Fast Fast Now Charge Your iPhone Faster
Fast Fast Now Charge Your iPhone Faster dont worry. complaining about your smartphones short battery life or the amount of time it takes to charge up are classic examples of the first world problems that can result in impatience and mild irritability.
While weve previously looked at ways in which you can improve your iPhones battery life, were now taking a look at how you can make the darn thing charge a bit faster.
Theres no secret sauce, unfortunately, but there are a few tips and tricks you can employ to get your cells battery from flat to full in less time. Have a read of our suggestions below.
Turn It Off
If you want your iPhone to charge faster, anecdotal evidence suggests turning it off — so its not using any power while its juicing up — will cut down charge times.
If you dont want to hit the power button, then putting your handset in "Airplane Mode" (from the "Settings" menu) will stop your phone looking for cellular and Wi-Fi signals and can speed up the process.
At the very least, try not to use your phone while its on charge. Lock the screen by hitting the sleep/wake button on the top right of your handset to give it a break while it recharges.
Use a Wall Charger
Your iPhone will charge fastest from a power outlet, rather than via a USB port. Apples official advice "for the quickest charge" is to "connect the device to a power outlet using the USB cable that came with the device and an Apple USB power adapter."
Did you know that a batterys ability to hold a charge is significantly degraded by extreme temperatures?
Apple states that "heat will degrade your batterys performance the most" and advises that you "keep your iPhone out of the sun or a hot car (including the glove box)."
Certain cases and covers that trap heat can also be problematic. If your iPhone gets hot while you charge it in a case, then you should notice a difference if you remove it prior to charging.
The official advice is to keep your iPhone as near room temperature (22 degrees Centigrade or 72 degrees Farenheit) as possible.
Speed Up USB Charges
If USB charging is your only option, there are ways to speed this process up.
If youre looking for a fast charge, dont sync your iPhone at the same time. Its also advisable to remove all other USB devices that might be drawing power.
Dont let your computer go into standby or hibernation mode while youre trying to juice up your phone. This might actually drain your handsets power, and could stop the charging process, in some cases
Battery Maintenance
Finally, Apple offers some advice about how to properly maintain your iPhones battery.
"For proper maintenance of a lithium-based battery, it’s important to keep the electrons in it moving occasionally. Be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down)."
