this video is brought to you by macback
today I'm going to take you through the
first 25 things that you should do if
you've just got your brand new iPhone 15
Pro iPhone 15 or any other iPhone that
runs the latest IOS 17 now these tips
and tricks are going to help you find
Handy new hidden features as well as
preserve your battery health extend your
battery life and maximize your iPhone's
performance but quickly before we start
I am giving away this brand new iPhone
15 and for a chance to win be sure to
like this video subscribe to this
channel And subscribe to my second
Channel Channel techbook by Dion Link in
the description then leave a comment
with your Instagram username and follow
me on Instagram at Theon hone where I
will announce the winner on the 29th of
December all right so to start we're
going to look at two really important
areas and the first is how to preserve
your battery health and the second is
the top battery saving tips now these
are both going to of course extend the
usability and the life of your phone
which is really important so let's first
look at how to preserve your battery
health now to do this here in the main
settings window we're going to scroll
down to where we find battery now first
here on the top right we do have the
option to show the battery percentage uh
if you choose to do so but more
importantly than that we're going to tap
into battery health and charging now
here not only can we find the maximum
capacity of the battery this here is the
indicator of your battery health so
anywhere from 80 to 100% uh is
considered normal then once you go
beneath 80% that's when Apple typically
recommends uh you replace the battery
but how do we keep it at 100% for as
long as possible well a really important
function right here is called charging
optimiz ization now here you have two
options you can either decide optimize
battery charging or 80% limit or well
none now I like to use the optimized
battery charging limit now what this
essentially does is it's going to track
how you typically charge your phone so
let's say at night at 10 p.m. you plug
your phone in uh wake up at 6:00 a.m. to
then unplug it now instead of fully
charging when you plug in at 10: a.m.
it's going to first charge up to 80% and
then wait with the remaining 20% till
closer to when you typically wake up at
around 6:00 a.m. and this is going to
help preserve your battery health over
time now if you want to take it one step
further you can also add an 80% cap to
your battery and this means your battery
will not charge above 80% now this will
help preserve the battery life even more
but to me this is too much of a
sacrifice as I don't want to give up 20%
of my battery life so I like this first
option here it kind of gives you the
best of both and quickly while we're on
the subject of charging let me briefly
talk about what kind of charging habits
are best and what kind of chargers to
use so if your aim is to solely preserve
your battery health the best thing to do
is to charge via a cable so with a wired
connection as opposed to wireless
charging as this will generate less heat
furthermore if you use a lower watt or
slower charger this too will improve
your battery health or rather slow the
degradation of your battery health so I
recommend something like a 5 wat or a 10
watt brick as opposed to a 20 or 30 watt
brick which will charge your phone
faster but because it generates more
heat will cause your battery to wear
more quickly so again to maximize your
battery health use a wired connection
and a lower watt charger great so now
that we know how to best preserve and
extend your battery health let's talk
about battery saving now there's three
really big things that come to mind and
the first is limiting your notifications
then we're going to look at background
app refresh and then we're going to look
at Siri so let's start off with uh
notifications now we're going to go into
settings and then we can scroll to where
we find notifications and here we're
going to go through all of your
applications and chances are every one
of these apps is probably going to want
to send you notifications throughout the
day and not only is that not good for
your battery life as of course your
phone display will wake the speaker will
go off it will vibrate and this really
adds up if you have over 100 200
notifications coming in per day so
having less notifications is not only
good for your battery life uh it is also
good for your well-being as you don't
want to be distracted by things that
don't matter so my suggestion really is
to turn off things like shopping apps uh
games for example but keep on those
essential messaging apps maybe banking
related apps or uh health related apps
you might want to keep on but other
notifications I suggest you turn off and
this is really going to impact your
battery over time as well so just to
give you an example here uh let's say I
have the Apple store and I want to turn
off notifications all you have to do is
toggle this first switch here at the top
and that's then going to block all
notifications from that particular app
and similarly to Notifications uh is
background app refresh so in the main
page of your settings we're going to go
into General and then tap on background
