iOS 17 Battery Tips That Actually Work

[@braskabani8011]

There will never be a battery champion like iphone 13 pro max.

[@styagi6]

I hope the battery situation improves. It can be really annoying to always leave your phone charging! iPhone 14 pro! I dont like turning widgets and other features off. But great helpful video Aaron!

[@kalyanil]

The only battery tips I would ever take seriously 🙌🏻

[@zollotech]

Thank you

[@Jst4vdeos]

Unfortunately with iOS it’s been the same tips to improve battery life for 10 years, Apple needs to fix more

[@MihaiCostiug]

@@Jst4vdeos Lol it's always gonna be the case of "turn off features that are using a lot of power if you want to save battery". Display is always gonna use a lot of battery, same for high CPU loads, background activities and sensors like GPS. What does Apple need to fix specifically? Give you less features? I'd say at this point it's as fool proof as it can be, with the optimized charging and everything

[@Jst4vdeos]

@@MihaiCostiug They boast about the 3nm processor but it seems to eat more juice than the last few. They need to fix software, they've had buggier software the last few years because they are forcing out features that aren't ready

[@Theinspirationalrogue]

I love my iPhone 13 Pro Max but since iOS 17, the battery does run out a little faster, still lasts me atleast through half way of the day, 86% current capacity battery health

[@greeneyedqt90]

I have 13 mini and battery goes quick

[@alexsherel3344]

Half sux

[@TheMRam7]

yup, same here. Updated 13PM from 15.7.1 cause it was supposed to be "amazing". Honestly, the features are simply not worth the update, especially if you're not in US. Screen on/usage is still better than on 14/15PM, but a definitely worse than it was before

[@Jst4vdeos]

@@greeneyedqt90the 13 mini never had good battery

[@Theinspirationalrogue]

I hope there’s an update soon that will further fix this issue, I’m concerned thinking it’s just going to stay that way, in a way forcing us to upgrade. I’m trying to hold off until the 16 Ultra next year

[@-MuhammadAayan]

I’ve noticed a common frustration with iPhone’s optimized battery charging feature. It’s supposed to preserve battery health by avoiding overcharging, which is great in the long run. However, it often results in my phone reaching a full charge way before I actually need it. I’m sure I’m not the only one facing this.

[@WodverWizard]

That's normal behavior. If in case of emergency you need your phone and are away from a power outlet all day, you'll at least have started the day at 100%. I've literally had this happen last month. My dad suffered cardiac arrest in his sleep near the end of the night, a couple of hours before my alarm was supposed to go off. We were able to save his life with CPR and we had to follow him to the hospital after he was rushed away. We ended up being away from home all day, but my phone at least started at 100% a couple of hours early so I made it through the day with no additional charge, allowing us to keep in contact with friends and family members. I know this won't ever happen to most people, but it's an example of exactly why Apple designed the feature to behave this way.

[@MihaiCostiug]

It's supposed to learn your habits over time. So if you always plug it in at 11pm and start using it at 7am, it will learn that and will stay at 80% until 6ish. The first few times you are going to do it though, it will just go straight to 100%, and if you keep unplugging it early, then it will assume you need it earlier.

[@HistoryNut-1701]

It hasn’t worked at all for me since upgrading to iOS17, so I disabled all the settings that allow it to work since they consume battery on their own, and take my phone off the charger at 80% before I go to bed and put it back on when I wake up to finish charging. When I can finally upgrade to the iPhone 15, the 80% max limit is getting switched on and staying on.

[@MihaiCostiug]

@@HistoryNut-1701 Lol those settings won't consume any battery on their own. But do whatever works for you. If you're changing your entire schedule to accommodate this, my suggestion would be to just forget about it and put it on the charger whenever you want it and take it out when you need it. Doing all these optimizations might maybe give you at most one more month of extra in a 3 year lifespan, before you need to replace the battery. You decide how much of your time you want to spend for that one extra month before spending under 100 bucks on a new battery.

[@-MuhammadAayan]

@@MihaiCostiug i have my sleep time set up from 10 pm to 5:30 am and i only take it off from charge on time so no use in between charging.

Quick question, if I were to use WatchOS betas on Apple Watch, without using iOS betas, would that affect the battery health of the iPhone? I know it will affect the watches battery health, and I am not worried about that one.

You can’t use watchOS beta without using iOS beta. It will cause problems and not connect properly.

I really appreciate your videos man, thanks. Having said that, I find it very annoying having a phone that we need to charge up to 80% because if you do so to 100% you damage the battery, like c'mon, it so ridiculous from a trillion dollar company to "not be able" to overcome this with the battery.

[@mxy4625]

[@debbiebridygham9230]

I select the Count option for Notifications, which only shows a count of the total number, so the iPhone doesn’t need to update the screen to show the notification itself. This is also less distracting

[@tdrg_]

11:17 iPhone SE (all generations) and iPhone 11 don’t have OLED displays, so Dark Mode isn’t really effective at saving battery life.

[@seinfarage9959]

Yes sir always used a short cut alarm that notifies me when my charging has reached 81 percent n over the years as you have always said i only realized i was able to save not more than 3 % battery health... So i always charge anytime i want n realized the best is not to drop below 30 to 40 percent n not to charge all the way to 100% is way better for the battery n i never charge more than 20 minutes or 30 minutes at a time n that has truly been the best for me 😊

[@VinylRecords-vd7dr]

The thing that is killing batteries is fast charging. More heat=battery degradation. I’ve always used 5w charging bricks and I usually have 90-92% battery health after a year and a half. Keep the charge level between 40-80% also helps.

[@zollotech]

The fast charging doesn't really affect the batteries much at all. Maybe 3% a year as it's not really that fast

Old school iPhone 13 user here. Ever since updating to iOS 17.1, I've noticed much quicker battery drain in general than with iOS 16.*. Under Settings -> Battery, I have been seeing "Camera" show up under the "Battery Usage by App" section even for 24-hour windows when I have not used the Camera. Right now, it is telling me I have used the Camera app for 5 minutes in the past 24 hours. Uh, no, I haven't! Has iOS 17.* added some feature that is accessing the camera?

My iPhone 14 Pro battery health is currently at 88% from consistently using 12w iPad Charger and being out all day in the sun with extreme heat. Heat is what degrades the health fast. I’ve had my phone since November 2022 so it’s kind of bad, I use to use the 20w charger and my battery health dropped quicker within a year.

@@pluvse that’s probably the best advice I’ve heard. I’m not a heavy user and keep my phone out of the sun most of the time, but I primarily use Apple MagSafe chargers and wireless charging definitely generates more heat.
