„Try to maintain a strong cell signal“, well signal strength is not really a user choice 😅 when there‘s bad coverage, there’s bad coverage
Maybe "you're holding it wrong".
Now you now the pain of living on a mountain
Just turn on airplane mode when you are in a weak signal area and when you return back switch it off
Sounds like a UK problem
- I’ve never heard of the cell service signal symbol being an indication of signal strength at high density area .
You can't just maintain a strong cell signal all the time. Bad coverage is bad coverage, it's never really our choice.
You can't expect people to constantly move closer to the nearest cell tower just because their phone has a weak signal. They've places to go.
He’s not saying you have to. He’s just explaining how those things affect battery.
he said about when there are large amount of people with phones because all the phone is fighting for limited spectrum which can result in weak signal which puts extra strain in all the phones in these area, chill dude
You can counteract by turning on plane mode, though, especially if you’re on a high density event, to save battery.
@@T2Studios is there a way to make is stop
You could stop living in a remote area
Cold temperatures also shortens battery life. You can see your phone turning off at 2,5, even 10% soc.
It’s always also good to check what apps are draining Your battery in settings.
Cold temperatures will kill your battery in the moment, but likely won't degrade the battery's cells. however heat will kill your battery's cells as well as kill your battery's current charge.
@@DraconicAuxCells?? Isn't there only one cell in an iPhone?
@@Alex-tu5vuI can’t tell if you’re genuinely stupid or attempting to troll.
These tips could apply to any phone, really. And also cold temperatures can damage your battery's ability to maintain a charge.
signal one applies to all phones
@@pkennethv oh ok, I see. ty
You forgot to mention cold weather
My iPhone battery doesn’t run out quickly unless if I watch movies on it, heavy games and sometimes put the brightness up
why make a super good display that can be turned super bright if you realistically cant make use of it? ...fuck Apple. This Iphone is gonna be my last one...
You dont say!
I have an even different issue with my first gen iPhone SE that I use as a back up phone: its battery percentage drops from 40 all the way to 1 immediately and then lasts for up to 3 hours on that remaining 1%. When I charge the phone, the battery drains very quickly, but it takes actually quite a lot longer until it shuts down. I don't think the battery is the only issue here, it just can't calculate the remaining charge anymore
In general I feel that with my iPhone SE II the hardware asks 'too much' from the battery. My battery health went down to 85% in less than 1.5 years time...
@@lijenamacka depending on how much you used your phone or the way you charged it, that honestly still seems reasonable! Keep in mind that the second generation iPhone SE is also a small phone with a small battery, which means it's no way ever gonna get close to the iPhone 11 Pro Max, 12 Pro Max or 13 Pro Max or just any recent big iPhone in terms of battery
The battery is too small my first gen SE cant hold much
@@lijenamacka same, my SE 2020 dropped down to 78% battery health in less than two years.
I think it’s a thing with newer phones as I’ve used my 6s since June 2019 and it’s at 83% health.
The bigger problem is that iPhones have tiny battery's in the first place and they are really good optimised for low power consumption when the screen is off, with flight mode enabled, etc. Other phones don't have that problem because they have much bigger battery's so it doesn't matter if the signal is weak or if you turn up your displays brightness to max.
The new ones have about 4500 mAh batteries but for the smaller mini or SE you'd be correct
@@mentalish9417 yes but I don't have 999 bucks yo
I almost always use battery cases on my iPhones. I haven’t bought one for my iPhone 12 because I just bought it a few weeks ago, so there’s not as much of a need for it at the moment. Especially considering I have an automation that forces Low Power Mode to stay on regardless of battery percentage.
The iPhone 12 battery is pretty crappy even at 100%…
No aint
I always just have a MagSafe battery
does low power mode makes a significant difference?
@@StarBattle08 I’m not sure. I have it on all the time except when charging but the battery life is still pretty bad..
