Transcripts

so this is the iPhone 14 pro Max and

this is my iPhone 14 pro Max battery

health after eight months and in this

episode I want to show you how you can

achieve this or at least I'm going to

share with you my experience and how I

was able to maintain this for eight

months already and I don't see it

dropping at all anytime soon I don't

believe as long as I keep up these

habits now keep in mind first and

foremost iPhone 14 pro Max models some

of them and even iPhone 14 pros and any

iPhone 4 have you will not always be

perfect some of them are definitely

going to drain fast in others and you're

going to hear the random comment here

and there of a person who had a

ridiculous dream sometimes you get a dud

you get a phone that just drains faster

than others but for most these tips and

tricks should work out pretty well also

if you're feeling this case this

kickstand case with the mag safe I got

this case for like ten dollars I'm gonna

go ahead and Link that down below first

thing to do when you get your iPhone is

go to the battery section and turn on

your battery percentage you're going to

see it right up there in the battery

icon how much battery I have left now I

always pay attention to battery life and

the first thing I did was I made sure

that I always made sure that this thing

started charging before it goes below 40

and 50 percent now for this video right

after I'm done with this video I'm

throwing it on the charger this is a

habit I've maintained since I got this

phone and I think it's played into why

my capacity is still at 100. the next

thing I did was I go into settings and

in the battery section so go down to

battery and then go to battery health

and charging I immediately turned on

optimized battery charging and clean

energy charging so if those aren't on by

default in your iPhone go ahead and turn

those on now the optimized battery

charging will to reduce battery aging it

learns your daily charging routine and

it waits to finish charging past 80

percent until you need it so it'll

literally learn around the time you wake

up and then it'll like stop the charging

and it'll charge it when you get closer

to waking up which is really good now

the clean energy charging in your region

your iPhone will try to reduce your

carbon footprint by selectively charging

lower carbon emission electricity it is

available so just use the features apple

as unable to try to help your battery

but you can see like when you're

charging you'll see it like start

charging like around the time you're

going to wake up a little bit more and I

definitely have quite a bit of screen

time and you know so definitely I've

been using the heck out of this phone

and really my average screen time

Idols about nine hours three forty seven

on the active screen time but really

just enable those features you're going

to be very happy you did and I think

you'll be able to save yourself some

headache down the line of having to

replace a battery the next thing I don't

do is I don't blast the brightness guys

I mean there is situations and yes I

know you pay a thousand dollars I I

should be able to bash my brightness

Nick what you talking about no of course

go ahead and blast it when you feel

necessary but I'm saying that I don't

blast it all the time because I know

this wears my battery down and for the

majority of the day I actually think the

14 pro Max is too bright for indoors I

actually use reduced white Point indoors

a lot of the times but honestly I keep

it around 50 60 percent during the day

and I also leave on auto brightness so

if you go down accessibility I really

don't like how Apple has buried all the

way in accessibility but I leave on auto

brightness as well because that will

tweak the brightness to levels that keep

the battery pretty healthy and also

match the environment so I do do that

but I do find that having reduced white

point on is necessary with these 14 Pro

Models because the phones are just too

bright I think indoors but yeah

definitely watch your brightness levels

you don't want to be blasting it all day

long now the next thing I don't do is I

don't take my iPhone 14 pro max out into

extreme temperatures now this is not

always you know feasible for a lot of

people like they can't always avoid this

depending on where you live but I don't

really like using this when it's like

100 degrees outside or it's like

freezing cold I typically use these at

room temperature whether it's in a

controlled environment like a home or in

a car or even when I'm outside I

definitely use it if it gets quite warm

but I just don't use it in those extreme

temperatures and I think this is played

into why my battery life is still at 100

even eight months later because I've had

iPhones that they drop to 96 7 8 just in

a few months like three to six months so

already eight months and it's still at

100 and I think this is playing into why

and I'm telling you right now before you

start saying oh this guy doesn't even

use this phone because he's a reviewer

now this is my main iPhone every day I

always have this one with a Sim on it I

use this phone specifically along with

another Android phone every single day

at number five I don't use the camera

heavily now there's a caveat to that I

don't use it heavy when I don't have

a high battery percentage and that

doesn't mean that I won't use it if I

need to when the battery is low but I

typically like to keep my battery at a

high percentage if I know I'm going out

to do video in 4k vlogging or anything

like where I'm using action Mode photos

I don't really care about but when I'm

really pushing it with the video quality

stuff I definitely like to keep the

battery high so if you know you're doing

a lot of camera photography video that

day top your battery off it's only going

to save you in the long run because you

pushing the phone when it's already at

low battery is not going to do any do

you any favors for your long-term

battery health so definitely I like to

ensure that that's topped up it's not

even a big deal just charge your phone

up before you go out and do photos also

if I am making a YouTube video or

something with the camera I do like to

keep it plugged into a lightning while

doing

the video because while having it

plugged into a lightning cable into your

computer or even onto a charger or

anything it definitely keeps the battery

topped up now charging it while using

camera can warm it up a little bit too

because it's doing two things but I like

to ensure that the battery is keeping

keeping juice in it while using the

camera so that's just one thing I think

about when I'm using and this is one

thing I've done since I've had this

phone and I still have 100 battery

health number six I don't really run

heavy multitasking specifically when I'm

gaming so I don't really run like a Call

of Duty game if I'm playing a game I'm

playing a game I'm not going to be

playing a game and then hopping out of

here and doing and checking the weather

and then open another app and then you

