iPhone battery is not durable? What are the factors that affect the battery life of a mobile phone?

Recently, Apple released the official version of iOS18.01 update, and I believe that the gratifying iOS18.1 official version will also be coming. At that time, the battery replacement of the Apple mobile phone will be more free, and the pop-up window will be completely goodbye, and the problems such as health check will be solved.

iPhone battery is not durable?

The battery life problem of Apple mobile phones has troubled many Apple users, and compared with new mobile phones, Apple mobile phones that have been used for one or two years feel that the battery life is obviously insufficient. Objectively speaking, it is normal for such problems to occur.

The number of cycles of the original battery of Apple mobile phones is limited (generally 500-1000), and as the number of battery cycles increases, the battery health and performance gradually decline, and the battery life is reduced.

When the battery health of the Apple phone is reduced to about 80%, the battery performance will decrease significantly, and you may need to consider replacing the battery at this time

The battery health can be checked through the "Battery" option in your phone's settings.

Battery Replacement :

If the phone has been used for more than two years, and the battery health is low, or there is automatic shutdown, power failure, etc., it is recommended to replace the battery.

Replacing the battery can choose an official after-sales service or a third-party repair shop. The official replacement price is higher, but the quality is guaranteed; The price of the third-party repair shop is lower, but you need to pay attention to choosing a regular store and brand battery.

Of course, you can also buy a third-party battery produced by a regular manufacturer, and replace the Apple mobile phone battery by yourself according to the video guide of the battery replacement operation of the corresponding model.

iPhone X and earlier models can check the battery health after replacing and installing a third-party battery. iPhone XS/XR/XS MAX, 11 and newer models do not support health viewing.

But regardless of the old and new Apple phones, after replacing the third-party brand battery, the battery life can be effectively improved. Users who are anxious about battery life can also choose high-capacity or super-capacity batteries, which can be greatly improved on the basis of standard capacity original batteries.

The factors that affect the battery life of mobile phones mainly include the following aspects:

Battery capacity: Battery capacity is the most direct factor affecting the battery life of a mobile phone. The larger the battery capacity, the longer the phone will usually last.

Screen brightness : The higher the screen brightness, the more power the phone consumes. Reducing the brightness of the screen or using the automatic brightness adjustment feature can improve the battery life.

System optimisation: How well the operating system is optimised, the coordination between the application and the hardware, can also affect the battery life. A low-power processor and an optimised operating system extend battery life.

Usage habits: Frequent use of power-hungry functions (such as GPS, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi) will reduce battery life. In addition, overcharging and incorrect charging methods can also cause damage to the battery.

Software Updates : Software updates may increase the load on the processor, affecting battery life. When updating the software regularly, you need to pay attention to its battery consumption.

Network environment: The network environment has an impact on battery life, and the mobile phone will increase the transmission power in an environment with a weak signal, resulting in faster power consumption.

Hardware configuration: A high-performance hardware configuration, while providing better performance, also increases energy consumption. For example, a more powerful processor and a higher resolution will increase power consumption.

Temperature: High or low temperature environments can affect battery life. High temperatures will accelerate battery ageing, while low temperatures will affect battery performance.

Aging: Over time, the chemicals inside the battery will gradually degrade, resulting in a decrease in battery capacity and reduced charging efficiency.

Tips for extending your phone's battery life:

Turn off unnecessary background apps and features: Reducing apps and features running in the background can reduce battery consumption.

For example, Apple has a keyboard option that provides haptic feedback when you tap a key on the screen. Each key will vibrate for a more satisfying typing experience, but what you may not know is that it drains your battery.

In addition, turning on Bluetooth also consumes a lot of extra power. When Bluetooth is not necessary, we can choose to turn it off. In the same way, cellular networks, represented by 5G, are also a major power consumer. We can turn off the cellular network when connected to WiFi or when we don't have to connect to the Internet.

Check the battery-draining apps and pay attention to closing some power-hungry apps, such as live streaming, Blu-ray videos, background games, downloading updates, etc., which can significantly improve the phenomenon of fast battery consumption.

Use power saving mode: Turn on power saving mode/low power mode to reduce energy consumption and extend battery life.

Control screen brightness : Reduce the screen brightness or use the automatic brightness adjustment feature to save power.

Specifically, for example, when dark mode is turned on, it can save a lot of power. Because OLED displays consume less power when displaying darker colour pixels. Studies have found that using Dark Mode outdoors in sunny days can save up to 47% of power.

Avoid frequent charging and discharging: Reducing frequent charging and discharging can prolong battery life.

Choose the right charger : Using the appropriate charger and controlling the charging time can avoid overheating the battery.

Replace the battery of an over-capacitated/high-capacity phone: Especially for older Apple models, the improvement in battery life is immediate.

Through the above methods, you can effectively extend the battery life of your mobile phone and maintain battery health.
