I don’t get people that are overly obsessed with preserving their battery health. Replacing a battery is very cheap, and even with heavy use you shouldn’t need to change it more than every two years or so…
If you are at the point of buying an iPhone 15 PM and disabling live activities, disabling always on display, removing widgets, etc, you are condemning yourself to a relatively poor user experience for very little gain IMO.
Also, it’s surprising that this article says nothing about charging method (wired vs MagSafe)
The discerning power user would never just shut off all features. “One at a time and test” is the order of business for anybody who values the money they’re going to spend on this device.
Why on earth would anyone follow these steps? Literally go and buy a Nokia 3350 if all you want is a phone that has a long battery. You buy an iPhone for the mentioned features - this is just fear-mongering and people should just use their phones as intended, not purposely nerf them. Each to their own I guess 🤷♂️
The article was just mentioning things you can do to use less battery. It didn’t say you had to do ALL of them!
Tip 20: Skip this year's models
You could also skip eating because the Ghost Pepper, if used carelessly, can put you in the hospital. Better not eat any peppers of any kind!
Turn off every feature, got it 👍
Again, where does the article say you have to turn off EVERY feature?
”I like pancakes!”
“Why do you hate waffles so much?”
”Wait…what?”
Why even have a phone, I guess.
“I like cake and ice cream.”
“What do you have against pies? And milkshakes? You should just skip all deserts for the rest of your life!”
right? it’s unfortunate how many things have to be turned off or adjusted to preserve battery.
I personally like getting the most out of my iPhones so I have a lot of the things in the article turned on.
I have AppleCare and chargers are always around so I’m not worried about loss of battery life or it aging quickly.
At least you have a strategy.
I swear, a lot of people just need to calm down and take a breath. I barely got through the first page of responses and all I read is people who DON’T HAVE the new iPhone are all telling the rest of us not to get one, or to just shut off all the features.
Seriously, it’s going to be the CALM and LEVELHEADED person who’s going to benefit the most from the iPhone 15. You may be a minority of customers, but YOU will be the most successful power users. You will be patient. You will, if needed, choose one or two features to disable just because they’ll be too annoying to leave active. Then you might choose one or two features you can do without, and that will bring your battery drain into something resembling a WORKABLE strategy.
The rest of us really should calm down. Or maybe we’re just not suitable to be users for the advanced hardware that Apple makes…advanced hardware that basically pampers the average user to the point of annoyance.
You know I’m right! 😉😄
