How to properly and safely charge an iPhone after purchase? No battery calibration

Hi all! It would seem that the answer to this question is quite simple and you need to charge the iPhone exactly so much time until the charge is full and its indicator continues to light up next to the battery icon. As soon as the battery indicator turns green and is completely full, that’s it, you can safely turn off the charger. Logical? Of course!

However, there is another side to the issue. For example, some users want to know the exact number of hours and minutes that an iPhone should be charged. And they have the right to do so - such data is never superfluous. Also, I am especially often asked about how long a new, just purchased iPhone should be recharged.

In general, I can only explain all this fuss about “charging time” by the fact that there is still some kind of magic hovering around the iPhone. Beginners are afraid of doing something wrong and damaging the device in some way, even when it comes to something as simple as recharging. Looking ahead, I can note that this is practically impossible. But first things first, let's get started!

The first thing you need to pay attention to is that charging times, even for two identical iPhones, will never be 100% the same. The rate at which energy is filled depends on many factors, and here are some of them:

• How full the battery is initially.
• Is the original wire (power supply) used?
• Where does the power come from (computer or outlet).
• Adapter power. For example, Apple officially charges the iPhone. And of course, in this case everything will go much faster.
• Is the smartphone in airplane mode, connected to Wi-Fi or cellular networks, etc.

And this is not all the moments! So if your friend’s phone charges in 2 hours, and yours in 2 hours 30 minutes, then this in no way means that you have a defect, and you should run to change it.

However, there are some average iPhone charging times:

A few important notes about this table:

• This refers to how long it takes to charge from 0 to 100%.
• Some models were combined into one line due to the fact that their battery capacity differs only slightly, and it makes no sense to check the time with an accuracy of minutes.
• The data is indicated when using a standard (included) power supply.
• All figures are approximate, just for reference. You may have more or less.

Useful feature! Useful for those who want to charge faster - use airplane mode. In places with an unstable cellular network signal, such an operation will help speed up the process by 20-30%.

It is also important to remember these things:

1. Up to 80% of the iPhone is so-called fast charging, the next 20% is much slower.
2. How long does it take to charge new and newly purchased iPhones? The same amount as those already used. Without any frills or distortions (like fully charging three times, then completely discharging, etc.). Modern batteries do not require such calibrations.
3. When it reaches full charge, there is no need to run and rush to turn it off. Nothing bad will happen - there are special controllers built into the iPhone itself, the power supply and even the cable that will prevent the smartphone from being “oversaturated” with energy and thus deteriorating.
4. iPhone can be charged many times. Not even that. A lot of times! Why? Read my personal experience about how I did it after 2.5 years of use and what happened to it.

Conclusion: charge your iPhone as much as it (and most importantly, you!) needs. Don't chase exact indicators and don't complicate your life.

P.S. I forgot to say that every “+1” to the article is +10% to the health of the battery. Such a bonus will definitely not be superfluous, right? Don't be shy and "like"! :)

P.S.S. Do you have any questions or questions? Feel free to ask them in the comments - we’ll try to solve your problem together!

The charging time of a smartphone is a very important indicator, because it often happens when we forget to charge it in the morning before work or study, and then leave 15 minutes later. Therefore, there is nothing strange in the fact that we are interested in how long it will take to charge a particular device. The author of the SuperSaf TV channel decided to be the first to compare the current flagship phablets iPhone 7 Plus, Galaxy S7 Edge and Pixel XL on the charging speed of their batteries. Naturally, he succeeded, and the results may surprise you.

All three devices have batteries of varying capacities, but not all support fast charging. The iPhone has a battery with a capacity of 2900 mAh, the Pixel XL received a power supply of 3450 mAh, and the most capacious battery is the Galaxy S7 Edge - 3600 mAh. Only Apple's phablet lacks fast charging technology, but it has the smallest battery, so the results should be obvious, right? The test started at 1 percent and continued until it was fully charged - 100%.

The video blogger, according to him, used original chargers. After the first 30 minutes, the test author looked at the results. During this time, the Apple iPhone 7 Plus charged up to 18%, the Galaxy S7 Edge up to 46%, and the Pixel XL up to 24%. The next check took place after the second 30 minutes, that is, an hour after the start of the test, what did we see? During this time, the Samsung smartphone reached 85%, the Pixel XL - 54%, and the iPhone 7 Plus managed to charge only to 36%.

Oddly enough, the Galaxy S7 Edge, the smartphone with the largest battery, finished first. He did it in 1 hour and 29 minutes. Over the same period of time, the 7 Plus was only half charged (54%), and the Google Phone on fast charging reached 84%. Exactly 34 minutes later, the Pixel XL was charged to 100%, it came second, as you would expect. As for the iPhone 7 Plus, its battery finished charging in a total of 3 hours and 27 minutes, roughly an hour after the Galaxy S7 Edge completed its race.

Of course, you could use an iPad charger for charging, which would allow the iPhone to reach its goal much faster, but that would be unfair. We recommend watching this video yourself.

I'm sure any of you charge your own iPhone in a haphazard manner. Having a battery “power reserve” equal to one astronomical day, we always try to recharge on the go... even if by 10-20%. On the other hand, almost every night our iPhones “fry” on charge for more than 7 hours. In this article we will find out how true charge iPhone and how such erratic connections with the charger affect the life of the battery. Go!

How to properly charge an iPhone?

AppCent - pays real money behind installation of free applications. Tested - works: http://bit.ly/wylsaappcent.

Well, now some of you will say, “Wow, what the hell are you telling us... " I agree... no one ever has any special questions about charging the iPhone. But! There are a couple of fascinating aspects that not many people know about. So, I tried to collect all these aspects and post them in one article... For your general development! Read - it will be informative and interesting!

Correctly charging the new iPhone.

There are many theories floating around about how to properly charge a new iPhone. I’ll tell you how I usually do it myself. There is nothing like that here, it’s just that, if you think sensibly, then the first couple of charging cycles are better done according to the annotation below:

1 With your iPhone out of the box, connect it to the charger.

2 After the iPhone is charged to 100%, feel free to use it and let it discharge completely.

3 After the battery is completely drained and the iPhone turns off, connect it to the charger again.

4 Charge your phone to 100% without using it while charging.

It will be better if you do a couple of full charge/discharge cycles. Then you can charge the phone as you are used to doing before. Read about other aspects below.

Should I leave my iPhone on charge overnight?

