Is your Apple iPad Air or iPhone battery draining faster than it used to? Its no fun, and certainly not productive, to have to constantly charge your iOS device. Here are some tips for how to get more battery life from your iPad Air or iPhone:
- In Settings/ General/ Usage/ Battery Usage, you'll see a list of apps that are sucking your battery. This will give you an idea of what needs changed
- Turn off location services for all apps and then selectively turn on as you need to.
- If you have kids participating in sports, especially track, make sure your stop watch isn't running.
- Close all open apps. Push the home button twice and then swipe each app up to fully close it.
- Get a full charge overnight. First thing in the morning, turn the phone completely off and then back on again.
- Worse case scenario, take it into Apple to evaluate the health of your battery. If its failing and still under warranty Apple should replace the battery for you.
