Make sure it is updated to the latest version of iOS, on Monday iOS 18.1 will be released and just give it some time, as it is a new phone it may do more things in the background for a few days. I would also turn off the always on display, this is in Settings > Display and Brightbness, it may not require a lot of power, but it will use some and it's of no use for a blind person. Then of course make sure your auto lock is set to 30 seconds or at least not more than a minute, make sure raise to wake is off (that is also in Display and Brightness).

I purchased the 16 pro, and I'm totally impressed at the amount of battery left at the end of the day. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Terri Stimmel Sent: Sunday, October 27, 2024 6:04 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Battery life on new phone Hello everyone, As I mentioned last week, I upgraded my phone to the 16 pro. This is the first time I have had a pro. I have noticed that my battery seems to run down pretty quickly. Or at least, in my mind it does. I feel like my older iphone had a better battery life. I thought this new phone would last me all day, and I wouldn't have to charge it until I went to bed at night. Is this not an expectation that I should have? I do understand that battery life has to also do with what I am using the phone for. Lately, it has been to look at Facebook, check email several times a day, sometimes use it to work on school assignments. So, then I am using a Microsoft App, or pages. I also sometimes use Chat GPT, and Be My Eyes. But, not all day for either of them. I will admit that I probably use my phone 6, to 8 hours a day. I have it set to tell me once a week, how much screen time I have used. And it is consistently over 6, to 7 hours. So, I am sure this makes a difference. What do you all think? What can I possibly do to get my battery to last all day? What settings can I check? Thank you, Terri -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
