How To Improve iOS 6 Battery Life! iPhone, iPod Touch & iPad

**Tips to Improve Battery Life on iOS 6**

Going ahead and turning off your iPhone device can help resolve many battery drain issues. If you're jailbroken, it's recommended to perform a tethered boot, which can fix most battery drain problems. However, this method is optional, and users should weigh the pros and cons before deciding whether to implement it.

To optimize battery life on iOS 6, it's essential to start by reducing screen brightness. In Settings > Brightness & Wallpaper, adjusting your screen brightness to a comfortable level can help minimize power consumption. Disabling Auto-Brightness can also be beneficial, as this feature helps reduce the amount of energy used by the screen. Additionally, users can consider disabling Wi-Fi and Bluetooth when not in use, as these features are significant battery drains.

**General Settings**

In General > Autolock, setting the autolock timer to 2 minutes or a longer period can help conserve battery life. Moreover, users on iPhone 5 devices should disable LTE when not in an area with LTE coverage, as this feature consumes excessive energy. Enabling Low Power Mode or reducing cellular data usage can also contribute to improved battery life.

**Notification Settings**

Navigating to Notificat ion and disabling any notifications that are not necessary can significantly reduce battery drain. Users can choose how they want messages to be displayed and disable features like "Badges" or "Banners". By minimizing the number of unnecessary notifications, users can conserve energy and prolong their iPhone's battery life.

**Mail, Contacts, and Calendars**

In Mail, Contacts, and Calendars, users should navigate to Fetch New Data and disable Push. This setting can help reduce battery drain by limiting the amount of data being pushed to the device. Additionally, setting email accounts to manually check for new messages instead of automatically refreshing them can also contribute to improved battery life.

**Location Services**

In Privacy > Location Services, users have the option to control which apps are allowed to access their location. Enabling GPS-only mode or disabling Location Services altogether when not in use can help conserve energy. Users should be aware that using these features excessively can drain their iPhone's battery.

**System Services and Diagnostics**

Navigating to General > System Services, users may find unnecessary services running in the background, which can consume energy. Disabling or uninstalling unused services can help optimize battery life. Additionally, accessing Diagnostics and Usage > Don't Send for Diagnostics and Usage can provide minimal battery savings.

**Multitasking Cache and Power Cycles**

Finally, clearing out the multitasking cache by holding down the sleep/wake button and swiping up to refresh the screen can help maintain optimal performance. Users are also advised to perform a full power cycle by letting their battery die all the way down and then charging it back up to 100%. While this method is recommended by Apple, its effectiveness in prolonging battery life remains unclear.

By implementing these tips, users can significantly improve their iPhone's battery life and enjoy a smoother, more efficient experience.
