4 Easy Hacks For Making Your iPhone Last So Much Longer

It can seem like an iPhone is a necessity in life — but it’s such a part of everyday existence that we sometimes forget the enormous investment it is. Considering the expense of an iPhone, it makes even more sense that you would look for ways to make it last as long as possible.

“The Apple iPhone series was a technological marvel in its time, but once the battery dies, it’s about as helpful as a chunk of cleaned glass in your pocket,” says Tech Expert Steven Walker, CEO of Spylix Phones. “Not to mention the benefits when it occurs at the most inconvenient time. People are left asking how to make their iPhone last for years, how else to keep their iPhone running longer, how to make their iPhone stay on longer, or how to make their iPhone natter live longer. All of these things can be performed with these iPhone battery life recommendations.”

Walker offers four easy hacks for making your iPhone last so much longer.

“Reduce the impact on your iPhone’s battery life by turning down the volume and, if possible, wearing headphones,” Walker says. “Until the cell battery is fully charged, Low Power Mode temporarily disables or reduces background programs such as mail fetch, Siri services, background app refresh, automated downloads, and some visual effects. To save even more electricity, you can set a volume limit and turn off the EQ.”

The virtual assistant is a nice throw-in feature, but it can be extremely taxing on your phone. “When your iPhone is charging, it will listen for ‘Hey Siri,’ so if you use this feature, turn it off,” Walker says. “Don’t deactivate or turn off your apps because most of them don’t deplete the battery while they’re not in use. You can also use even more batteries by repeatedly double-tapping the Home button and dismissing them.”