app refresh and here too every app is
probably going to want to refresh in the
background but many don't need to now on
top here you do have the option to turn
it off for all applications this is
something I actually don't recommend uh
because there are certain apps that you
do want running in the background uh for
example your Maps applications maybe
certain productivity apps or messaging
apps and that's exactly what I've done
so you can see I have a lot of
productivity related apps here that one
that doesn't have to be on but my maps
applications those are on as well and
other applications that don't need to be
running in the background I turn off and
you can see I probably have half of them
or so off and this just means that those
apps won't be constantly running in the
background using battery life let's talk
about Siri now Siri is a great uh
digital assistant that I find myself
using quite often but there's many ways
to use Siri on your iPhone and how you
choose to use Siri will definitely
impact your battery life so let's go
into the Siri settings on the main page
we're going to scroll to where we find
Siri uh where is it I already went past
it there it is Siri and search we're
going to tap on that and then here we
have the option for listen for now you
probably have one of these on I'm not
going to say out loud to not trigger
your series but if you have either of
these on what that means is your phone
is going to be constantly listening in
the background using the microphones for
these activation phrases and this
definitely takes a battery not to
mention your phone can definitely be act
accidentally triggered for example I
find if I say the word seriously uh it
can often trigger my phone which isn't
great especially if you're if you're in
the middle of like an important Zoom
meeting uh has happened to me too many
times so instead I turn this off and I
use the side button to activate Siri so
that here's the Sleep awake button all
you have to do is press and hold that
and as you can see Siri will come up and
we can use it just like normal and again
because we're using the S button to
activate her uh as opposed to that
trigger word it won't be constantly
listening in the background saving you
battery and in my opinion uh it also
completely removes accidental triggers
so it's a win-win great so now that
we've covered some most essential uh
battery tips and tricks here let's talk
a little bit about customizing your
phone so with iOS 17 Apple brought some
new ways to customize your phone
starting here with the lock screen so to
customize uh your lock screen what
you're going to do is make sure your
phone is unlocked so just look at face
ID there we go and you can press and
hold and that will allow to quickly
cycle uh between all of the wallpapers
that you have on your phone so it's kind
of like uh switching between watch faces
that you have very easy and a great way
to instantly change up the entire look
of your phone uh to just walk you
through an example let me add a new one
here so on the far right we can go ahead
and press that little plus sign and we
can choose you have your photos to
choose from uh preset wallpapers as well
I actually really happen to like uh the
wallpapers uh that come with the iPhone
uh 15 Pros I think they look really neat
so let's go ahead and set one of these
up now one of the new features as well
with iOS 17 is not only can you change
the font but you can also actually
change the thickness of the font so you
want it to be a little thinner a little
thicker I really like this font kind of
my classic you've probably seen this in
my videos and we can also go ahead and
change the uh the color as well I like
it to blend in a little bit and here up
top we can change whether to show the
date or temperature I usually keep this
as the date and instead add a couple
widgets beneath that so you adding
widgets on the lock screen is a great
way to quickly see information at a
glance so for example I like to have the
temperature the activity and sometimes I
also like to have the percentage chance
for rain which I believe should be in
here where is it there it is
precipitation which if you live in
London like I do uh this is really
essential I check this before I leave
the house every day pretty much uh and
this here now gives me three widgets now
you can have up to four widgets um and
it's great to show this in terms of
getting information quickly however
since we're on the subject or earlier of
battery widgets do run in the background
and as a result will be always refreshed
when you look at your phone which is
great but they do take battery so I do
suggest you use widgets sparingly so
really use ones that bring you value
right don't just have them there for for
no reason for example the activity rings
I really find that useful temperature as
well so these are ones that I like to
have and I'm willing to use or give a
little bit of battery life for uh to get
that added functionality so really think
about it and Choose Wisely as to how
many and which widgets you use now once
we're done on the top right we can press
add uh we can choose to add it as a pair
so it will assign both the lock screen
as well as the home screen which go
ahead and do and we tap into it and
voila we have now customized our phone
