No matter how often you charge your iPhone battery, there’s a chance you’re still dealing with it running out of steam after a few hours. The key may not be to charge your phone more often, but to instead take advantage of some of the great hacks that tech experts are relying on to prolong the life of your iPhone battery when it’s not on its charger. From knowing which power adapter to use to simply becoming aware of the modes your phone offers that are a breeze to turn on and will make all of the difference in battery life, becoming more familiar with tech hacks can make a huge difference in the longevity of your device. Three tech experts spoke with SHEFInds.com to provide their life-changing charging hacks that all Apple employees use for a better battery life.
Low Power Mode
Let’s start with the simplest way to get more from a taxed iPhone battery: enable a feature on your phone called Low Power Mode, says Harriet Chan, co-founder of CocoFinder.
“As you use your iPhone, you may always need to connect it to a charger,” Chan says. But what if you discover a life-changing hack to help increase the battery life? That hack is using your iPhone on low power mode. With this tool, your iPhone will remain powered up.”
Typically, Low Power Mode enables you to use your phone while saving up to 30% of the power, Chan confirms. “You will notice that once you activate the low power mode, your screen dims. It also turns off some features that run in the background, like automatic downloads. One thing that you will love is that your phone’s performance will be optimized.
To activate this tool, go to Battery Settings, then find the Low Power Mode. Make sure to turn it on.”
Turn On Airplane Mode
Another feature that you can easily enable for better battery life is Airplane Mode, says Katherine Brown, the founder of Spyic, a company engaged in parental control and remote monitoring programs.
“If your iPhone is inactive and not connected to any networks, just turn on the Airplane mode,” Brown says. “This also applies when you are flying, or have no hope of getting signals. Making this move stops your iPhone from searching for networks, which have an adverse effect on your battery life. To activate the Airplane mode: Click on settings, toggle for Airplane mode button at the top, hit the button to activate, [and] make sure the button brightens to signify active Airplane mode.”
Use an iPad Power Adapter
Finally, the tools you use to charge your phone make a difference.

“Using an iPad power adapter will quickly charge the iPhone and the battery would last longer,” says Tech Expert Nathan Hughes, the Marketing Director at DiggityMarketing. “The higher power wattage boosts the battery and the phone would be fully charged in 15 minutes. The 10W or 12W adapters would be better to quickly charge the phone.”
Three simple steps — one amazing outcome: an iPhone that will run for longer with a stronger battery life.