In order to answer this question, you need to truly understand what happens to your iPhone after connecting it to the power adapter. It’s worth saying right away that the charging process of the iPhone battery (like all modern devices) is controlled by the charging controller integrated into the iPhone. This controller does not allow the battery to be overcharged, and at the same time tries to charge it in the shortest reasonable time. With all this, up to 80% of the battery is charged at a fairly fast pace, and the last 20%, on the contrary, is charged in slow motion.

Once the battery is charged, the charge controller turns off the power supply. The battery seems to be left alone, without transferring or taking charge from it. In this case, the phone itself is powered from the charger. In other words, during this period of time the battery and NOT charging, and does NOT discharge. Therefore, the myth that after reaching 100% charge, the battery goes into a repeating discharge/recharge mode is complete nonsense. If this were the case, the battery would be subject to additional wear and tear. Which, in fact, no one needs.

Okay... Now let's look at another fact. It doesn't matter which battery is prone to self-discharge. This is a completely normal process of losing charge, provided the battery is not connected to anything. Lithium-polymer batteries have a self-discharge rate of 5% per month, which is actually very low (compared to other types of batteries).

The charge controller, of course, periodically checks the remaining charge of the battery and if it detects a significant loss of charge, it will begin a new charging cycle. This situation will arise only after the loss of more than 2% of the charge, which in turn can occur no more often than once every two weeks. So, if you leave your iPhone on charge for a whole month, then perhaps the integrated battery will undergo a repeated charging cycle once or twice.

CONCLUSION: From the above it follows that BY LEAVING THE IPHONE ON CHARGING ALL NIGHT, YOU DO NOT HARM IT AT ALL.

Which power adapter should I use?

A standard iPhone power adapter (5V, 1A, 5W) will fully charge the average phone in approximately 1 hour 30 minutes. I can't say anything more about this adapter. Well, he's ordinary...

Some theories about Apple power adapters.

They all have a voltage of 5 volts (V), but different current, which is measured in amperes (A) and power, which is measured in watts (W). These three quantities are related to each other by the usual formula: V x A = W.

Example 1: 5V and 1A power adapter has 5W power (standard iPhone charging)

Example 2: a 5V and 2.1A power adapter will already have a power of 10W (charging for iPad)

Can I use the iPad's power adapter to charge? iPhone? The answer to this question is YES, YOU CAN And here the smartest one of you should say, “Why are you soaring again!” This is harmful to the battery! " Good good! Let's look into this issue too...

First! On the official Apple website there is a page on which it is written in black and white “Even though the power adapter is designed for iPad, you can also charge any model of iPhone or iPod with it...” And they wrote this not at all because they want to quickly sell you a new battery .

Yes, there really is a myth that charging your iPhone with an iPad charger can quickly ruin your phone’s battery. I can assure you that this is absolutely not true! The charger (as we used to call it - charging) that you plug into the outlet is not a charger at all, but a regular DC power adapter. iPhone charging is located inside the iPhone itself and is the same charging controller that we talked about above. It is this module that decides what current to use when charging the iPhone battery.

There is another myth that using an iPad charger can charge your iPhone 2 times faster. Unfortunately, this is not entirely true. Only starting with the sixth generation of iPhone, Apple taught its phones to fast charge from an iPad adapter, and even then not 2 times faster. Previous iPhone models do not have this feature.

Chinese power adapter (Charger)

I don’t even want to consider Chinese chargers. And I DO NOT recommend using them! Why? Yes, because most of them are of dubious quality! Moreover, the characteristics declared by the manufacturer almost always differ from the real ones. You have the right to use them, but when smoke comes out of your iPhone and it stops charging, you will remember what I told you.

A separate article is coming in which we will look at how to distinguish the original power adapter for iPhone from a Chinese counterfeit.

Non-original Lightning cable.

This is the case with lightning cables. As you know, inside the Lightning plug there is a chip that is used for device authentication and a number of other functions. Without this chip (chip), the cable simply will not be accepted by the iPhone itself. Apple cooperates with some manufacturers of accessories for iOS devices and supplies lightning chips only to authorized ones. Products from such manufacturers are usually marked MFI (Made For iPhone).

The Chinese, in turn, managed to make a clone of this chip and successfully use it in cables, which they then sell for 0.98 on the AliExpress website. Although such cables work, they usually do not last long. I have tried many cables and I can say the following - I have nothing against non-original Lightning cables, but I still advise you to purchase them for more or less adequate money. What you get for $0.98 cannot possibly match the quality of the original. I strongly recommend to everyone the excellent lightning cable from Ugreen, which is certified by Apple and, accordingly, is of very high quality and good quality (link to AliExpress).

Car charger.

Car chargers are generally EVIL Well, more precisely, CHEAP CHINESE car chargers significantly increase the chance that you will ruin the iPhone charging/power controller. I advise everyone to familiarize themselves with this problem, which I wrote about in detail in a separate article “Replacing the iPhone power and charging controller” (link). The thing is that the car electrical network is far from being a standard for voltage/current stability, and those cheap car chargers that many people use cannot protect the phone from surges in the car’s electrical network. If you are faced with a problem when your phone stops charging, does not even accept the original charger and cable, takes a very long time to charge or does not charge completely - most likely the problem is a damaged charging controller. And believe me, in 90% of such cases, car chargers are to blame.

If you really spend most of your working day on the road and it is vital for you to charge your iPhone from your car's cigarette lighter, don't skimp on buying a car charger. It’s better to overpay a couple of dollars, but get a obviously high-quality branded item. Personally, I like the products of Ugreen, which I wrote about above. All the products I have purchased from them inspire confidence and really work. Regarding car charging, I can recommend this one (link to AliExpress) ... and it costs quite reasonable money. The simplest one at 5V and 1A (which is just right for charging an iPhone in a car) costs 6.99.

Long-term iPhone storage.

If for some reason you decide to put your iPhone away for long-term storage, be sure to follow the rules below:

Charge your iPhone to about 50%. Storing the device with a fully charged battery may result in the battery losing some of its original capacity. Conversely, if you store the device with a completely discharged battery, it may go into a deep discharge state; Turn off the device; Store the device in a dry place with an ambient temperature of no more than 32C; If your iPhone is going to sit on the shelf for more than six months, charge it to 50% every 6 months.

So how to properly charge your iPhone? As you probably understood from the article, there are no special rules. The iPhone has built-in foolproof protection (also known as a power controller) so that any user does not have to worry about charging the phone. As a personal example, I used an iPhone 4S for four years and charged it chaotically. Most often it was fully charged overnight, but sometimes I had to connect it to the power adapter during the day. And what happened to the battery after 4 years? Yes, nothing happened... She still holds on, plus or minus one day. So don't worry too much about charging your iPhone. Charge it whenever you want and How many want to. The main thing is not to use dubious Chinese chargers.

