iphone 6 plus lifespan. Extended runtime and battery life. Speaker dust protection

Update the software to the latest version.

Always make sure your device is running the latest version of iOS.

• If you're on iOS 5 or later, check if you have the update installed. To do this, open Settings > General > Software update.
• If an update is available, you can connect your device to a power source and update wirelessly, or connect to a computer and update with the latest version of iTunes.

Optimize settings.

Decrease the screen brightness or turn on auto-brightness to extend battery life.

• To lower the brightness, open the Control Center and slide the brightness level down.
• Automatic brightness adjustment adapts the screen brightness to the ambient light. To activate it, go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Display Adaptation and turn on the "Auto Brightness" option there.

When using the Internet, remember that a Wi‑Fi connection consumes less battery power than a cellular connection. Therefore, we recommend that you never disable Wi‑Fi. To turn on Wi-Fi, go to Settings > Wi-Fi, and then select the appropriate network.

Turn on power saving mode.

Power Saving Mode first appeared in iOS 9. It's an easy way to extend your iPhone's battery life when the battery gets low. Your iPhone will notify you when the battery level drops to 20% and then to 10%, and prompts you to switch to power-saving mode with one tap. You can also turn it on in Settings > Battery. Power saving mode reduces display brightness, optimizes device performance, and minimizes system animations. Apps, including Mail, stop downloading content in the background, and AirDrop, iCloud Sync, and Continuity are disabled. You can still use the basic functions: make and receive calls, read and send mail and messages, surf the Internet and much more. When your phone is charged again, the power saving mode will turn off automatically.

View battery usage information.

iOS makes it easy to keep track of your battery usage by showing you what percentage of battery each app is using (when the device is not charging). This data is displayed in Settings > Battery.

Below are the messages that may appear under the applications you are using.

background activity. This means that an app running in the background consumes battery power while you are using another app.

• To save battery life, you can turn off the feature that allows apps to update in the background. Go to Settings > General > Content Refresh and select the appropriate setting: Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi and Cellular Data, or Off to completely disable background content refresh.
• If the Mail app shows the "Background activity" message, you can choose to manually manage retrieval or increase the retrieval interval for automatic mode. Go to Settings > Passwords & Accounts > Data Downloads.

Location and background location. This means that the application uses location services.

• You can optimize battery life by turning off location services in apps. To do this, open Settings > Privacy > Location Services.
• The Location Services section shows all apps and the permissions they have. If the app has recently used Location Services, next to the On/Off switch indicator is displayed.

Home screen and lock screen. This means that your device was showing the home screen or the lock screen. For example, the screen wakes up when a notification is received or the home button is pressed.

• If an app's notifications frequently turn on the screen, you can turn off automatic notifications for that app. Open Settings > Notifications. Tap the desired app and turn off "Allow Notifications".

No cellular network coverage. Weak signal. Such messages appear in two cases. When you are in an area with poor cellular coverage and your iOS device is looking for a stronger signal. And also if you used your device in conditions that weakened the signal, which affected the battery charge.

• You can extend battery life by turning on Airplane Mode. To do this, open the Control Center and tap the Airplane Mode icon. Note that you cannot make or receive calls in Airplane Mode.

To charge your device, connect your computer to a power outlet and turn it on.

When you charge your iOS device via USB using your computer, you need to make sure that it is plugged in and turned on. If your computer is turned off, or in sleep or standby mode, your device's battery will continue to drain. Please note that iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS cannot be charged using the FireWire Power Adapter and FireWire Car Charger.

In a year, the battery of our iPhone can lose either 50% of its capacity, or 5%. It all depends on how we charge and use it.

So how to prolong his life?

In this article, I will share practical tips that I use every day.

We do not discharge the iPhone to 0%

By the evening, my iPhone is discharged to 20-30%. Perfect time to put it on charge.

But if you continue to use it, dropping the charge below 20%, over time it will have a very negative impact on battery life.

It’s not difficult for me to put the phone down for half an hour and recharge it a little.

Upon reaching 100%, the battery enters the "rest" state, the phone is powered by the mains.

Do not use the device in the cold

Yes, even Apple bans it.

“The iPhone is designed to be used at temperatures between 0 and 35°C and stored at temperatures between -20 and 45°C. If stored or used outside this temperature range, iPhone may be damaged and battery life may be shortened. Do not expose your iPhone to extreme temperature fluctuations or high humidity” - information from the official iPhone user guide.

First of all, the battery suffers.

I try to use my iPhone in the cold only for short periods and when absolutely necessary. Call, write a message, view the route. The less often, the better.

We do not charge the device in the cold

If you still used the iPhone in the cold, do not put it on charge right away. Not in the car, not at home, not from the powerbank. And if it's -30 °C outside, it will freeze even when in your pocket.

We wait until the iPhone case takes the usual room temperature, then we recharge it.

If the iPhone turned off in the cold and asks to connect it to the outlet, in no case do this. We wait.

Do not charge a hot device

The same goes for high temperatures.

iPhone can get hot in direct sunlight, such as in a car in the summer. Or after active use.

We wait until the device cools down, then put it on charge.

Don't use iPhone while charging

A logical conclusion from the previous advice. When using the iPhone while charging, it will begin to heat up actively. Over time, this will negatively affect the condition of the battery.

In addition, in this mode of operation, Lightning cables break faster.

We do not use charging from the iPad and we do not charge from the MacBook

Yes, in this way the iPhone charges faster, and there is nothing critical in this. But the battery wears out more actively.

If we charge the iPhone at night, we use only the supplied power adapter.

