The fast draining of battery life on your device can be unnerving.
Apple’s new operating system came packed with a great variety of
features.
Unfortunately, though one of the consequences is iOS 11
battery life draining incredibly fast. Since Tuesday, when iOS 11
launched, until today we experienced an enormous amount of comments that
tackle Apple devices running out of juice after the upgrade.
In fact, it is said that the battery life drains twice as fast than
it did on its previous version, iOS 10. Fortunately, there are several
methods to overcome such unsettling issue and below we will take a look
at some of them.
Wandera has made the challenge to determine the difference in battery
emptying on iOS 11 compared to iOS 10. They tasted a group of people
who are using iPhone and iPad on a daily basis. They also made sure
those people run iOS 11 and iOS 10, and then they compared the average
battery decay rate since upgrading to iOS 11.
Wandera’s data clearly shows the average draining time for an iOS 10
device to drop from 100% to 0%. That time is 240 minutes and to
determine it, Wandera tested users who either use their devices
moderately and hardcore.
When Wandera did the same for the iOS 11 users, devices ran out of
juice in only 96 minutes, averagely. That being said, there is 60%
difference between iOS 10 and iOS 11 battery life draining.
Users affected the most by this unreasonable drainage are those who use older devices, such as iPhone 5S.
It is believed that the battery life will improve once people start
using iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus, especially when the long-expected,
iPhone X starts shipping at the beginning of November. If you use an old
iPhone or iPad, we have bad news for you, as devices affected by this
unreasonable battery drain are mostly older device users.
If you are one of those people who experience the abnormal changes in
how your battery life works, read this compelling guide to see what can
you do to extend your iOS 11 battery life.
#1 Check how much battery do your apps use
It is not a secret that apps, especially games and social networks
drain a lot of your battery. In order to find out what is the app
consuming the most of your battery go to Settings and then navigate to
the Battery. You will be greeted with the list of apps that abuse your
battery the most in last 24 hours and last 7 days.
Around the right edge of the screen, you will see how much has each
app run actively or in the background. That information will allow you
to learn how to maintain the apps you run and, perhaps, disable them in
order to preserve your phone’s juice.
#2 Lower Screen Brightness
We know that keeping your brightness up can help you handle your
alerts and apps while on the go. However, you’d be surprised if you knew
how much of an impact brightness has on your battery life. This one is
at least easy, you can reduce the brightness by lowering the bar in
Control Center.
Still, there is another, useful option. Auto-Brightness is a setting
which can adjust the brightness based on ambient light. However, this
feature is more useful for the night-owls that like to text during the
night.
It is recommended, however, that you adjust the brightness rate
manually. Auto-brightness during the day will tend to keep the
brightness near maximum, while on the night, it will lower it. That
ratio still respectably drains the juice off your phone. Still, if you
would like to rely on auto-brightness, there is a new way to set it. Go
to Settings, tap General, then tap Accessibility and then adjust it in
Display Accommodations.
#3 Low Power Mode
Low Power Mode is a useful perk that disables several functions
including “Hey Siri,” background app refresh, email fetch and adjusts
Auto-Lock to 30 seconds. If your battery hit 20% before, you will see
iOS alerting you about the low-battery percentage and will turn Low
Power Mode for you if you want.