and we can swipe to unlock one of the
first things I recommend you do with any
new phone is to get a good case and this
is where macback comes in now macback
has protection and also functionality by
letting you mount your phone virtually
anywhere to start this is the macback
case now here I have it in Black uh it
comes in a variety of colors and I
especially like that you can now
customize the buttons to add a little
bit of personalization to your case the
case is made of this really nice and
grippy impact absorbent material which
is actually drop tested for up to 6 ft
but my favorite feature of the macback
case is not only is it fully compatible
with mag safe but also with mag sticks
and this means you can basically Mount
your phone to any Surface by adding one
of these mag sticks for example say a
dashboard a kitchen or a wall and plus
if the surface is already metallic you
can just place your case to mount the
array of magnets inside the case also
let you add accessories like the magbag
leather wallet which is great because
not only does it use magnets but it
actually has two to three times the
magnetic strength of typical mag safe
which of course for a wallet is
especially important macback went even
further by adding extra functionality so
you can also use the wallet as a stand
which is a great way uh to prop up your
phone say while you're working at a desk
uh there's also a handy Loop in the back
which will give you added grip when
you're using your phone and the wallet
can hold up to six cards or cards and
cash thanks to having dual pockets and
then lastly is the macback multi-charger
now this charger lets you charge uh not
not only your iPhone also your Apple
watch and of course also your airpods
it's an excellent all-in-one charger and
I really like the minimalistic design
that will look at home anywhere on your
desk or say in your nightstand to
upgrade your iPhone with macback be sure
to head to the links in the description
and use code Dion 15 for 15% off your
order one of the big features that the
iPhone 15 Pro specifically brought is
the new action bun that you're going to
find on the site here and this actually
replaces the mute ring switch and we'll
look at that in a second uh but for now
quick I'm going to look at the action
button and show you how to customize
this you can see I've got mine here to
set the torch super handy uh but there's
a really easy way in settings to assign
different functionality to this button
so to do this we're going to go into the
settings menu here back on the homepage
we're going to scroll to where we find
action buttons you find that right
beneath the control center and here we
have this really neat uh little swipe
menu where you can choose different
functions to assign to that button so
camera might be a common one uh the
torch or if you missed the mute button
you can of course uh reassign the that
there uh you can also have things like
to start a voice memo or even add a
shortcut which essentially lets you
build a custom function you can have a
trigger lights in your home or play a
certain song on your speaker uh the
options really are endless when it comes
to the shortcuts but of the presets I
like to use a torch I've actually find
it uh super handy if I'm looking for my
keys in my bag for example just nice to
have that Hardware button but of course
since the iPhone 15 Pros no longer have
that mute switch toggle how do you know
if your phone is on mute well personally
I like to have my phone on mute pretty
much at all times and normally speaking
if you do what you're going to see is
you're going to have this icon right
here in the top left of your menu bar
now while it is useful to know whether
your phone is on mute or not since mine
is pretty much always on mute uh I don't
need to see that icon there always so
what you can do is in the settings page
we're going to tap on sound and haptics
and then we can disable that function
and they'll clean up the space there on
the top and not show you whether your
phone is on mute if you are ever unsure
you can also swipe down here from the
control center and you can simply
Trigger or remove it there so you can
kind of have that quick switch
functionality still even if your uh your
your your custom button is assigned to
something else while we're here in the
sound and haptics menu uh if we scroll
down we can also change the keyboard
haptic now this is the sound or
vibration you feel when you're typing so
out of the box you will hear the
clicking sound of your keys personally I
don't really like this to be on so I
turned this off but what I've really
grown to like actually is the subtle
haptic feedback from the keyboard kind
of almost makes me uh it brings me back
to the Blackberry days where you're kind
of pressing tactile buttons uh so I like
to have the haptic feedback on gives a
very slight vibration per click uh but
then turn off the sound as it won't
disturb others I want to look at the
home screen real quick so specifically
with iOS 17 uh widgets on the home
screen have actually become a lot more
useful in a sense that they are now
interactive so I have a couple examples
here so you have a reminders widget here
and where previously you could only see
reminders you can now actually tick them
