If you’ve been looking for practical ways to extend your phone’s usage, you’re in the right place. Here are 10 effective hacks from the experts at 73inc to maximize your iPhone’s battery life. And if you are still experiencing issues, remember that when you need an iPhone screen fix in Auckland or an iPhone battery replacement, 73inc is your trusted local specialist.


1. Activate Low Power Mode

Low Power Mode reduces energy consumption by limiting background processes and visual effects.
To turn it on:

  • Go to Settings > Battery
  • Toggle Low Power Mode on
  • You can also place it in your Control Center to reach it faster.

Low Power Mode is a smart tool for stretching your battery, especially when you’re running low.


2. Adjust Your Screen Brightness

Your screen is one of the largest battery consumers. Dimming your display manually or using Auto-Brightness can save significant power:

  • Swipe down to open Control Center and reduce the brightness
  • Head to Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text Size and switch on Auto-Brightness to help your iPhone adjust brightness automatically.
  • Use Dark Mode via Settings > Display & Brightness, especially on OLED screens

Small adjustments to brightness settings can make a noticeable difference daily.


3. Manage Background App Refresh

Some apps constantly update in the background, draining your battery unnecessarily.
Manage this by:

  • Access Background App Refresh through Settings and General to control background activity.
  • Turning it off completely or allowing only necessary apps

This ensures that only essential apps consume energy while you’re using your phone.


4. Review Location Services Settings

Location tracking can quietly sap your battery. Modify your settings by:

  • Opening Settings > Privacy > Location Services
  • Turning off access for apps that don’t need it or setting it to “While Using the App”
  • In System Services, disable extras like “Location-Based Ads”

These small tweaks add up over time to a healthier battery.


5. Customize Notifications

Notifications might seem harmless, but every alert that lights up your screen quietly drains your battery. Manage them by:

  • Going to Settings > Notifications
  • Disabling alerts for non-essential apps

Reducing unnecessary notifications keeps both distractions and power drain minimal.


6. Limit Widgets and Live Wallpapers

Widgets and animated wallpapers look impressive, but can be battery-heavy. To simplify:

  • Long-press the home screen to remove unused widgets
  • Choose still images via Settings > Wallpaper > Choose a New Wallpaper > Stills

Prioritizing only necessary widgets keeps your phone efficient.


7. Close Unused Apps Wisely

While iOS is designed to manage background apps well, occasionally closing apps helps if your phone feels sluggish:

  • Swipe up from the bottom to open the app switcher
  • Swipe away apps you aren’t actively using

However, avoid force-closing all apps constantly, as reopening them uses more power than leaving them idle.


8. Optimize Your Charging Habits

Maintaining good charging practices can extend battery health:

  • Avoid frequent charging below 20% or above 80%
  • Enable Optimized Battery Charging via Settings > Battery > Battery Health
  • Always use trusted, certified chargers

Pro Tip:
Keep your battery between 40% to 80% for maximum longevity. Extreme full charges and deep discharges wear it out faster.


9. Update Your iOS Regularly

Apple’s updates often include battery optimization fixes. To stay updated:

  • Go to Settings > General > Software Update
  • Enable Automatic Updates for worry-free improvements

Running the latest version ensures your device benefits from Apple’s newest energy-saving features.


10. Seek Professional Help When Needed

I walked into 73inc 9 years ago and I have never left. From cell phones that the kids have broken to computers that have stopped working on me. Enzo and his crew have never let me down. My computer died 3 months ago. Enzo stayed open till 8;30pm just for me. I was in trouble, I left that night with a working computer ready for the next day. That is the customer service that keeps me going back that just doesn't exist in any where else.

I highly recommend Enzo! He provided fast, friendly, and amazing service. My laptop had a battery issue, and he fixed it quickly. So far, my laptop has been working perfectly, and the new battery is working great as well. He was very helpful and made the whole process easy and hassle-free. I’m very happy with the service and would definitely recommend him to anyone who needs laptop repairs. Thank you so much, Enzo! 😊

It was a fantastic experience dealing with 73 inc. They responded immediately to my inquiry, and provided all the information I needed for my MacBook Air repair. I dropped it off late in the afternoon and it was ready first thing the next day. They were very proactive in keeping me up-to-date with the repair status, and provided an amazing service. Will happily use them again!