Good afternoon, the phone is frozen with a blue screen. the color changes to black. streaks may appear. what to do??

I would try to reflash it (restore it in iTunes). But to be honest, it looks like some kind of hardware failure. This can be either the screen or motherboard components. It's hard to say remotely...

Hello, please tell me, I have a new iPhone 6, I’ve been using it for 3 months and lately the phone has been turning off by 3-5 percent. I charge exclusively with the Apple unit. Should I take it to a service center?

Murat, don’t bother yourself so much! It is quite normal for the phone to turn off at 3%.

I have a 4s problem that when I make a call, it doesn’t matter whether it’s outgoing or incoming, the caller can’t hear me for several seconds, this problem was pointed out by a bunch of friends, the sound is blurry.

Is it possible to charge an iPhone 6s using a 5s charger?

Press and hold the device's lock button and the Home button. Hold it until it turns off, then after 5-10 minutes press the Home button. After turning on your device, wait about an hour before you start using it. P.s. To prevent this from happening again (I'm talking about the blue screen), do not overload the phone. This is due to processor overload.

Hello, I broke my iPhone, its screen module was broken, but when it broke, when I was charging it, it made some kind of “sounds”, a month later I’m charging it, but there are no sounds yet, what could this mean.

Good afternoon Yesterday I changed the battery, since the original one was completely dead and practically did not hold a charge. The new battery yesterday turned off the phone by 18% after which the phone did not turn on at all. I went to the service center, they installed a new one and the fault was that the battery was defective. I arrived home with a new battery, by this time the phone had turned off and I put it on charge. It took an hour and a half to charge up to 35%, but by the morning it seemed to still be charged to 100%. By lunchtime the phone dropped by 6% and did not respond to the original charge. I took the Chinese one from a colleague, turned on the phone, inserted it into the original one and a message appeared that the cable was not certified. I went back to the technician, they installed a new battery again, and it seems like now they say the problem is in the board. Now the phone spent 2 hours charging again and only reached 50%. At the same time, it discharges quickly. Tell me, what could it be? The service center just said that repairs in case of a problem with the board would cost about 6 thousand.

Batraz, recently one person wrote in the comments who had similar problems. It turned out that the reason for this was the charging controller (this is a chip on the board). I'm sure this is your problem too. Find a normal service center where they can replace the charging controller. The issue price is usually 4 thousand rubles.

Hello. 4 days ago I bought an iPhone 5S, it had more than half charge, within two days I completely used it up and set it to charge for 2 hours. I didn't touch the phone at all. On many sites it is written that a new iPhone needs to be charged for at least 12 hours.

Question: Will this affect my device in any way?

Sergey, never mind. Charge your phone the way you want, the way you want. The charging controller will do all the work for you.

Hello! My iPhone 5S began to charge from 3 to 100% in more than 24 hours. If left on charge at 100%, the back wall heats up and the charge drops to 80%. Change the controller?

Vladimir, change the charging controller.

Answer Ekaterina's question, please. I have a similar problem.

Please answer Ekaterina. I have the same problem with my phone draining. How long does it take to replace a battery?

Hello, today somehow the phone was completely discharged, it was charged to 100%, at the last moment of use it was 93%, an hour later I turn on the phone, and it is turned off and shows that it needs to be charged. There was also an economy mode, the phone was more than half a year old, is this dangerous? Can it break?

If the phone turns off by 20%, and even more so by 50 or even 90-100%, this indicates that the battery is already dead. It needs to be changed. This behavior indicates that when loading applications, energy consumption increases sharply, and the battery (even though it shows 100% charge) cannot provide the necessary power. Change.

Also read here.

I can’t understand whether it’s charging or not when the iPhone is charging when it’s turned off, the icon doesn’t appear like on my old iPhones there’s a large green battery with a battery and percentage signs? Only when it’s on can you understand that it’s charging in the upper right corner.

I charged my 6s plus in the refrigerator for about a year so as not to overheat the battery. But I mistakenly put it in the freezer overnight. I couldn't turn it on this morning. So what's now?

Try putting your iPhone in the microwave for five minutes. Defrost mode! It should help you.

I also see this for the first time...

The question is, how long will it take for the iPad mini to charge while charging the iPhone? I understand that charging the iPad is twice as powerful, does this mean that it will take twice as long to charge?

Madi, I haven’t tried it, I don’t know. Try it, and then write to us. Good question, by the way. I became interested myself.

I don’t even know, in 30 minutes. 15%, it turns out to get to 100% in about 3.5 hours... Is this normal, until now I didn’t even pay attention to the charging speed? By the way, the cable is not original, does it also affect the speed?

3.5 hours to charge the iPad and not 2A charging is normal.

I forgot to charge my iPhone after purchase. I bought it and have been using it for a week now. What should I do?

Hello! I have this problem. A year ago, my sister bought an iPhone 5s and asked me to install iCloud. I installed and configured everything myself. The phone worked fine for a year and recently began to often ask me to enter my Cloud password. At the same time, a window appears with a message that iCloud is blocked. I found out from my sister that she entered the wrong password several times and perhaps that’s why she was blocked! The phone works fine at times, but sometimes this password request prevents you from logging into programs, appearing endlessly. I tried to log into iCloud, but I couldn’t because the messages weren’t coming to my email and my sister didn’t remember the answers to the security questions. Help me please! Waiting for an answer!

Hello! Can I charge an iPhone 6s with an iPhone 5s charger?

What can happen if 4s is kept at the same time all the time, so it’s time to charge 53 m.

Dima, maybe the power controller is screwed up, or maybe the charging cable.

What could be the problem with the cable?

Dimon, not “what”, but what... This is the second time you’ve written with mistakes! I'll put a two in my diary! The cable may also fail... become bent, frayed, etc. I had this happen. The iPhone was charging up to 60% and stopped... I replaced the cable and everything became normal.

Good afternoon, I bought 7 and didn’t put it on charge, completely discharged it and then put it back in normally?

Can I use the 4s while it's charging?

What else could it be? I changed the battery, it doesn’t charge and overloads every minute, it’s at five percent and doesn’t change and doesn’t change?

When it's overloaded while charging, I forgot to add it.

“I don’t even want to consider Chinese chargers. And I don’t recommend using them! Why?"

