A former Apple employee, Tyler Morgan, has shared a series of tips on TikTok to help iPhone users extend their battery life. His video, posted on the account @hitomidocameraroll, has garnered nearly three million views.
Morgan's first tip is controversial: he suggests breaking your iPhone to get a free battery replacement if you have Apple Care. However, he then provides more practical advice, including avoiding overnight charging and not charging to 100 percent. He recommends charging to around 80 percent and using the charging optimization feature in battery settings.
Morgan also advises turning off Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and cellular data when not in use to conserve battery. He notes that iPhones are designed to be on continuously and should not be turned off for extended periods.
Apple's official guidance includes adjusting screen brightness and using Wi-Fi instead of mobile networks, as Wi-Fi uses less power. Users can enable Auto-Brightness in the settings to automatically adjust screen brightness based on lighting conditions.