Thanks! This was VERY USEFUL information for me. I have an iPhone X.R and I'm starting to notice battery depletion happening faster than 2 years ago. I now know most of the reasons why.
1:26 - Or in my case with my iPhone 11 Pro Max where the conditions are the complete opposite, it would just heat up after extensive use, even with just one out two apps in use and whatnot.
Thanks for the info, i always wondered why my battery was so bad.
This is why there are rumors that the iPhone 15 models may switch to using vapor chamber cooling, which will allow for cooling running SoC's less vulnerable to overheating. And there may be new tricks on the A17 SoC to slow down parts of the SoC on an as-needed basis.
that's definitely good for trading in, but it's still unconfirmed, so I'm keeping my expectations low.
There absolutely are use scenarios that drain batteries faster. Obviously certain processing and applications can do this like working with video, editing, effects processing, etc.
A trick I learn to save battery power is to turn the screen brightness down
@@daniel4412 huge Bruh moment
Einstein
@@daniel4412 wow we have a real smartass over here
omg it's Albert Einstein
But lowering the brightness when you are out on a sunny day is a nightmare
I've been using Apple Smart Battery Cases on my iPhone XS Max for 4 years and my internal battery is still at 90% health. This is the best way to save the internal battery because on most days I'm only discharging the external battery and the internal one doesn't go through as many charge cycles.
What does that mean to “discharge external and not internal”
@@georgecui1410 the battery case is the external battery. The one inside your phone is the internal battery.
@@djp1234 what are you even talking about?
@@ubedullahattarwala9601 they are talking about a special phone case that has its own battery, providing charge to the phone like a powerbank, it is just sitting on top of the phone as a case.
You cycle your battery even if its constantly charging. The battery case doesn't matter. You most probably don't use your phone very often and aren't a heavy user.
On an unrelated note, a high-density area like shopping malls, concert halls and sports centers is especially great to install 6 GHz (mm wave) cellular towers as it has high throughput capacity.
Help! My battery capacity is at 90% on my iPhone XR and without using but walking for about 5-6 hours, the battery drains by 10-20%. I have 3-4 bars of signal there
When I had the iPhone SE, I remember my phone would die in my pocket from being out in the cold
oh dear
@@TkrzTT the battery would drain fast
Which iPhone SE are you talking about, the iPhone SE 1 ,SE 2 or the SE 3
Best way to preserve battery capacity is just avoid heat at all costs. that means no playing video games on it, no intensive workload on your phone, no direct sun, and don't use max brightness. Additionally, I suggest never letting your battery drop below 20-40%.
P.S. One tip to save battery can be to turn on 'Reduce White Point'. Also, don't worry about over-charging, your phone is smart enough to never over-charge.
EDIT: If battery preservation isn't your main concern when using your phone, then just use your phone however you like! This guide is only for those who really want their phone (and battery) to last as long as possible and extend their phone's lifespan!
The best way to save the battery is not using the phone at all 🤪 No matter what you do, sooner or later battery will degrade. Just enjoy life. The phone's battery is the last what you should worry about.
"The only way to stop stick drift on your switch is to never use it" 🤓👆
Best solution is to use your phone, and enjoy your time with it. Devices degrade, it happens so don't stress about it.
"no playing video games, no intensive workload, no max brightness"
so not using your phone?? There are people who need their phone for this. It's unthinkable that Apple is so incompetent and lazy that I can't play a game for 3 minutes that the brightness comes down due to heat and I can't see shit.
This never happens on my android phone, it is always stable and lets me do everything I need to do at all times. Meanwhile my iPad is limiting me extremely due to so many reasons I can't even list here.
I know that fanboy-ism is annoying but here I'm not even fanboying for a company, I'm just saying the facts that happen when I use my devices and they clearly show the inferiority of Apple.
@@leothehuman_9476 the thing why apple is dimming the screen and reducing the performance while gaming is, the processors used by apple has 4 tpd and a less capacity battery, that's why it limits it's performance
@@leothehuman_9476 This is for all phones, not only apple. While there is no problem using your phone for intensive tasks performance-wise, but all phones will overheat from intensive usage.