off so let's say I picked up my dry
cleaning I can go ahead and tap that and
it's I'm going to update that list
automatically and then remove it from
the list really useful functionality I
think makes a much better case for using
uh widgets on your home screen uh and
then also beneath that we have for
example the music widget I can go ahead
and actually just start a song right
there one of my more recently played
songs right from the home screen super
useful uh and I really encourage you to
add some more widgets see what you like
see what you don't like but just like on
the lock screen do be mindful of how
many widgets you use as of course these
will be taking battery as they run in
the background so only use which widgets
you really uh really find get value from
so use them sparingly one of my favorite
features of iOS 17 is called standby
mode so to make sure that your standby
mode is activated we're going to go into
the settings app here scroll down to
where we find a standby and then you're
going to want to make sure that this is
activated there what I'm going to do now
is I'm going to lock my phone and then
place it uh horizontally on this
Wireless mag safe charger so there we go
it is now charged and as you can see
we're automatically going to enter
standby mode and this gives you a really
nice overview of your clock as well as
things like your outstanding reminders a
calendar widget uh your weather for
example you can even swipe through to
different photos uh as well as a world
time and this is just a really nice way
to dock your phone at your desk uh limit
the distraction as well as you're going
to be less focused on notifications and
more on just the content that you can
see on your screen I particularly like
to have a quick overview here of my
outstanding reminders like my daily
to-do list so I can quickly see what's
outstanding and then tick them off as I
go let's take a look at messages more
specifically iMessages there's a few
really cool features that I think you
should know about and the first here is
that we have the ability to undo or
unsend as well as edit a message even
after it is sent so to give an example
here let's say I have a written out
message I'm going to go and send that uh
but let's say 10 minutes is a little bit
optimistic I still have some filming to
do here so what I can do uh is press and
hold on that message and then tap on
edit I can go ahead and actually edit
that uh as I wish so for example instead
of 10 minutes I'm going to say 20
minutes I go ah and tap on the little
tick mark and as you can see that will
then amend the message now it is
important to know that the person can
see that the message has been edited as
it will show that little edited icon but
they won't be able to see the edit
history now let's say I made a mistake
in this message or I want to undo it
entirely what I can also do is press and
hold on that same message and then tap
on undo send and that's not going to
make the message disappear again the
person will be able to see that a
message has been unsent but won't be
able to see the content and lastly uh in
terms of editing as well as unsending
your message both of these can be done
up to 15 minutes after sending as you
can see uh in this conversation I've
also sent through a couple of photos and
one of the things I really like about
iMessage as opposed to Whatsapp or many
other messaging services is that you
have the option to actually send full
quality photos where it won't actually
compress or degrade them when you send
them however there is a setting that
you're going to want to make sure is
activated to ensure that you actually
are sending uh full quality photos and
videos so to do this we're going to go
into the settings app and then go back
to the main page here and scroll to
where we find messages and then all the
way at the bottom this you're going to
want to make sure that this is off which
is called Loc quality image mode now
this will save you battery or battery of
data but also potentially storage space
as those messages will add up but if you
want to send full quality images like I
do uh you're going to want to make sure
that this is off now let's jump into the
notes app which is a great way to
quickly note down some ideas or make a
list grocery list things like this uh
but let's say you store something a
little bit more sensitive that you want
protected well it is possible to protect
a notes behind your password or face ID
so to do this let's say here I have a
top secret iPhone tips and tricks notes
Here what I can do is press and hold on
that note and then tap lock note and
then we're going to type in your
iPhone's password and as you can see
that little note will now have a lock
next to it and gets currently unlocked
so I've just typed in my password so I
can access it then if I tap here on the
bottom lock now you'll see that note is
now locked and it will require my
password or face ID to enter and the
same is true every time you open and
close the notes app so while I would
never suggest storing things like your
passwords or payment details in the
notes app if you do have say contact
information or something that that's a
little bit more sensitive uh you are
able to add one layer of added
protection by locking those notes next I
