??? Thank you for taking the time to put this video together. Cheers

Yeah, me too. PLay a little, hit pause, change settings, hit play, hit pause, change a setting……LOL🤣

[@Corina235]

I just got my first iPhone ever being always a Samsung Galaxy user. Point by point I checked my phone's settings with you guys and changed a lot of settings as you said. But, there is a big but here, my 14 Pro Max has problems staying connected to the wifi so I might need to keep it mostly on the network for a while until this issue gets solved somehow. As you can understand, some of the settings you suggest will not work for me now cause my phone needs to use cellular data to function at all times. But all in all, great video! Thanks!

What a terrifically comprehensive and informative video. You gentlemen have helped me enjoy and optimize my iPhone beyond belief. Many thanks!

[@marottamonster]

Great video as always when it comes to turning off things that aren't all that necessary, however I think there's something that perhaps you might need to investigate, as I have found with my former 12Max that doesn't seem to work the way that you think. Item #13 Block Sender Options. I have noticed over the last year or two an abundance of junk mail showing up in one of my accounts "junk" folders. So of course I took your advice in a previous video and enabled that setting to move the blocked mail to the trash, but I have to tell you I am constantly finding junk mail form the exact same blocked senders showing up in said junk folder and NOT my trash. Any chance you can start investigating whether this is broken still. I had searched online and several people on Apples forum had stated that they also have never seen it work on their iPhone, and I believe one individual stated that it was an exclusive feature for iMacs, and NOT meant for the iPhone's [even though it is within the settings screen].

Gentlemen, I do not see an address to ask this more privately but as of 9/16/23 and concerning iOS 17, I am asking: - Do you have or plan to have a list of items to turn ON or OFF in order to save battery - How about a similar listing to improve performance ? Thanks for your channel :)

[@Ceranik]

Keep the raw setting on. It only shoots at 48MP if you choose to shoot in raw. With raw mode enabled you still have to manually enable raw mode every time the camera app is closed and reopened. By turning off raw mode in settings all you're doing is removing that option from the camera app. Also, it's 2023, having the max compatibility setting selected is just taking up more space with lower quality but larger jpeg files. Almost everything can read Apple's HEIC format at this point. It would be worth it to shoot in HEIC and convert to jpeg in the rare case it's needed. Just my two cents as someone who uses his iPhone as camera frequently.

[@PayetteForward]

100%. We’re all about HEIF. And turning off ProRAW is entirely optional. But with great power comes great responsibility. And that’s why we created a shortcut that converts 48 MP RAW photos to jpegs!

[@rb0042]

DNS is all over the world, the only exceptions might be places like China that have a firewall that blocks certain actions. Ultimately, you are telling your phone a direct address rather than a common name. Think of it as GPS coordinates compared to local directions.