But apple is made purely in the USA and their SZUs are not Chinese at all! Yes?

Maxik, by the phrase “Chinese chargers” I mean what is bought on AliExpress. How slow-witted you are... (((

I changed the battery to a naturally hicopy one on my 6s, at some points the phone hesitates, I’m writing - it’s catching up with me, what could be the problem.

Good evening! The question is, if you charge your iPhone with a portable charger, does it also affect the battery life?

It all depends on the quality of the portable charger. If you use cheap, crappy chargers, your apartment may burn down...

Normal power banks (for example mi) work great and do not affect the phone’s battery in any way. But there are also fakes using the same “mi”.

Hello! I would like to consult with you. Is there something wrong with my iPhone 6m?? Everything was fine until warnings began to appear saying there was little memory, although I cleaned everything and deleted almost all applications. With the release of a new update, the memory appeared again and then became clogged very quickly. In general, I had to wait for a new update every time. Then I launched WhatsApp, all the chats were deleted and it was not possible to restore them using the backup copy (it stupidly became empty). Now this happens all the time, almost every day everything is deleted. Applications in the app store do not download. Photos from the camera roll are constantly deleted and restored. The phone turns off by itself. Do you think it's worth doing a reset to factory settings? Thanks in advance for your answer!

More precisely, can this help solve the problem?

Dilya, we must first deal with the warnings about lack of space... Do they relate to the phone memory or the iCloud cloud? You probably have a lot of photos. Transfer them to your computer and then delete them on your phone.

Both here and there it says that it’s not in memory, although I don’t synchronize photos with iCloud. Not many photos.

Dilya, we need to clean it. There are most likely old backups hanging in iCloud that have taken up all the space and need to be deleted. Find out what exactly takes up the lion's share of your phone's memory by going here: Settings - General - Storage and iCloud - Management

Is it harmful to charge your iPhone at 50%? Thank you!

Alexander, no harm. Personally, I use it if I know that I won’t be able to recharge soon, and I’ll have to use the phone a lot.

Hello, what should I do if iPhone activation pops up on the screen and you need to enter the ID password, but I don’t know the password and I also can’t access the email address to which it is linked.

What to do, what to do? Return the phone to the owner, otherwise they will close you down for stealing.

Is it necessary to discharge and charge an iPhone after purchase, and if so, how many hours should it be charged?

Charge fully once and then discharge completely. Then charge up to 100% and continue as your heart desires...

Hello. And I can’t understand whether the phone needs to be charged for 24 hours after purchase. Or do a branch of full charges and discharges... When buying it was 60%, discharged it, now it’s on charge.

Marina, charge the phone to 100%, then use it as usual until it discharges to 0. Then charge the phone again to 100%... After that, charge as you want.

Lately I noticed that the phone sits down at home in a warm place by 5-6 percent, when you put it on charge it comes back (for the last 3 weeks I’ve been constantly charging the phone from a Chinese power bank), what should I do, please help.

Sofia, over what period of time does the phone discharge by 5-6 percent? Chinese chargers are evil!

Hello. I was charging my iPhone 7, but it stopped charging. The cable works, but the charging unit itself does not. A few days later, the same situation with charging from an iPhone 5s, the same 7th was charging. What could be the reason why the charging unit breaks down?

Ivan, are the charging units original or not? Is the voltage in the outlet not fluctuating, by any chance?

Original, never had any problems with voltage.

Hello, the other day I bought an iPhone 6 plus, a new refurbished one, the battery is charging at 77%, I left it all night, yesterday I completely discharged it and put it on charge, the result is the same, closer to 70% it starts charging very slowly, stops at 77%... what is the reason?

I had a similar situation. Changing the charging cable helped. It’s hard to say what’s in your case.

I tried different chargers, my wife has an iPhone 6, the original charger was bought a month ago from MTS. The problem is most likely in the battery, every day it charges 6-7% less, today 68% maximum was charged overnight... Today I took the device for a replacement, a new one will be there on Friday.

Hello! I bought a new iPhone 7. At first I discharged it completely, and recharged it only 20%. Will this affect its operation?

Thank you, a very informative article. I have a question for you, I bought an iPhone 7 in Thailand with their charger, can it be charged by a Russian one from 5s. Thank you in advance with respect Denis!

No problem.

Hello, I bought a new iPhone 7. I set the charge to 12 hours. Is this really necessary or not?

Sorry. Didn't charge for 12 hours!!

Nothing bad will happen. Use and charge your phone at your convenience.

Hello, I've been using my iPhone 5s for about 4 months now, and today a problem arose. I left it to charge overnight, but it didn’t charge. I didn’t change the charger or the cord, everything is intact and original. I charged it to 1% and it says that the accessory is not supported or does not respond at all. In the on mode, the charge does not flow at all. And when turned off, it charges, but the charge drops very quickly, and so 100%, 98.86....15,10,7,5,3 and again 7%. Tell me what can be done or should I contact the service while it is still under warranty?

Oh, I forgot to say, I tried charging with an iPad adapter, and the same thing happened.

Tell me, you wrote that a cable is just a rope for transmitting current, and that there is no need to worry, but you still mentioned Chinese wires without describing them in detail. Explain, thank you.

Hello, is it possible to charge an iPhone 6 with a charger 7? Answer please.

Yes. You can charge it with charger from 7 without any problems. Actually, the charges are the same.

Hello, can you tell me if I can use my phone to save energy?

Good afternoon. I bought an iPhone 7. I charge it with an iPhone 5s charger. Is it possible? Thank you.

I bought 3 chargers for iPhone 7 for 290 rubles and I’m not worried. Charging at home, at work, in the car.

Thank you for the article. There are different opinions about charging smartphones, but I hope the manufacturer has provided protection against fools :)

The controller is a protection against fools, but, as they say, “a fool can break it…” (sorry for my English).

Hello! I bought a new refurbished iPhone 6. It came with a charging unit that was not rectangular flat, but more like a cube. The apple is drawn. Is it possible to safely charge your device without worrying about the life of the battery? Thank you!

Ksenia, I also have a cube (this is an American/Canadian fork). For Europe they make the round pins we are used to. You can charge without problems, the main thing is that it is an original charger, and not a Chinese fake, in which something shakes like a rattle.

The new iPhone 6 takes about 4 hours to fully charge. Tell me, is this normal for a new device? Thank you.

Alexander, it’s certainly a bit much... It should be about 2 hours. Do you have Plus or regular version? If Plus, then everything is possible... the battery is larger.