Overheating is present in all phones, not only Apple. This overheating leads to degradation of your battery.
Although it's true that Apple is a bit controlling regarding the dimming of the brightness upon overheating, Android phones do also overheat, but they are more flexible and they will not alter your screen brightness settings at all.
I guess for you as a consumer, battery life degradation isn't of a concern for you and you prefer to have more control and flexibility regarding the settings of your phone, thus Android suits your needs more.
If you don't care about your battery life and want to use it in any way you like, feel free to, man. C:
Nice video. But the bars on your phone don't actually tell you the strength of your cell connection, but actually how close you are to an actual cell tower. So having 5 bars doesn't always mean that you have a strong connection
Wow. I've been trying to figure out what the hell was going on with my phone randomly dimming sometimes and not letting me get it past a certain brightness with the settings. At 1:47 this was answered for me and this isn't even what the video is about. Kinda neat to know that now.
I got the OG iPhone SE and I believe Apple does something on purpose to drain their batteries I had decent battery life on 10.3.3 I then decided to upgrade to 14.3 when it was released and I went from 1 day battery life to charging it every 3-4 hours. Then after a couple months I decided to replace the battery. It has little over 2000 mAh capacity and I followed all the instructions that the manufacturer recommended to calibrate the battery; meaning charging it fully and letting it discharge completely for about 5 times or so. Initially I noticed even better battery life compared to 10.3.3 then after about a week the battery drain issue started to appear again for no apparent reason.
what about winters when the temperature goes below zero and the iPhone battery goes crazy and the screen refresh rate fluctuates with unresponsive touch and hangup ultimately.
I had a iPhone 8 and my dad had it before me for a few years and recently it stopped working (battery life was really low and in settings it told me the battery was down to about 70%) now I have an iPhone SE 2022 and the battery is a lot better
I have seen this video having for most days a 2 hour battery life, but none of the issues seem. It may be heat but it’s barely warm. The battery is just barely more than one year old and i pretty consistently get strong 3-4 bars signal.
Can cold be bad for it too? Because I’m on my phone outside in cold weather a lot and I wanna know if I’m just weird abt the bathroom if it’s just going super fast
My iphone 12pro BH drops to 88% after two years. Should i need to replace its battery?
"Industry leading battery life"
Good one bro
I have a question, should we charge iphone by USB-C on Macbook ?
Can you make one on why when I’m in public I get that notification that apples blocked some wifi or something
Okay, I'm a bit confused why the iPhone 14 Pro Max is displayed above the battery symbol even though it's an iPhone 13 Pro Max or iPhone 13 Pro? 0:02
0:49 *Correction* The signal bars indicate the distance from your iphone to the tower and have no direct correlation to strength of speed.
Edit: I took out where it said it doesn’t have a correlation to signal because it was misleading
More distance doesn’t equal bad signal?
@@elias6068 Obviously being very far will create bad signal but my main point is that when you are right next to a cell tower it will show full bars but it may be slower because of traffic. I will edit it so it doesn’t say signal and rather just says speed, thanks for pointing it out.
Same as a car basically, it's not how many years old it is, it's how many miles are on it.
I always charge my iPhone 13 Pro when it's down to 20% or less and never fully charge it. Always only up to about 95%. Therefore, after 1 year of use, I still have 99% of the maximum capacity!
Great video, thanks for your upload!!11OneOneEleven
How many times did u charge ur phone in a day? I only charged till 80%…so I had to charge twice per day
@@nithi3267 Not necessarily. If you deactivate your background updates and are often on the WLAN instead of the mobile network, one battery charge will last you for several days.
I charge my iPhone about every three days!
@@antonbernad952 unfortunately I had to use mobile network …bcz I don’t have Wi-Fi/wlan …..deactivate? U mean turn off background app refresh? Yes did …i have to charge my ip everyday..sometimes twice …it is normal rite?
