One thing to keep in mind: when you lock and hide an app on your iPhone, it moves to the hidden folder. Apple claims it’s hidden so well that even a search won’t reveal it. However, if you go to your battery settings and check the Battery Usage section, the hidden app will still appear there, making it easy to spot.

[@kuil]

It also shows in the App Store, both when an update is available and when searching for the app.

[@glenpudney]

Yep, all this is so true, so anyone, especially another Apple ecosystem user could easily still find the apps, so hiding them is somewhat futile lol. This would only work with very young children, though for only so long, and people who aren’t tech savvy lol.

[@newsnetworkz]

Lol 😂

[@braedonmorrissey7548]

Im just wondering what we doin that we have to hide apps 🤨

[@jfox8888]

Which is correct no? You can’t search and open the app right ? You need to go to that hidden folder to see the app. Battery usage and what not , is that gonna let someone “use” that app or uninstall …???

Turn off all the background app refresh for apps u don’t need. Turn off location services for apps u don’t need. Use “while in use” instead of always for location for most things. Try to avoid widgets that always search for changes, such as weather, photos that constantly change, battery % of other devices, etc. they all make the phone use constant energy when checking for changes and updating. Use dark mode. Things like messaging apps, try to only use the ones u need. As social media and messaging apps are always checking for updates. These are things I do cause I mainly use my 16 pro for the camera and normal phone usage. If I want to check the weather, I don’t need a widget. I use a lot of shortcuts instead. I turn off always on display too. My battery drains so slow unless I’m filming or the occasional gaming binge. Hope this helps

No

Yes. If you want the AI features coming in a few weeks and beyond. 13 will do none of it

Depends. Titanium build, higher maximum brightness and lower minimum brightness, always on display, Dynamic Island, bigger screen, Apple intelligence, action and camera buttons on the side and more ram. Several things have been added over the years and it’s up to you if those things are enough of a reason for you. I have a 13 pro and I’m strongly considering a 16 pro as my battery capacity approaches 80%.

Optimized Battery Charging and Charge Limit are mutually exclusive

Not really. When you use optimized battery charging, you have to give it 14 days to learn the pattern and then enable.

[@nisha4811]

On another video it was said optimized battery charging and clean energy charging can drain the battery. I turned both off and have my battery slider to 90%. I have the 16 pro not sure if this is the correct thing to do, but I’m going to test this out and see what happens 😅

[@zollotech]

Yes, it has but many people don’t know what’s there

[@artfartzy]

Just remember with 16:9 format the image is cropped at the top and bottom compared to 4:3 so you are loosing a bit due to the crop. So it's better in most cases to just use 4:3 and edit it to 16:9 after if you want to. Apple has it at 4:3 by default as this format looks better on print they said. But sure 16:9 is also great if you want to use it as a background wallpaper on your computer and things like that.

It just depends what you like. I switch all of my professional cameras to 16 x 9 also.

For those with battery issues, either one of your apps are running amok and in the back ground or your location services is running Best way is to stop all back ground process for all social media apps followed by non essentials and monitor Only when it’s be done you can monitor the drain, and for me it’s mostly background music apps and nothing major So likely a typical user problem of having ALL apps installed and leaving it
