Three ‘amazing’ battery-saving tricks that iPhone owners swear ‘make devices last TWO days’

An iPhone owner has praised a magical trio of battery-saving features that they say make their device “last two days.”

His comments aim to dispel concerns that Apple’s battery-saving features are a placebo and that they actually work.

“I’ve seen a lot of people and Apple/YouTuber experts say that power saving tactics/tricks like dark mode, low power mode on all the time, and white point reduction only make a small difference, so the trade-off of turning on iPhone features isn’t worth it,” wrote an iPhone 14 Pro Max owner on Reddit.

“But I tested it and it made a huge difference.”

Dark Mode

Dark mode makes all pages on your iPhone that usually appear white or light gray appear black.

Apple says it’s “perfect for low-light environments” – especially if you’re trying to relax at night.

But it can also greatly reduce your iPhone’s power consumption.

• Go to Settings and tap Display & brightness.
• Select Dark to activate Dark Mode.

Low Power Mode

Low Power Mode, which iPhone owners are automatically prompted to turn on when their device’s battery reaches 20%, is another great way to make your iPhone last longer.

You can even customize Low Power Mode to automatically turn on with a higher battery percentage.

White Point

Reducing the white point essentially dims the light on your iPhone’s screen.

You can slide it wherever you want, but the savvy iPhone owner from Reddit recommended setting it to around 30%.

The more you want to save battery, the higher you’ll want to place the slider.

1. Open the settings app and ringtone Accessibility.
2. Touch Text display and size.
3. Scroll down and tap the toggle button to Reduce white point to call.
4. Adjust the white point slider to increase or decrease the white point level.

‘Incredible’

After testing all three features, the iPhone owner discovered that they ended up using half the battery they were using without this settings adjustment.

With just dark mode enabled – and a 96% battery – the device reportedly went from 100 to 0 in just 10 hours.

Whereas when dark mode, power saving mode and white point reduction setting were activated, only half of the battery was used in a period of 7.5 hours.

This is the only way I can make my phone last two days.

Reddit user

“This is the only way I can make my phone last two days,” the Reddit user added.

“I’ve seen people make their phones last two days without using all these features – I don’t know how.

“But this is really useful if I’m going to be somewhere without a charger for two days.”

One viewer called the tip “amazing,” adding that it “improved my battery a lot, especially discharging overnight.”