The new iPhone 6 charges in about 4 hours. Is this how it should be?

I changed the battery for an iPhone 4s, it seems to hold a charge normally, but the battery usage statistics are not shown in the battery settings, the problem is basically not serious, but still. And yet, after the replacement I managed to fully charge the battery maybe 6 times, but in Itools xnj d Battery Life, which I downloaded from the app store, it always shows only one full battery charge cycle, the battery lasts approximately 6 hours with active use, is this normal? But if you use it periodically, it lasts for a day.

Good afternoon iPhone 5s, I've been using it for 1 year without any problems, I decided to charge it in the car (EVIL.), smoke came out of the cable connector in the cell phone, I immediately turned it off, the cell phone worked fine))), when the phone ran out of charge, I put it on charge in a regular socket with new original ones cable and adapter. The phone began to charge for 5-6 hours, it sat down quickly even in airplane mode with energy saving, I turned off all auto-updates, downloads, etc., etc. I changed the battery - no change, the technician said that the power controller was visually OK, everything was clean in the phone, with no signs of burning. Question: should I still replace the controller? I blame him, but here in Almaty, if they change it, then in 90% of cases the phone is over, and 10% are lucky))) The microcircuit is not removed, but torn off by the roots((((Now I’m suffering((((( (

Elvira, a normal master should unsolder the controller chip, and not tear it off. Look for a normal service center. Here is a link to a video where the entire process of replacing the controller is shown in detail.

Thanks, I'll look for it, but in the meantime I'll charge it all night??????

Good afternoon Interesting article, thanks! What can you say about charging an iPhone from a computer? Could this somehow affect the battery?

And one more situation that I often encounter: in the cold or when using a navigator with geolocation turned on, quite often the battery charge drops sharply to 1-3%, I connect the power, the charge is immediately restored. Is this a glitch? Or does the battery change some modes?

Nastya, you can charge it from a computer without any problems.

Regarding the second question. In cold weather, the chemical processes in the battery slow down and therefore the phone may either turn off completely or show a residual charge of 1-3%. You should warm the phone to room temperature - then everything will return to normal. I would not recommend subjecting your phone to frequent “defrosting” (you should not let it become icy).

I charge my iPhone 2-3 times every day to 80%, does this harm the charging?

Thank you very much for telling me, I don’t want to spoil my 6s and thank you again.

Hello, I have an iPhone 6, when I go into applications with the Internet, 100 percent charge can go away in 10-15 minutes and turn off. Sometimes it turns off at 50 percent and shows that it needs a charge. falls in the progression 100-80-50-20-1, and when I put it on charge it instantly shows, for example, 75 percent. What could this be??

Dasha, if your iPhone has had random connections with Chinese chargers or car chargers, then it is very possible that the power/charging controller has failed. This is a chip on a board that needs to be soldered. In principle, this is not as scary as it might seem.

All symptoms point to this exact cause.

Hello, very interesting article. I recently bought an iPhone 5s, I started using it right away, I didn’t discharge it to 0%... I usually charge from 3-2% to 100%. With constant use, it shrinks in 5-6-7 hours... If you don’t use it constantly, it might last a day, maybe even last a little longer... There seem to be no problems. But it’s kind of scary that I’ll do something wrong and the battery will go to hell ... Is it stable to charge from 3-2% to 100% at once, and is it stable that the phone lasts 6-7 hours when used?

Nastya, you use your iPhone quite normally. I also don’t discharge my phone to 0%... and sometimes I don’t always charge it to 100%. Well, 6-7 hours of active phone use is quite normal. My son can drain my iPhone 6S to zero in 2 hours. Then when a full battery charge lasts me 1.5 days.

Hello! I've been scared lately by the jumping charge on the fifth iPhone. I changed the battery a couple of months ago, I didn’t seem to notice anything like that before. in general, it may show 70% for several minutes, and then three percent will be discharged in a couple of minutes when used. Sometimes, when I plug it into the charger, a few percent comes off, then I plug it in and plug it back in - it comes back. In cold weather it seems to discharge a little faster. And so, I wouldn’t say that it gets salty really quickly... should you worry about this and what can you do about it?

Hello. I bought an iPhone 5s secondhand, supposedly brought from America (have an American one). The kit included a charger, Chinese. The phone did not accept it, but the charge went up very slowly. The next day after the purchase, I went to the store and bought an original lighting cord and socket. The phone charged in about 2 hours, but after 100% charge the phone discharges quite quickly, regardless of whether Wi-Fi is on, airplane mode, etc. The charge shows, for example, 91% - I lock the phone, after 10 minutes I unlock it - 88% and significantly tends to 1% on which you can watch the same movie for more than 2 hours, it works without problems, but the charge shows 1%, after It goes out until I connect the charger. Full charge, all business... shows 100% for 5 minutes, if not blocked, and then away we go, 99...9897 with an interval of one and a half minutes. The phone doesn't heat up. When I put the phone to my ear, I noticed a sound coming from inside, like some kind of crackling sound, in the battery area (at the top of the phone, but not in the camera area) when the phone was unlocked, and it was even more audible when the game was turned on. As a result, I installed the Battery Life program, which showed 68% battery wear and I immediately started looking for a new battery. At this moment, the phone was re-calibrated, after which, after 2 hours of charging, the Battary Life program changed its mind about the battery and showed a completely different result - wear by 54%! Could it be that by calibrating the phone 3-5 times I will reach the full capacity of the displayed charge? Perhaps the previous owner of the device quite often poked a Chinese charge into it, and for a short time, to what extent did it all come down? Having re-read all the previous ones, I’m almost sure that this is not a power leak or a battery controller, since the charge lasts for quite a long time at 1%. I haven’t done a full reset of the phone yet and I doubt that it makes sense.

I don't want to return the phone, since it is in very good condition since its activation in 2013.

Has anyone encountered this and can you give me some advice in this situation?

Hello, I just recently (three days ago) bought a 6 plus. At first it charged perfectly, up to one hundred percent, and I went for a walk. A few minutes later I looked at the charge and went nuts (1% was left), I rebooted and it was 98. Well, okay, yesterday I put the phone to charge at night, I put it on and it was 16%, I woke up and it was 19%... What kind of bullshit is this, too much is this bad?

Dasha, if the phone is new from the store, then it’s better to take it back. If you bought it second hand, then anything can happen. Perhaps the power or charging controller has failed... these are microcircuits inside. I can't say that. We need to do a diagnosis.

