As we rely more and more on our smartphones, it's important to make sure that our iPhone's battery is in good health. Over time, the battery in your iPhone will start to degrade, which can lead to shorter battery life and reduced performance. Here's how to check your iPhone's battery health and keep it in top shape:
1 - Open the Settings app on your iPhone and select Battery.
2 - Tap on Battery Health.
3 - Here you'll see two important pieces of information: Maximum Capacity and Peak Performance Capability.
4 - Maximum Capacity is a measure of how much of the original capacity of your battery is still available. A lower number here means that your battery is starting to degrade.
5 - Peak Performance Capability is a measure of whether your iPhone is able to operate at peak performance. If your iPhone's battery is degraded, you may see a message here indicating that your iPhone is unable to deliver peak performance due to an issue with your battery.
6 - If your Maximum Capacity is below 80%, it may be time to replace your battery. Apple recommends replacing your iPhone's battery when it falls below this threshold.
7 - To extend the life of your iPhone's battery, try to avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures and avoid charging it to 100% on a regular basis. Instead, aim to keep your battery between 20% and 80% whenever possible.
In addition to checking your iPhone's battery health, there are a few other things you can do to extend its life:
1 - Use Low Power Mode: When your iPhone's battery starts to get low, Low Power Mode can help extend its life by reducing power usage. You can turn on Low Power Mode in the Battery section of the Settings app.
2 - Reduce Screen Brightness: Your iPhone's screen is one of the biggest drains on its battery. By reducing the screen brightness, you can help extend your battery life.
3 - Disable Background App Refresh: Many apps will continue to run in the background even when you're not using them, which can drain your battery. Consider disabling Background App Refresh for apps you don't use frequently.
4 - Use Airplane Mode: If you're in an area with poor signal, your iPhone may use more power trying to maintain a connection. Turning on Airplane Mode can help extend your battery life in these situations.
By following these tips and regularly checking your iPhone's battery health, you can help extend the life of your battery and ensure that your iPhone is always ready when you need it.
