The iPhone^® is one of the bestselling Apple^® products on the market today; in a single quarter, the company sold around 46.9 million devices. Given their prevalence and the vital services these devices provide each day, it only makes sense to want to ensure they are working at peak performance, including by improving the battery function. Here are a few tips to help you support your phone's battery.

3 Ways to Improve the Battery Performance of Your iPhone

1. Turn Off or Minimize Push Notifications

A major drain on the battery of Apple products comes in the form of push notifications. To improve battery life and performance, visit the “Settings” folder of your iPhone, go to “Notifications,” and disable all push alerts for each app. If you need to be kept regularly informed, you can customize the push function to send hourly messages instead of ones as they arrive. Even better, sign up for text message alerts from those services you depend on for information; texts are much easier on a battery than push notifications.

2. Lower the Brightness of the Screen

Crystal-clear screen resolution and adjustable brightness levels are among the biggest selling points of most Apple products. However, the brighter your iPhone screen is, the more draining it is on the device's battery. Reduce the brightness level by going to “Settings” and adjusting the slider in the “Display & Brightness” folder. If most of your phone use is conducted in the evenings, enable the “Auto-Brightness” feature by going to “Settings,” “General,” “Accessibility,” and “Display Accommodations;” this will make the screen automatically adjust to the ambient light in the room.

3. Engage Auto-lock

“Auto-Lock” allows you to determine when your display screen automatically shuts off to save power. This is an excellent way to take care of your iPhone device’s battery. Located by going to “Settings” and “Display & Brightness,” “Auto-Lock” can be set to engage in as few as 30 seconds or as long as 5 minutes. Take advantage of this feature so that your phone can work to preserve the battery, even if you forget to switch off the display.