want to take a look at photos as there's
a few really neat features and handy
tricks uh that you should know about so
first let's jump in the photos app here
and pull up a picture so here I have a
shot of me uh selfie here of me on a
bridge now what you can do is tap the
edit button and we can actually under
portrait mode change the level of depth
of field within that photo so as you can
see my face will remain fully in Focus
but the background here I can make that
really blur have a nice shallow depth of
field here at f1.4 or I can bring it all
the way out all the way open to
essentially uh an open or close shutter
speed rather where both the foreground
and the background are in Focus what is
also really neat is you can actually
change the focus point so let's say I
want to focus on the background instead
just tap that and it will then switch to
the background this is useful uh if say
you have two people in a photo one
person in the background one in the
foreground and you want to switch who it
focuses on after the fact so it's really
cool to have this added functionality
for uh for basically editing your photos
after taking it now these features are
exclusive to all of the iPhone 15s
whether it be the pros or the regular
models however what is not exclusive to
the iPhone 15s is a much easier way to
crop your photo so let's say here I have
a shot of my Apple watch uh but I want
to zoom in a little bit uh let's say
this would be perfect if only there was
a way to instantly crop it like this
well there actually is if you look here
on the top right you will find a crop
button there it is and I can go ahead
and then instantly crop that to exactly
where I zoomed it in and of course I can
adjust it from there as well but this is
a really great way to easily and
instantly crop your photos not only to
the dimensions of your phone but also to
where exactly uh you zoomed it in and
this next feature has been around for a
while but I still think it's really
useful and that is the ability to copy
text right from a photo so if you see
this little icon on the bottom right of
your photo it means there is text to
copy so let's say I want to copy the
name of this product I can literally
select that like I would any other text
hit a hit copy go into my notes app for
example and then we can go ahead and
paste that and as you can see it has
just copied the text right from that
photo so great if you're looking up a
product or say you had a picture of a
boardroom whiteboard from University or
in a meeting great way to quickly uh
copy text right from an image all right
so this next portion of the video is
really crucial as we're going to look at
how to make your iPhone more private as
these days more than ever uh so much of
your personal information is on your
phone whether it be banking information
location information all that and you're
going to want to make sure that you know
who and how that is shared and to be in
control and be able to block apps from
certain information so to do this uh
we're going to go into the settings app
and then scroll down to where we find
privacy and security and we're going to
start off with location services now
here you're going to want to go through
all of your applications that want to
request your uh location you can see
there's quite a few there chances are
most will and see whether they actually
need to as there's many apps that want
your location but really don't need it
so to give an example here uh Shazam
Shazam useful application there's no
reason they would ever need to know my
location so instead of even offering the
chance to ask I just turn that on never
and they will never be able to ask for
my location now certain other
applications uh let's say for example
your Maps application you're going to
want to make sure that it uh sees your
not your location rather when you are
using the app so make sure that while
using the app is selected and you also
have the option to share a precise
location or or like a vager location
whether it be based to your city uh or
say the exact street and house number
that you're on so this is useful for
certain apps of course maps are going to
want to make sure that's accurate so
there I keep the precise location on uh
but let me see if I have an example here
for example news news can be useful if
say I'm traveling and I want up-to-date
news that is local to my location uh I
do allow to have my location but it
doesn't need my precise location if it
knows the country I'm in that's enough
it doesn't need to know the street or
the uh the house number for example now
one caution a word of caution that I do
want to share here and I currently don't
have any in my list but if you see any
app here and it has the word always so
instead of while using or never or when
shared for example if you see the word
always I highly encourage you to really
think about whether that app actually
needs to be able to access your location
always as chances are no app does and I
would suggest you turn off location for
that app or at least limit how it's able
to see your location beneath location
services we have tracking Now tracking
here is very simple uh what this
basically means is it gives applications
permission to ask to track you and