An adapter from the iPad may be needed if you urgently need to recharge it as quickly as possible during the day.

We use only original chargers

Chinese power adapters and Lightning cables are not fully protected and most often cannot safely charge an iPhone battery. The miser pays twice: saved on the cable, ruined the battery (at best).

We use only branded and certified Apple chargers. Yes, they are more expensive. But not more expensive than repairing our iPhone.

The same goes for choosing external portable batteries and car power adapters.

Outcome

The iPhone battery does not like:

• strong discharge;
• Chinese cables and power adapters;
• fast charging with a more powerful adapter;
• low temperatures;
• high temperatures;
• a sharp temperature drop;
• charging in a frozen or overheated case.

The article is also relevant for iPad, iPod and MacBook.

Of course, you don't have to worry too much. But if you use at least half of these tips, this will be enough to keep the battery in good condition.

Hello! When buying any device, you always want to know - how long will this whole thing last and when will you need to run for a new one? And if we are talking about the iPhone or iPad, then this issue becomes especially relevant. Still, Apple technology is not cheap - I would like to buy and use it for as long as possible, and not change it once a year or two.

Well, the desire is quite fair. But, unfortunately, it does not always come true. After all, our “Wishlist” is one thing, and the harsh reality is quite another. Let's take a look together at what life the company lays down for their devices and share our personal experience (I am in the article, and you are in the comments) about the life cycle of an iPhone or iPad. Let's go!

And immediately turn to the official data. Where to get them? You can, of course, look at huge agreements, documents and other terms of use on the Apple website, but it's much easier to look at the box with the device. Flip the package and see...

Service life - 5 years. And this is true for all mobile devices - iPhone, iPad, iPod. That is how much, according to the company, your device should work.

Conclusion one: the official shelf life of iOS devices is 5 years.

It would seem that this can be completed, but ... this information is contrary to the data that Apple itself uses. For example, on their website, in the answers section about environmental issues, they directly indicate that, according to their calculations, the average life of a product for one person is 3 years.

Conclusion two: The average life of using an iPhone or iPad (according to Apple) is 3 years.

Well, now a little personal experience about how much the iPhone can actually work. And now attention ... absolutely all the iPhones (that I have had up to this point) are still in working order. Even the old iPhone 4 () functions perfectly and sometimes really helps me out.

So if during the warranty period no marriage “crawled out” and the device is treated with care, then it can work for all 10 years. Although, of course, there are several points due to which such fantastic numbers will be “in question”:

If we talk about the iPad, then its lifespan is even longer. For one simple reason - after all, the tablet is used less frequently than the phone (fewer battery recharge cycles) and for most users it is not an essential item.

It's not for nothing that iPad sales are falling - why buy a new one if the old one works fine?

Conclusion three: in my opinion, Apple is not lying when it indicates in the documents that the service life of its devices is five years. Even for the iPhone, this is a more or less real figure, and there’s nothing to say about the iPad ...

Smartphones from Apple have firmly entered the lives of modern people. They are characterized by stylish design, wide functionality, high reliability. Such devices allow you to communicate, work, spend leisure time.

The best components are used to create iPhones. But still, the products have a limited working resource. Also, they often fail due to improper operation, various external influences, less often factory defects. To protect your gadget, you should use 3D glass on iPhone 7 and other effective methods.

Case - a guarantee of the safety of the smartphone

Using original chargers

Taking care of the flash

Speaker dust protection

Apple technology is high quality, stylish and has long been a trendsetter in the world of electronics. But the question arises, how long can a phone or tablet with a cherished apple on the back last?
For all Apple equipment, the manufacturer gives a 1-year warranty, with the possibility of extending up to 3 years, but how long do gadgets “live” really? Let's figure it out.

Technically, everything is simple. As a rule, gadgets are able to serve for more than a dozen years, but they become morally obsolete. If the device has served without interruption for the first year, then it will continue to work without problems. Electronic components do not wear out. But they can be of poor quality. And it takes about a year, so that due to various influences on the device, assembly errors are revealed, in fact, a guarantee is given for such cases.

There is an opinion that the touch panel can wear out, get dirty and work poorly from this. However, this is an exaggeration. Even a broken sensor can partially or even fully function for about semiof the year. Another, if you damaged the matrix, then you can’t do without a replacement.

The only thing that really wears out is the battery. And a few years ago, replacing the battery on an "apple" in the CIS countries was a problem. Today it is difficult to find a service center that does not offer a battery change service.

Under normal use, the battery lasts 3-5 years, so you'd rather buy a new phone than run out of battery life. In short, physically, your phone will last a very long time. But morally, it will become obsolete and its performance over time will not be enough for new, more demanding applications.

Like any laptop, Mac suffers from overheating of the video card. Reason - slip graphics chip from the board (the chip is held on board, on tiny tin balls, which are also its legs). This problem hit 2007-2009 Macs the hardest. But you must understand that all laptops that have broken with adequate care and handling have already broken. And those that have survived to this day will continue to work for a very long time.

Prevention of overheating of the MacBook can be cleaning the radiators from dust. Since this is the main reason for overheating in non-defective specimens. Like any other laptop, the MacBook is afraid of bumps, especially in the area of ​​​​the screen. But with proper maintenance, it will serve you for many years.

Some interesting statistics

32% of devices disappear from the network after the release of a new version of the iPhone. This means that the owners put them on the shelf, break them, lose them, etc. On average, a new device lives with the first owner for 13 months; used - 49. But the average life of the iPhone is a little more than the gap between releases of a new model.
