A common iPhone mistake that slightly degrades battery life is to close apps unnecessarily every day. While many users overlook this habit, Apple has emphasized that leaving apps in a “suspended” state—they are not actively in use, open, or using system resources—can significantly improve battery life. For example, an app dropped into a suspended state can be resumed for a short time, which is much more efficient than re Nosing it from scratch during a battery drain. This means you can keep apps on, especially settings, notifications, and connections, without losing battery charges.
There are additional ways to optimize battery health. Checking your phone’s battery life reveals which apps drain the most charge, allowing you to clean out less critical features or settings instead of using up battery life. Turning off background apps or accidentally switching to another program, even blacking out the active app, can also improve battery life. Apple suggests this option may save power during frequent charge cycles, as each charge typically reduces performance over time.
The iPhone 16 Pro and Beyond series definitely excel in charge quality, reducing battery degradation by 80%. These models have advanced features like charge limiting tech and faster charging capabilities. While battery life tends to suffer in worst-case scenarios, these upgrades prioritize user satisfaction over performance loss, showing sustained improvements.