Max, tell me, and if sooo, sometimes you need to charge your iPhone (7) in the car, which adapter is better to buy.

In this case, the main thing is quality, and quality implies an adequate price. What they sell for 2-3 dollars is complete bullshit. If you buy it, then from a trusted manufacturer. I personally really like the quality of Ugreen products. If you want a charger for your car, I can recommend this (link to AliExpress).

Hello! Please tell me, my phone often turns off outside when charging 30%, when I answer a video call on Viber, or when I want to take a photo, or when I want to make a call! When I come home and put it on charge, it turns on and immediately shows the percentage of charge at which it turned off (30%). Previously, this happened mainly in winter, when I left a warm room and wanted to make a call, the phone simply turned off and showed me on the screen so that I could connect the charger, while it turned off at 20%, 30%, 40% of charge! It’s very scary to be left without communication in a critical situation! But! Now my iPhone 6s turns off even in the warm season! It's summer now, and when I go outside, if I need to make a call or answer a video call via Viber, my phone also turns off and requires charging! I called the hotline, they told me that I either needed to flash the phone or update iOS (I had an old version) and if that didn’t help, go to the service center! Please give your opinion to my problem! Is it true in your opinion that updating iOS can improve the performance of my phone and the spontaneous shutdown of the phone can stop! Thank you in advance!

Irina, I understood your question and this is what comes to my mind.

1. In this case, it would be more correct to talk not about updating iOS, but about restoring the phone to factory settings with installing the latest version of iOS. The instructions are on the website (link). It is quite possible that the phone software has become buggy and is now not working correctly. It’s not a fact that this is your case, but it’s still worth a try.

2. Perhaps the phone battery no longer “can hold a charge”... Why? I don’t know... Perhaps marriage, perhaps exploitation...

3. If your iPhone was charged using cheap Chinese power adapters, then there is a very high probability that the iPhone’s power or charging controller has failed. The site again has a separate article on this subject (link). Be sure to check it out.

What exactly will help in your situation? You need to try in the order described above: Restore via iTunes - Contact the service center.

Hello, is it possible to charge an iPhone 5s with a Sony adapter (original) and an iPhone cord (not original)?

Yesterday I replaced the battery and I think it’s better to buy an original adapter or cable first, or maybe leave everything as is? and is it possible to charge an iPhone using a portable charger (1A)?

Kostya, you can. The main thing is not to buy power adapters that are clearly of Chinese origin.

Is it worth buying an original cable? or leave it as is? and you can also charge from a power bank (if so, where should you insert the usb (1A or 2A)?)

Hello, is it possible to charge an iPhone 6s with the original cable and htc adapter (original)?

Anna, I recently charged my iPhone 6S using a Samsung branded adapter. Everything is fine. So there will be no problems with HTC either. The main thing here is not to use really cheap Chinese chargers.

There is a difference in the cable between iPhone 5 and iPhone 6, thank you.

Alexander, there’s no difference at all... so “why pay more?”...

Thank you, you write intelligently!

For the first time in recent times I read and the face is in place, not crooked :))

Anton, thanks for the feedback... After such comments, my hands again reach for the keyboard.

Hello! Is it possible to charge an iPhone with an adapter from Asus Zenfone 4? Input: 100-240 V 0.25 A 50/60 Hz ; Output: 5.2 V = 1.35A. I got an American plug in the set, but the original adapters are not yet available in our stores (

Hello, is it possible to charge an iPhone 4s with a belkin cable and an adapter from highscreen zera f rev.s to 1A?

There is only one rule - the power adapter must be of normal quality. If there is no other alternative, the brand of the adapter does not matter, the main thing is that it produces a stable voltage. If you are confident in this adapter, feel free to charge it.

After buying the phone I immediately started using it, brought it up to 20% and started doing everything as you wrote.

But on one site it says that you need to keep your phone on charge for 12 hours, is this true?

Nikita, the phone battery takes about 1.5 - 2 hours to charge. After reaching 100% charge, power to the battery simply stops flowing. Therefore, there is NO point in keeping the phone connected to charging at all. Don't worry... Charge it to 100% and use it as before.

You can leave the phone on charge for 3 hours if the charger is Chinese, bought in that store. I was told that this is a high-quality fake and serves as the original.

I wouldn't use this type of charger. It’s better to find not a fake Apple charger, but a high-quality one from another manufacturer. I can’t answer anything about three hours, because... You can burn an iPhone in 5 minutes.

Is it worth buying an original charger if before this three good fakes broke within a period of 2 months?

Ordyn, it’s not necessary once in a while. You will come across another fake that will burn the charging controller. It's better not to take risks. DO NOT USE COUNTERFEITS.

Is it possible to use Belkin chargers, and is it possible to stumble upon a fake from this company?

Hello, in general, the problem is that the iPhone sometimes reboots itself, the apple lights up, then the apple goes out and lights up again only during the time it turns on.

Max, I would try restoring the iPhone to factory settings. If any error pops up during recovery, then most likely there is a problem with the hardware. If not, you should whisper.

I bought an iPhone SE. When it was completely discharged, I put it on charge overnight, and in the morning I saw that only 30% was charged. why not?

Tell me, at what minimum percentage of “life” of the iPhone 7 battery should I charge it? I've heard different versions. Some people say to charge at 40 percent, some advise using it up to 2-4 percent.

Larisa, I wouldn’t worry too much about this. Place it when it is convenient for you. Don't get attached to any number. Sometimes I charge at 4%, and at 70% I charge a little if I know that I won’t be able to get to the outlet for a long time.

Start from the idea of ​​“enough to last until the end of the day.”

Hello. I have a used iPhone 4S. I've been using it for half a year. It holds a charge according to its mAh amount, but turns off by 15-10% (this happens from the very first day of operation) I used different adapters if possible (most often from Huawei), I recently replaced the battery, nothing has changed. What should I do?

Tima, your phone number is probably old? Use it and don't bother. Well, it turns off by 10%, well, it’s good that it’s not by 50%. I will not say that there is anything faulty in it, because... I don't know that. Perhaps the new battery is not as original as the previous one, and the previous one has already exhausted its supply. What's important to you? So that the charge lasts for a day with normal use.

Hello, I have a question. I bought a new iPhone 6s and it takes 4-5 hours to charge... Is this normal?

Evgeniy, it should take about 1.5 hours to charge... Something is wrong.

I called the store, they said 3-5 hours is the norm, over time it will swing and become shorter in time.

Evgeniy, I want to tell you a little secret... “All the salespeople or support managers of such stores... are pizDuNy!” What matters to them? Sell ​​and forget.

