+ | We all want to think our phone's battery will last long enough to get us to a charger. But sometimes, it just doesn't. Don't worry. If your iPhone is constantly attached to a cable, there are ways to relieve your reliance on an electrical outlet. |

+ | == The Basics == |
Before undertaking any of the more time consuming solutions below, these are a few fundamentals to get you started. | |
- | * Perform a force restart. |
- | ** ***For iPhone 8 and newer:*** Press and release the volume up button, then volume down, then press and hold the power button until the screen goes black and the Apple logo reappears. |
- | ** ***For iPhone 7 and 7 Plus:*** Press and hold the volume down and power buttons until the display goes black and the Apple logo reappears. |
- | ** ***For iPhone 6S and older:*** Press and hold the home and power buttons until the display goes black and the Apple logo reappears. |
+ | * Restart your phone. It's Troubleshooting 101 with good reason. It can clear random hiccups, or a stuck process caught gobbling energy. [link|https://www.ifixit.com/Search?doctype=guide&query=how%20to%20force%20restart%20an%20iphone|Do a force restart|new_window=true] if you prefer. |

Advertised battery life and battery life in practice often vary wildly. Just because the specs page on your brand new iPhone 13 Pro Max boasts up to 95 hours of audio playback, doesn’t mean you'll get four whole days of use on a single charge. These numbers are acquired in precisely controlled and idealized scenarios. Here are some ways to minimize your phone's energy consumption. | |

+ | * Check to see what is using your battery. Navigate to ***Settings > Battery***. Underneath the battery health indicator is a breakdown of what is sucking down power. Limit use of apps that consume lots of energy, or come to terms with their impact on battery life. |
+ | ** Turn off background app refresh for all apps, or apps you don’t need real time notifications from. This can be toggled off for all or individual apps under ***Settings > General > Background App Refresh***''.'' |
* If you tend to get a lot of notifications, disabling vibrations can significantly improve battery life. | |
* Decrease your screen lock time out. Or be sure to lock your phone when you’re done using it. | |
- | * Enable Do Not Disturb mode. Otherwise incoming notifications will power the screen on as they come in. Bear in mind you may need to configure exceptions if you don't want to risk missing important calls. |
- | * GPS, video games, streaming media and frequent use of the camera flash will also consume higher than typical amounts of energy and could shorten battery life. |

- | * Check to see if any apps have updated recently. In the App Store, select the profile icon by clicking the icon in the upper right corner to access apps you own or have downloaded. At the bottom of this page will list apps which require updates, and beneath that, Apps which have been recently updated are shown. Compare this to your battery usage if necessary. |
- | * Quit any app which seems a likely offender and see if it makes a difference to battery life. Uninstall any apps in the overlap which are having a negative impact. If battery life improves try reinstalling the app. |

* A fresh OS install is a drastic measure to address battery life, but could still be helpful, especially if some corruption is contributing to the issue. | |
** Be sure to have a backup of your device and connect to iTunes to perform the reset for the most reliable results. [br] | |
When your phone is in an area where cellular coverage is limited, it boosts the amount of energy sent to antenna functions to attempt to pull signal in from further away. This can drain your battery with frightening speed. | |

* Disable cellular functions by enabling Airplane mode until you are in an area with better coverage. WiFi and Bluetooth can still be utilized in this mode, although they may need to be re-enabled. | |
* If your cellular service is consistently low, start with a network settings reset. This option can be found under ''Settings > General > Reset (''Could also be listed as ''Transfer or Reset Phone''). | |
** No data is erased by this reset, but it will require you to reconnect any previously known Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connections. | |

Although charging issues are more commonly related to the Lightning port, it can also cause rapid battery drain. | |
* Do an examination of the pins in the port itself. Liquid, or bent pins inside the charge port can cause bridging of electrical lines. | |
* Check for signs of liquid, or tear to the internal assembly which the charge port is attached to. | |

+ | == Logic Board Fault == |
The logic board is the hub for the vast majority of an iPhone's functionality. Any number of the small components on the board may have failed or become damaged, and is a safe assumption of cause if nothing else on this page has worked. | |
* Contrary to popular belief, the board itself can be repaired. However, it requires specialized tools and microsoldering know-how. This is not something most people can do themselves, but many independent repair shops can do it for you! | |

+ | == About the Author == |
+ | |
+ | Even before I was repairing phones, I was selling them. I never liked sales, but I did like phones. So I transitioned to repairing them. I hold an Apple ACiT certification, passing my exam shortly before the onslaught of “[link|https://www.ifixit.com/News/11208/batterygate-timeline|batterygate]” in 2018. I barely survived the year of the $29 iPhone battery replacement, but built up some serious repair chops.Eventually I wasn’t satisfied with the sot of repairs official Apple channels offered and stumbled into [link|https://www.ifixit.com/News/6911/micro-soldering-mom|iFixit’s article on Jessa Jones]. I caught the microsoldering bug and now I troubleshoot iPhones all the way down the logic board. |
