MORE IPHONE TIPS
There are three settings on your iPhone that can help you drastically save battery.
This includes using dark mode for your entire iPhone with iOS dark mode, in-app dark mode, and reducing the number of apps on your phone.
Dark mode conserves your charge by minimizing the amount of energy required to activate the display pixels.
You only want to keep official apps from the App Store on your phone and delete others that might be draining your battery in the background.
Also, there is a hidden culprit that might eat up a large chunk of your iPhone’s storage space.
If you’re recording video, this is the 4K setting.
A 60-second video filmed in 4K resolution takes up a whopping 475 MB.
While a 10-minute 4K video can take up to 4GB of storage.
To disable the 4K setting, go to Settings > Camera > Record Video.