@@nithi3267 Did you mean "change" ip or "charge" ip, because in ip is not chargeable…
My battery capacity is at 90% I usually plane spot a lot or watch a lot of CZcams videos but even then the battery drains fast I usually let my battery charge when it’s down to 10%
I've had my iphone 13 mini for like 7 months, my battery is at 97 percent capacity. I don't baby my battery I just use my phone however I please. The only thing that I do is that I never let ot drop below 20 or charge below 96 prrcent, and it lasts me for a day and a half 😊
Is it on iOS 16.6?
Outdoors, weak signal, hot weather- so how do iPhones work in the M.East/ Dubai / Saudia ?
Good question hahahaha
Leaving location on uses twice as much battery as location off the only time I leave location on is when I'm navigating if I have a app that absolutely demands me to keep location on then I get rid of that app
Hlo sir plz make one video for me i have one problem in my i phone 14 pro max i dont no what happening 😢 few day i charge my i phone 90 percent and im doing switch off and I turned on the switch again and it went up by itself my battery percent 93 😢😢
Thanks for the advice, I have been charging my iPhone to 100% during the day, so, I won't be charging it unless at 0%.
Disable or limit background app refresh, mail push/fetch and location services.
So... you must turn on flight mode when you have bad signal?
Nice music piece.
I Remember that my iPhone 6 Had weak Battery life. I had to carry a battery bank with me because the battery would constantly drain, I guess I was in areas that had weak cell signal with AT&T a lot. I Eventually switched carriers when I upgraded to the iPhone XR and that phone had Amazing battery life!
coz its have, LCD display instead of OLED.
After I updated to iOS 16 the battery drains so fast and the battery health is 91% mine is iPhone 12 Pro Max
How do you get your battery to look long like that it looks better to me
Thanks for this video
I remember when a phone overheated on me for the 1st time in my life, i was in this ranch i got invited for a bday of a friend i had, the place was an hour away from the city im from, really fun ngl, i was with friends, riding their horses, eating etc... while trying to record a video in the rural area we were and with 40 degrees Celsius of weather made my phone (iPhone 5) overheat really fast and MAN it was horrible, my hand was red! This was back in 2014
Just wanted to ask any OG iPhone SE users on iOS 15.7.2, how long does your battery last?
Mine lasts for around 3.5 to 4 hours SOT in an 18 hours work day, however, it lags a lot from 28% battery goes to 1% in a matter of minutes. Does anyone face a similar issue?
EDIT: my battery health is at 100%
Sometime my battery go out really quickly
These videos are great apple should hire you.
since apple focuses on not only external design but also internal hardware design, i think they put larger batter only in larger iphone.
What’s considered an old iPhone or battery? One year, two years?

Next video suggestion - Why power button on iPhone turns the display on
but..its not like i can get the signal tower closer to me...
1:30 what's up with the increased intensity?
Well, I replaced an old iphone for a Huawei P30 Pro 3.5 years ago and it's the best phone with battery life I've ever had! In the worst case scenario, it can last about two full days, whilst in the best case scneario, it can last 5 days! Battery has been holding up since then and there's no feel of battery degradation yet. Phone is very reliable and I'll be replacing it maybe when it has reached 6 years of use. I hope that by then, iPhone batteries will be as reliable as my current phone.
Turn of location services, wifi, bluetooth from settings. Also background app refresh.
Turn on low power and dark mode.
Change the phone lol
I bought iphone 14 pro a few days ago, battery life is underwhelming, I am getting 5.5 to 8 hours of sceeen on time with moderate usage. Its really incosistent, yesterday I got 8.5h screen on time, was editing videos on capcut for 3 hours and lost only 35% without heat and today I was streaming deezer and it was heating up and watching youtube and I lost 19% in hour and a half, is there someting wrong with my unit? Im going to backup everything to icloud and try factory reset before replacing it. P.s. I have location and background usage turned off, with most of the preloaded apps deleted.
