It's tough to exist without a smartphone these days, and with so much of our life contained inside these tiny devices, we don't want them running out of juice at an inopportune time.
The iPhone XS Max has nearly a 10-hour battery life. And Apple last year offered cheap battery replacements after it was caught secretly slowing down older iPhones. But everyone would love to eke out a few more minutes (or hours) from their smartphone.
No, you don't have to disable everything; many individual features can be quickly toggled on or off. Here is what you can do right now to boost your iPhone's battery life, and hopefully make it through the day without having to recharge.
One of your strongest weapons against battery drain is Low Power Mode. With it enabled, your phone only performs the most essential of tasks, so background activities like downloads and mail fetching are disabled.
Low Power Mode will automatically kick in when the battery falls below 20 percent, but you can also activate it manually to keep your phone going for longer (though it will only work if your phone's battery is below 80 percent).
