From watches that monitor your heartbeat to phones that take professional-quality pictures, Apple^® products are designed to assist with a wide range of tasks. However, you might not be using them to the best of their abilities. There are several steps consumers can take to get the most out of their devices—while saving storage space and extending battery life in the process.      

4 Helpful Tips for Using Apple Products

1. Use Timer Function to Put iTunes^® to Sleep 

Many people listen to music to help fall asleep. Unless the devices are plugged into electrical outlets, keeping music and other media playing on an iPhone^® or iPad^® all night will drain the battery. However, you can use the timer function in the Clock app to stop playing media when the time runs out. This way, you won’t have to worry about missing alarm clocks, text messages, or calls because the device died during the night. 

2. Sync Devices for Convenient Access to Files

Syncing Apple products will give you access to email, media, and other files across multiple devices. To automatically upload content from the computer to an iPod^®, iPhone, or iPad, use the sync function in iTunes. After connecting the device to the computer and opening iTunes, click on the “device” tab and pull up the “summary” page. From there, follow the prompts to sync the products.

3. Save Files on iCloud^® for Easy Data Recovery 

If you break your phone or get a computer virus, there are safeguards in place to keep files on Apple products protected. Consumers are encouraged to back up media, pictures, documents, and other important data on iCloud. To access the virtual storage space, open the settings tab on the device, pick the iCloud option, and then choose the “backup” feature. Make sure there’s a strong Wi-Fi signal when backing up files to ensure the transfer is uninterrupted. 

4. Check Apple’s Warranty Status Website to Review Care Coverage

Apple products come with one-year manufacturer warranty coverage, with the option to extend the plan. The warranty protects against hardware defects and manufacturing damage. To find out whether your devices are still covered, check Apple’s warranty status website. Logging in with your Apple ID will bring up a list of devices associated with that account. You can use the serial number information provided to review the specific terms of each product agreement.
