I always assumed it was because they were constantly leaving their phone plugged in past 100% and unplugging and plugging it back in frequently and that was the reason for...

    New to apple watch

    Just got an Apple watch and my job doesn't allow me to bring my phone in with me. Is there a setting or something I can do to save battery life on the watch while I'm at work, so the watch doesn't constantly search for my iPhone?

    Good browser for battery life?

    Just wondering bc Safari is not very nice to my SE’s battery life on 11.0.1. I know Safari probably can’t be beat in terms of battery because it’s made by Apple but is there any third party browsers that are somewhat light on battery life?
