11 errors in using iPhone
Ekaterina Bochkareva1. Never turn it off
You really should turn off your phone at least once a week, otherwise the battery will drain faster than it should. According to experts, the battery deteriorates when we do not use the smartphone while it is on. If you use your phone as an alarm clock, consider replacing it with a regular, cheap watch, or turn off your iPhone for periods of time during the day.
2. Leave Wi-Fi and Bluetooth always on
When both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are turned on on your iPhone, but neither is used, energy is wasted. In everyday life, you probably don't need Wi-Fi and Bluetooth always on. It's better to turn them off and turn them on only when necessary.
3. Use it in bad weather
Your iPhone is not designed to withstand extremely hot or cold temperatures, so you shouldn't use it outside when it's below 0 degrees Celsius or above 30 degrees Celsius. Because of this, the battery is depleted, and the phone also freezes for a while. If you know in advance that you will have to go out in bad weather, turn off your iPhone or at least keep it in your pocket, away from the weather.
4. Leave it to charge overnight
While it's convenient to leave your iPhone charging overnight, some people think it's not the best idea. This topic has caused a lot of controversy. Many people agree on one thing: leaving the iPhone on after it's fully charged is harmful. Because of this, the battery deteriorates over time and the phone runs out faster.
“The battery will perform better if you disconnect it from the power source before it reaches 100%. Leaving your phone on the charger when it's already fully charged will reduce the performance of your smartphone slightly,” Gizmodo wrote last year. Try charging it throughout the day so you can turn it off immediately when fully charged. Well, or use a special timer for this.
5. Fully charge or discharge the battery
Lithium-ion batteries—the kind used in iPhones—work best when they're charged between 50 and 80 percent, Shane Broesky, founder of Farbe Technik, a battery-charging accessory company, told Digital Trends. On the other hand, if the battery is completely discharged, the battery will enter a “fully discharged battery state”, because of which the ions will not be able to hold a charge for long, Apple representatives note. By recharging the battery at short intervals, the battery ions receive enough energy to operate for a long time and increase its lifespan, he adds. Charging the battery is akin to having snacks and meal breaks throughout the day. Think of it this way.
6. You are not using an Apple charger
Apple chargers are expensive, but they're worth the expense. Using chargers from other brands may have negative effects on your phone. According to some reports, counterfeit chargers even cause fires and explosions. That's why Apple created a return program for USB charging adapters. According to it, since August 2013, in exchange for fake chargers, users received a discount on real Apple chargers. (Discounts were valid until August 18, 2013).
7. Don't clean it
Your iPhone looks disgusting. Well, it's really disgusting. There are fewer germs on your pet's toilet seats and dishes than on your iPhone. Apple recommends wiping your device with a “soft, lint-free cloth.” In addition, devices with ultraviolet radiation are used to disinfect the phone. Don't forget to clean the charging port. This is where debris from pockets and wallets gets stuck and accumulates, causing connection problems. Use a toothpick, a thin needle, or the sharp end of an earring to remove dirt from there.
8. You walk around with your phone in your hands without noticing anything.
Whether you realize it or not, the iPhone is a valuable item on the black market and a desirable target for thieves. About 40% of thefts in large cities in 2013 were thefts of mobile devices. The American Federal Communications Commission reported this last year. Therefore, it is not safe to walk with your phone in your hands, with your head in the clouds.
9. Didn't protect it with a password
Half of iPhone users don't set a lock password on their phones, Apple reported in 2013. If you haven't set a passcode on your iPhone, if it's stolen, thieves will get full access to your data and personal information. A password is the easiest way to protect personal data from intruders.
10. Give access to your location to all applications in a row
Apps like Maps need “location access” in order to function correctly. However, they usually notify you when you need to enable this feature. Other applications work fine without geolocation. Go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services and deactivate the feature by disabling it in all non-essential applications. Your battery will thank you.
11. Allow push notifications in every application
Push notifications keep your phone on high alert and require a constant data connection, draining your battery. When the phone receives another notification, the display lights up, thereby reducing battery life. Researchers also found that notifications make it difficult to concentrate. Go to Settings > Notifications and select only one important app.