they'll be able to see what applications
you have running what applications you
use as well as for example what websites
you have open in safari in my opinion
there's no app that has any business uh
for knowing this information so if you
turn off this function here they won't
even be able to ask you or request you
for a permission to track so I suggest
you turn this off and they'll then
blanket ban uh for all of your apps and
just like with location services uh
photos I think is another really crucial
one as chances are there'll be a lot of
apps that want to request your photos
but you can see I've got a lot of mine
set to limit access and this means that
I get to choose which photos they get to
access every time so for example if I
upload let's say eBay I'll take that as
an example here you can see I have four
photos selected that may be a photos for
a listing or something or I don't know
something I'm sending in a message but I
don't want them to access all 4,000 of
my photos and 200 of my videos so I
suggest you do limit access for most
applications and certain trusted apps
you can allow full access and other apps
that you don't trust as much uh you can
also of course choose to turn off
entirely I really also encourage you to
do the same with microphone camera I'm
not going to show you this that's
basically the same principle apply but
this is really all about doing an audit
of your phones and all the apps that
request this sensitive information right
your location your photos your camera
microphone and see do they actually need
to access these things and if they do
how often right for example location
should it be only while you're using the
app should it be a precise location so
really think about these things think I
really highly encourage you to do this
to make your iPhone more secure and also
more private and finally here at the
bottom uh we also have analytics and
improvements and this this is basically
going to send anonymous analytic data to
Apple now while this is anonymous and I
don't think it's as high risk to have on
it does take battery and also consumes a
bit of storage as it will take up more
cache files right it will keep more
detailed logs of your app history so I
suggest just turning all this off as it
saves you storage also a bit of battery
and again for privacy reasons best to
have this off too so now that we've
looked at how to make your iPhone more
private let's take a look at how to make
your iPhone more secure there's a few
settings here that I think are really
important uh that I want to touch on and
they're all in the face ID and passcode
section so we're going to tap on that
here in settings and first type in your
password great and in here we can
actually choose to set up an alternative
appearance for face ID and this is
useful if say you often wear sunglasses
or ladies if you change your hairstyles
or men if you grow beards sometimes face
ID can have trle uh trouble recognizing
you so in this case you can actually set
up a an alternative appearance and it
will make it uh work more easily and
more accurately for yourself beneath
that we also have the option to require
attention for face ID and this means
that when you're unlocking your phone or
say authenticating a payment with face
ID not only does it require you to be in
front of your phone it will also require
you to make eye contact with your phone
so you can actually test this if say
you're scanning your face and you're
looking off to the side it won't unlock
because you're not actually paying
attention or looking at your phone so
just an added measure of security so I
suggest you turn this on as well beneath
that we have probably the single most
important security setting on your
iPhone and that is this section here
called allow access when locked and this
basically determines what your phone can
do when it is locked so let's say it is
lost or stolen uh this means what can
what what can what can someone do with
your phone basically and ideally you'd
have all of this off right you wouldn't
want that person to access your Siri to
for example respond to a message uh to
access your wallet to your cards return
a call or plug in an accessory like say
a computer uh or USB drive to
potentially access your data right so to
start with I suggest you turn all these
off and then very selectively turn on
what you want on so for example uh what
I have on here is the lock screen
widgets right you saw I set those up
earlier that was to show the weather uh
and whether there's a chance for rain
this is you know very simple information
I don't mind that showing at all times
so I let that run constantly uh in fact
I'm going to turn off home control and
also live activities CU I had the
activity Rings right for the Apple watch
so I have that on too but all the other
ones I have off and I suggest you do the
same as well uh beneath that speaking of
when your phone is lost or stolen
chances are that person is going to try
to guess your password and enter uh or
basically break their way into your
phone this feature here erase data will
mean that after 10 failed attempts of
your password your phone is going to
automatically erase itself meaning that
even when your iPhone is lost and no
longer secure your data will be all
right guys that is all uh
