The trick is applied to different iPhone models |
Then, go to Settings > Battery > Battery Health and enable the Optimized Battery Charging feature. Kadama says that after following these instructions, the battery on users’ iPhones will last longer.
With this approach, although iPhone battery life will be improved, applications will not update in the background when Background App Refresh is turned off. This means that updates an app normally generates in the background, like sports scores, stock market prices, or the latest temperature, won’t update until the user opens the app.