Well, think for yourself. The phone takes 5 hours to charge. What is that? Out of the box, my iPhone 6S was fully charged in about 1.5 hours... and after a year of use, it also took 1.5 hours from 10% to 100%. But it's up to you...

Sorry to disappoint, if so... But I never lie to my own face... Unlike sales managers and store support services.

Hello. Tell me, when charging the phone, where is the charge consumed to maintain its life: from the cable (which, it turns out, is forced to divide its energy between charging the battery and the expenses of the smartphone) or from the battery that is charging? It’s clear about 100% charge, but what if the battery is not yet charged? Thank you.

Artem, the entire process is controlled by the charging controller. He himself decides to whom and how much “power” to give. Why are you so interested in this? I wouldn't bother about this.

First of all, thank you for patiently answering user questions :)

I have the 5s model. I've been using it for a year now. “Miracles” with the charge began after updating to iOS 11 - a couple of times it happened that I left the phone to charge at night at, say, 25-30%, but when connected to the charger everything is as usual - it sees everything, does not swear at anything . In the morning you wake up - the charge is around 5%, or even the phone is turned off, completely discharged. During the day it then charges normally. It happened a couple of times, but I don't like the trend. I have already read the comments above and am inclined to believe that these are tricks of the charging controller. But maybe a factory reset could also help?

Julia, thank you for your kind words. I would say that these are quirks of iOS 11. As far as I see the situation, hardware has nothing to do with it in this situation. Unfortunately, Apple has not yet released a stable version of iOS 11. There were a couple of minor updates, but they were more confused about emoji than about bugs.

If I were you, I wouldn’t pay attention to this, unless of course it causes a lot of inconvenience. We are waiting for a more stable version.

Hello! I bought a new iPhone 8 plus, used it for a couple of days in America, the charger held well, and when I arrived home, I have to charge it twice a day. Maybe it’s because I didn’t completely discharge or charge the phone at the very beginning, the first few times? Please tell me. Buying such a phone and having to suffer so much with the battery is terrible. Moreover, I don’t actively use it because I’m at work all day and it sits down by itself. And today and in general before bed it was 40% and in the morning I sat down completely! (((((((

Asya, I don’t think that the abnormal discharge is due to the fact that you did not discharge the phone after purchase. Most likely there is some kind of bug in the firmware. First, update your phone to the latest version of iOS 11.1 (in the first versions of the 11th firmware there was a problem with battery drain, when it discharged 2 times faster than usual). Secondly, think about it, maybe you recently installed some application that can run in the background and eat up your battery? Third, follow the steps in these instructions.

Hello, I recently bought an original Apple battery case for iPhone 7. It works like this: I inserted the phone into it and the phone shows how much charge is left on the iPhone and on the case, first the case discharges (the phone at this time shows that it is charging), and then The phone starts to run out. I have enough charge in the case for a day, in the evening I take the phone out of the case (the phone is 100% charged) and put the case on charge. In the morning I wake up on the phone when it is 100%, when it is 97-98% and I put it back in the case and it starts charging again, it turns out that the phone is almost always on charge. Question: is this harmful or not? Thanks in advance for your answer??????

Vladimir, excellent question... Li-Ion batteries lose their capacity faster if you do not follow the following rules:

1. Avoid deep discharge.

2. Try to constantly partially discharge and then charge the battery.

3. Avoid excessive heating of the battery.

4. Adhere to battery discharge/charge cycles ranging from 20% to 80-85%

Like a living organism, the battery must be given a load. I would advise you to use the case when really necessary. Or alternate every other day. Or insert the phone into the case when the phone's charge drops below 40%.

Hello. I was interested in the fact that the last 20% is slow charging and the current decreases. I immediately wondered. Is it possible to force an iPhone to charge on a slow charge, not only the last 20%? For example, leave it almost discharged overnight and charge it with a reduced current?

This is not a question for me. This needs to be negotiated with the charging controller. I don't think it will work. Unless you charge your phone with a non-original charger and regulate the current yourself.

Hello! Tell me, Is it possible to charge an iPhone 7 without it being painful for it with Samsung (the link to AliExpress has been removed) and car chargers (the link to AliExpress has been removed)?

Judging by the price tag, the quality of these chargers should be decent. In principle, I would trust them... although I have a bias towards all car chargers. But here it’s up to you... I prefer to use Ugreen products. Here's an example of a car charger.

Thank you! And in terms of amperes, if you take it to 2, will it be harmful to the battery?

The iPad charger is also 2 ampere, and even on the Apple website it is written that it is not harmful to the phone. In some cases, it’s even the other way around, for example, the iPhone Plus charges faster with such charging.

Hello! After buying an iPhone 7, I first used it until the charge reached 20%, then charged it to 99% (I had to remove it from the charger), then after a minute I charged it to 100. The next day, in half a day it was discharged by more than half. Even in power saving mode, the charging percentage disappears in minutes. How to fix it?

Victoria, if everything is in order with the phone, then you can charge it as you like and for as long as you like. The main thing is not to use cheap Chinese chargers. If you haven't had an iPhone before, then after Android it may seem like the iPhone doesn't hold a battery at all. Almost any iPhone model discharges during daylight hours. For some it is earlier, for others it is later. It all depends on what you do with it. Mobile Internet consumes a lot of battery.

I also get discharged to 50% in half a day.

Hello. I recently bought an iPhone 7, but my first attempt to charge it was unsuccessful. It doesn’t charge at all ((((doesn’t respond to the charger at all. Maybe I’m charging it somehow wrong?

Daria, this is bad. Return the phone back to the store. 14 days of “peace of mind” have not been canceled.

Every owner of a new car is firmly convinced that he knows almost everything about it. After all, having become the owner of such an expensive branded gadget, you want to fully enjoy all its sophisticated features. But such a trivial question: how to properly charge an iPhone may cause slight surprise and even bewilderment for many users. Well, what could be simpler and more understandable than this procedure - insert the charger into the iPhone and connect it to the network. At first glance, there is nothing complicated in this process. Can regular charging harm an electronic gadget? But in fact, there are a huge number of different nuances that affect the quality and speed of charging, and are also responsible for the durability and condition of the battery.

Recharging the iPhone battery

The battery is the heart of any mobile electronic device. And in order for it to last as long as possible, not only from recharging to recharging, but also until its resource is completely exhausted, you need to know how many times and how correctly it is recommended to charge the iPhone. Neglecting all these tips and rules, gadget owners may be faced with the need to change faulty branded batteries too often. Moreover, replace them with new, and not always good quality, analogues. And I must admit, this is not a cheap pleasure.

