Although Apple claims that its iPhones have a great battery performance, the reality is that power users can barely use it for a few hours. If you use your iPhone regularly to play games, watch videos, chat with friends, browse the web and do other kind of stuffs, then the battery must be running out pretty quickly.
Charging iPhones is a time consuming process, which is why many of us prefer to charge it overnight. Sometimes you might forget to do it and just when you’re about to head out, you notice that there’s not much battery left and you don’t have much time to charge it enough.
If you’re looking for a way to charge your iPhone much faster, then you’ve come to the right place. There are a couple of tricks to force your iPhone to charge faster than before. The trick is quite simple, the less your iPhone is working, the faster it will charge.
So without further ado, here are the 4 simple tricks to charge your iPhone much faster than before.
4 Ways to Charge Your iPhone Faster
1. Enable Airplane Mode
When you connect your iPhone to the charger to restore battery, the device will continue to consume power while it’s plugged in. This is because it is still connected to the carrier network and other wireless networks, so it will continue to send and receive data from WiFi, cellular and Bluetooth. This power consumption means that the charging time will get prolonged.
If you turn on Airplane Mode, your iPhone will charge much faster because it is no longer consuming power for wireless and cellular connections. To toggle on Airplane Mode, swipe up from the bottom of the screen to open Control Center. Then tap on the airplane icon to enable Airplane Mode.
The only drawback is that you cannot cannot make calls, send and receive texts, or do anything else with your iPhone that requires an internet connection. If you don’t have much time to charge, then this simple trick is going to be worth it because your iPhone will get charged much faster.
2. Disable WiFi, Cellular Data, and Bluetooth
If you don’t want to enable Airplane Mode because you have to make important phone calls or send text messages, then an alternative solution would be to manually disable WiFi, Cellular Data, and Bluetooth. Cellular Data is a resource intensive feature that consumes a lot of battery. If you disable it while your iPhone is plugged in to the charger, you’ll notice an improvement in the charging speed.
To disable WiFi and Bluetooth, swipe up from the bottom of the screen to open Control Center. Then toggle off these two features. If Cellular Data is enabled, you can disable it by going to Settings > Cellular, then toggle off Cellular Data.
3. Lower the Screen Brightness
Another thing that effects the charging speed of your iPhone is the screen brightness. The higher the screen brightness, the more power your iPhone will consume. Therefore, you can improve the charging speed of your iPhone by reducing the level of the screen brightness. In this way, your iPhone will also consume much less battery than if the screen brightness was set at the maximum level.
To alter the screen brightness, swipe up from the bottom of the screen to open Control Center. Now swipe the brightness slider to the left to reduce the screen brightness level.
4. Disable Location Services
Location Services is another resource intensive feature that has a high battery consumption. If you keep it turned on while your iPhone is charging, then it will take a lot longer to charge because Location Services will continue to use up battery while your iPhone is plugged in.
To improve the charging speed, make sure that you disable Location Services when your iPhone is plugged into the battery charger. To do so, open Settings and go to Privacy. Tap on Location Services, then turn off its toggle.
These are the 4 simple ways in which you can improve the charging speed of your iPhone. If you find yourself charging your iPhone frequently, then I’d recommend that you keep a power bank with yourself. It will come in handy when you’re not at home and your iPhone’s battery is running out. You can carry the power bank anywhere and charge your iPhone whenever you want.
Apple recommends that iPhones go through at least one full recharge cycle every month to improve their battery life. What this means is that you should charge your iPhone to 100%, then let it drain completely until it switches off.
