Does your iPhone battery need a boost? These Apple iPhone battery tips and tricks will help get you through the day without a charge.
It's tough to exist without a smartphone these days. So much of our lives are contained inside these tiny devices that we don't want them running out of juice at an inopportune time. But thanks to Apple clinging to its proprietary Lightning cable for so long, there wasn't always a compatible charger at the ready—until the iPhone 15 launched with a USB-C charging port.
In our tests, the iPhone 15 Pro Max offered over 20 hours of battery life, but what if you have an older model that's struggling to last all day? Normal wear and tear (and our own bad habits) will degrade your battery over time. Apple has also been known to throttle battery performance.
Apple's $29 battery-replacement program is long gone, but the Self Service Repair Store sells replacement batteries you can install yourself at around $70. If you would prefer to eke out a few more months without paying for a new battery (or iPhone), though, here are some things to try.
1. How to Show Battery Percentage on iPhone
Before you can monitor your battery life, you need to know exactly what you're looking at. The iPhone battery icon in the top-right corner of the screen represents how much juice is left on the device, but it's not a very precise measurement of battery life.
You can see the exact battery percentage left by opening the Control Center, but if you want that information at a glance in the phone's top-right corner, you need to turn on the feature. Head to Settings > Battery and enable Battery Percentage. The battery icon will then show a number, making it easier to monitor battery life.
2. Activate Low Power Mode
One of your strongest weapons against battery drain is Low Power Mode. With it enabled, your phone only performs the most essential of tasks, so background activities like downloads and mail fetching are disabled. Low Power Mode will automatically kick in when the battery falls below 20%, but you can also activate it manually to keep your phone going for longer.
Head over to Settings > Battery and turn on Low Power Mode. You can also add Low Power Mode to the Control Center under Settings > Control Center. When activated, the battery icon in the top-right corner will turn yellow. Note that this mode will only work if your phone's battery is below 80%.