Update, its been backing up, resetting and now downloading backup, lost 7% in the past 25 min doing all the heavy tasks and the heat was worse when only deezer was playing with screen off, I think deezer might be the issue here, streaming music shouldnt be so cpu heavy as backing up and downloading and installing 15 apps at the same time
i get 8-9 hours with my a52s midrange phone from samsung seems like android isnt that much weaker
@@fuzer4047 Samsung is a beast, I came from a71 and it still has better battery life than 14 pro 😂 but it also has a bigger battery while being overall slower and lower brightness so I guess it's a trade off, maybe should have went for pro max but it was just too big, apple needs a size right in between, pro max cant hold it, pro is sometimes too narrow to type with two hands..
I was walking in that Disney resort in flordia with the water park ( I forgot what it’s called) and then out of no where my phone died. I couldn’t charge it or turn it back on and I assumed it was water damage. Afterwards I brought It to the Apple Store where I was told the battery’s life went down and I needed to spend 60-70$ on a replacement. I NEVER knew why that happened bc they didn’t say, but now I think it’s overheating 😳😂
My screen time though 💀💀
The heat also increasse the eletrical resistence of the components inside your phone, that means it will drain a lot more to do the same task that's why if you are contatiling travelling (like me) you can drain the full battery of praticaly any phone i had the iphone 13 pro max recentely and i know is one of the best battery life but in less than two hours in stand by just with lte turned on it drained 13 % of it's battery with is the same as whatching a video on youtube with wifi, i decided to go back to my galaxy m51 because while the iphone drained 12 % the m51 drain 5 to 6% i have killed the 13 pro max 3 times, before 5 pm and until now i never was abble to but the m51 charge at 10 pm with lessa than 20% left.
My new iPhone lasts a very long time. I can't really get it to drain completely in one day even if I try. Even tethering my computers to its WiFi doesn't seem to make a big dent in battery.
How can you have this much information about apple
thanks to solving the problem with my iphone 12 😀
its more a problem with iphones because old iphones had small batries so when the 1st year is over and its not the latest iphone and no longer gets priority optimazation it has much worse battery life
my 2016 S7 edge with light use lasted me thourght the day even until 2020
but my 2017 iphone x barely got through half a day even when i was just texting
and my friend who has an iphone 7 plus has his battery on 10% by 2pm and he basically just uses it for calling
2:04 “So to optimise your iPhone's battery life, make sure it isn't too old” 😂LMAO🤣🤣🤣
All of those are true, but like: There is no way to “choose” our signal strength.
You can put your phone on airplane mode when you know you’re about to go somewhere you know the signal is weak.
funny enough i had an old iphone, it wouldn’t charge and turn on. one day i got a blow dryer and heated the back of my phone and plugged it into a charger and it turned on. did that for about 2 months till i got a new phone. no idea how that worked
My battery literate last 10 hours on CZcams
Did you smoke something last night?
yeh i work out door with 50 to 60c most often very weak signal

That happened with my iPhone to
You have forgotten that the battery life doesn’t last long sometimes in the cold
I’ll be asleep and my battery would drain 5-8%, with background turned off
I remember I broke my iphone 12 because I was so frustrated that it shut off even at 10%
But the problem was my battery's health was at 84%
12 pro’s battery maybe dies way too fast.
Somehow I’ve managed to hit all three with my iPhone 6s while leaving in town next to a forest where it can heat to 40c in summer

0:02 um are we not talking about the notch when it said iPhone 14 Pro Max?

My bf is iphone 14 user. The problem is the battery die so fast even he is not always using it. Im iphone 13 user too but my battery is okay. We live in the same tempearture and signal.
My android phone has power saving options which include limiting CPU clock speed, limiting open background apps, and the one I love the most is decreasing the resolution of my 1440p display to 1080p or 720p. That makes a huge difference.
yeah but it makes your phone slow
