Remove lock screen widgets

Lock screen widgets can drain battery by constantly updating their information. Remove any unnecessary widgets. How to turn off: Turn on the iPhone display and hold the lock screen > select 'Customize' > remove frequently updated widgets.

Reduce refresh rate

The new iPhone Pro model has a 120Hz refresh rate. But that too can drain the battery quickly. Setting it to 60 Hz will drain the battery. How to: Turn on 'Limit Frame Rate' in Settings > Accessibility > Motion.

Turn off background app refresh

Apps that refresh themselves in the background drain the battery. Turn off this feature to save battery. How to: Go to Settings > General > Background App Refresh and turn it off completely or for specific apps.

Use optimized charging

Optimized charging helps extend battery life by controlling charging speed based on your routine. Check if this feature is enabled or not. How to: Go to Settings > Battery > Battery health and charging > Optimized charging. For the iPhone 15 series, you can set the charging cap to 80 percent.