know taking a photo at the same time

this stuff really heats the phone up and

I know this is the case because of all

the speed tests I've done when I do

speed tests and I'm opening up a

thousand apps at once and I'm you know

hopping between things or at management

running a benchmark like these Foams

heat up so

um you don't really feel it too much

again with a case but most phones if

you're heavily multitasking with them

they will heat up and I'm trying to

avoid things that heat up the battery

because I don't want to drain my

capacity so if I'm playing a game I'm

playing a game and that's what it is I'm

just playing the game if I'm using if

I'm browsing the web I'm just browsing

the web that's what it is I pop between

a few basic apps that's what it is I'm

just not really you know always heavily

multitasking and there's no real true

multitasking features on here so I

typically task switch you know one app

at a time and I stay put in that app for

a while and then I go to the other one

and then we keep it moving but I

definitely don't you know really demand

a lot of this phone all the time even

though it does have the capabilities and

I have had situations where I have

really pushed it but you know it's not

all the time and besides when you're

pushing without a bunch of apps at once

it just gets overwhelming on your mind

anyway now so far we talked about a lot

of Behavioral things I've done like

different behaviors and actions I've

taken to you know create better battery

life but but the next thing I did that

is actually something you can do

yourself just go ahead and go into your

general settings go to background app

refresh go through all these apps now I

specifically went through all of these

to see which ones I didn't want

refreshing in the background and as you

add new apps these will be automatically

turned on so you're gonna have to go

back and check but definitely go through

these and find out the ones you don't

care if they're refreshing the

background now what this means is that

when you go back into the application

you're going to have to manually refresh

it if it's a social media app or

something like that to go ahead and see

what's fresh and current and things like

of that sort so definitely you know keep

in mind which apps you use heavily and

you don't want to be constantly manually

refreshing but this one I think has

definitely saved my battery I do this on

pretty much all my iPhones this next one

is pretty big and I think it's a huge

reason why my iPhone is still at 108

months later

I'm constantly on Wi-Fi I'm in the

office I'm creating videos and then when

I go out and about I'm not really using

a ton of mobile data because when I go

out and about I'm specifically going out

with a purpose you know to go grab some

food to go grab you know a phone for

review to go do some exercise and I'm

not on my phone 24 7 like that when I'm

out and about but if you're the type of

Road Warrior or the person who's out and

about all the time on the 5G this is off

you're running that mobile data you you

work on the go

um which is a lot of people you know

this can definitely hurt battery life if

it's on 5G all the time but keep in mind

there is a way to help out there as well

so we go to Cellular here and then we

scroll over here to cellular data

options go to cellular data options now

you can use this mode right here data

mode and you can use low data mode

sometimes if you want to if you get your

batteries getting low throughout the day

and you want to save some of the battery

you can go ahead and put on low you know

data mode so definitely keep that in

mind it can definitely reduce

the data usage and stuff like that it

will be slower but it's not going to be

as severe you know using power on the

phone so I think my myself and just

using Wi-Fi a lot has really saved the

battery life uh capacity on this phone

not everybody's gonna be able to do that

now another thing I don't do and this

one is unavoidable for people who use

GPS for their work but I don't put the

GPS in a hot car window I've noticed

that the phone actually dims itself and

you can even get a warning that the

phone is getting too hot if you put the

iPhone in a hot car window again it's a

heating thing it's a heating issue you

don't want the phone getting too warm

iPhones like to operate at room

temperature is the best and if you have

apple carplay use it because it doesn't

make the phone as hot definitely so use

apple carplay if you have it if you

don't and you need to use your phone I

would keep it lower away from the window

because when it's in the especially if

you're in a hot climate if you're in a

cooler climate it doesn't really matter

but if you're in a hot climate and it's

always warm it's always very hot and the

Sun is beaming on your windshield

um definitely I don't do this and I

think this has helped as well and the

number 10 the last one on my list of

things I haven't done that really have I

think saved this battery capacity and

kept it at 100 is personal Hot Spot I'm

not gonna open up because my password

but I don't really use personal hotspot

this is another big heating one where

when you put the personal hotspot on

foam gets really warm because it's using

the full data to transfer to your

computer the phone definitely heats up

under personal hotspot so I haven't used

that much either I tend to prefer Wi-Fi

if at all available which it usually is

and so in conclusion my phone usage is

definitely heavy I use my phone every

single day heavy my iPhone 14 pro Max

doesn't make it a past a full day now

I've said in my videos you can go two

days you can but not with my type of

usage if you're a highlighter user a

medium user even a heavy user that's not

like on it all day but you're still

using it throughout the day you'll still

make it into the second day but you're

not going to be super high in battery in

that second day so that's something I

don't do I definitely charge it every

day I pay close close attention to the

battery life I mean there is the off day

where you're just you're just out of it

you're unconscious you're not paying

attention you're just living your life

and you just forget about it and it

doesn't matter but I don't remember the

last time I seen that thing turn red I

just don't let it get there and every

night I make sure I charge this thing

with an apple certified charger it

better be the Apple certified certified

charger or a certified magsave charger

from Apple themselves there are some

companies that do make certified charges

that are really good as well some anchor

charges I don't think would hurt it but

definitely I prefer using Apple product

to the Apple product I think it's safer

for the battery and that's about it so

I'm going to go ahead and put this thing

on an Apple charger and I'll catch you

guys all in the very next episode thank

you very much for watching and if you

found the video helpful entertaining and

forming click the like button for me and

I'll catch you on the next one peace
