Optimize Your iPhone’s Battery Life
Your new iPhone 16 can be the most powerful device on the planet, but it won’t matter if your battery life is poor. This is why it’s really important that you make sure your battery life remains healthy for as long as possible.
To do this, your iPhone has several battery optimization features you should turn on as soon as possible. Here’s how you can find them:
- Open the Settings app.
- Scroll down and go to Battery.
- Tap on Charging.
- If you live in the US, you can turn on Clean Energy Charging to reduce your carbon footprint. This will delay charging until lower carbon-emission electricity is available as often as possible without the risk of leaving you without a full charge.
- You can also set a Charge Limit, reducing the wear and tear of your iPhone’s battery.
- Alternatively, you can turn on Optimized Battery Charging to let your iPhone reach 100% while preserving battery health but not leaving it at that level for longer than necessary.
These settings are designed to preserve your battery health, as leaving it with a full charge increases wear and tear. A fixed limit is the best way to do this if you always have plenty of battery life at the end of every day, while Optimized Battery Charging will let you get a full charge without the risk of leaving your iPhone sitting at 100% for several hours while you sleep.