One part of users charges their electronic devices almost every day. Others, on the contrary, resort to this procedure only after the battery is completely discharged. One way or another, all owners gadgets want only one thing - for their device to always be active and not fail at the most crucial moment. But how to find that golden mean so that the battery lasts a long time, and the user saves himself from the need to constantly recharge it. Experts recommend: in order for the battery to last as long as possible, it should neither be charged to 100% maximum nor discharged to zero. The most optimal charge level is considered to be from 40% to 80%.

The influence of chargers on the battery condition

The correct charging of the iPhone 7 is influenced not only by competent and orderly actions of the user, but also by the quality of the power supply, network adapter and USB cable. Every owner of an Apple gadget should know that to recharge the battery, you need to use only original equipment from the manufacturer. The thing is that branded chargers are equipped with special microcontrollers that monitor the process of receiving current. And if the charging conditions go beyond acceptable limits, for example, the temperature rises, the voltage jumps or the current drops, then the battery simply stops charging.

In network adapters and power supplies from unknown manufacturers, there can be no talk of any microcontroller. Therefore, such devices must be used very carefully, only in the most desperate situations and for a fairly short time. Otherwise, such an adapter can not only burn out the power controller in the iPhone 7 itself, but also completely damage the battery.

Charging a newly purchased iPhone 7

All electronic devices that hit store shelves already have a certain level of charge. Therefore, a newly purchased iPhone 7 can be used immediately, without any additional actions or restrictions. And the myth that you need to charge a new gadget for 72 hours the first time and then completely discharge it is unfounded. The thing is that modern iPhones use new generation lithium-ion batteries. They, unlike conventional nickel batteries, do not have a full charge memory effect, so there is no point in doing this procedure with new Apple devices.

But despite the fact that the new iPhone, although it has a small charge of energy, it doesn’t care The first charge is required, which is also the most important. It is this that lays the foundation for the future uninterrupted and long-term operation of the gadget. It is worth noting that the first charging of iPhone 7 is no fundamentally different from recharging previous models. The initial charging cycle for iPhones of almost all models consists of the following simple steps:

• The iPhone is connected to the charger for 3 hours;
• after the battery is 100% charged, you need to use the iPhone until it is completely discharged;
• connect the charger for another 2 hours and do not use any gadget applications;
• Bring the charge up to 100% again and then you can fully work with the device.

Once the battery is fully charged, the controller that is built into the iPhone automatically turns off the power supply. It is he who tries to charge the battery as soon as possible and prevent it from overcharging.

Optimal charging time for iPhones

In principle, there are no clearly established boundaries defining the charging time of iPhones. The gadget will be connected to the network exactly as much as it needs to gain the required amount of energy charge. And this depends on a number of factors:

• iPhone discharge depth;
• temperature conditions - considered optimal is from 16 to 22 °C;
• availability of an original or certified charger;
• wire length;
• using the gadget during the charging process.

If we approach it purely theoretically, then it may take from one and a half to three hours to recharge the battery from 0% to 100%. Here everything will depend on the device model and battery parameters. It is clear that the iPhone 7 will take longer to charge than all its predecessors. And all because it has the most capacitive battery, which not only draws more power from the gadget, but also lasts 2 hours longer than the batteries installed on previous iPhone models.

You can learn how to charge the iPhone 7 by studying the instructions that come with any new gadget. In it, Apple experts give several important tips and recommendations that will help not only use your battery economically, but also extend its service life. Among the most important recommendations are:

• Use only branded or certified equipment for charging;
• You cannot charge the iPhone while it is in a case or covered with any object, this can cause the device to become very hot, which will negatively affect the battery itself;
• It is not recommended to use the gadget in severe frost;
• if the device will not be used temporarily, then before turning it off and hiding it, its battery must be charged 50%;

You can extend your battery life by lowering the screen brightness and disabling rarely used apps and programs. However, it is up to the user to decide whether to follow these tips or not. After all, they are all purely advisory in nature. And if for some reason you need to turn on your iPhone during the cold season, this does not mean that the battery will immediately fail. The main thing is to use only original chargers and follow safety precautions. And everything else, albeit with small reservations, can be ignored, of course, to the detriment of the battery’s durability.

Last week, a story became popular on the Internet, the heroes of which were an unknown Internet user and Apple's senior vice president of software, Craig Federighi. The first sent a letter to the head of the corporation, Tim Cook, in which he asked whether it was necessary to remove tasks from the list of running applications in order to save battery power. “No and no again,” Federighi answered for his boss on his own Twitter.

Soon after this, foreign and domestic media began publishing a link to a special section on the Apple website, which talks about how to increase the operating time of an iOS device without recharging and extend the overall life of the built-in battery.

The page that has gained new popularity notes that the term “lifetime” in relation to a battery means exactly the period that elapses between two charges, and the definition of “lifespan” implies the time after which the battery needs to be replaced with a new one. Exactly how to extend both - translated by RG Digital.

1. Apple advises updating software promptly, as updates often include new energy-saving technologies.

2. You should avoid too high and too low temperatures when using gadgets - this applies to tablets, smartphones, and laptops. The range of comfortable temperatures is from 16 to 22 degrees Celsius, the upper limit is 35 degrees Celsius. Charging at higher temperatures may cause permanent battery damage. Use in cold conditions may reduce battery life, but this is temporary.

3. Remove cases from devices while charging. This will help them avoid overheating as charging can cause excess heat.

4. Keep gadgets half charged if you leave them for a long time. A completely discharged battery may completely lose the ability to charge in the future. In turn, a battery charged at 100 percent for a long time may lose some of its capacity. It is recommended to store devices at a temperature not exceeding 32 degrees.

5. For iPhone and iPad, there are additional ways to increase battery life. The first is to set automatic brightness, in which the device adapts to lighting conditions. The second is to keep Wi-Fi on all the time, since this access method consumes less energy.

6. iOS 9 introduced a power saving mode that warns the user when the battery is low and also reduces power consumption by disabling iCloud synchronization and AirDrop data transfer. At the same time, the ability to make calls, send SMS and access the Internet will remain. When the device is charged, the saving mode is automatically turned off.

7. According to Apple, iOS 9 has become the most energy-efficient operating system, since it has the ability to find out which applications are using the most battery power. If desired, the user can limit the background activity of the most "gluttonous" programs.
