If your iPhone has suffered since the latest iOS update – this hack could give your smartphone battery life the upgrade it needs.
He claims that if you follow his instructions you will ‘never run out of battery’.
And it doesn’t require lots of technological know-how – in fact, he claims it’s ‘fool-proof’.

The iPhone trick to give you ‘unlimited cell phone battery’ takes mere seconds.
And it’s all about reducing White Point, per TikTok content creator, @t_sply. to selectively dim the brightness of your screen.
First, go into your iPhone settings and search for ‘Reduce White Point’.
When that screen loads, simply scroll it up to 100 percent to initially dim your screen.



Next, lower your screen Brightness all the way to ‘totally black out your phone’.
Go to Settings, then Display & Brightness and drag the slider.
Alternatively on the iPhone X or later you can simply swipe down from the top right-hand corner of your display to access the sun icon from the homescreen.
“This will maximize your cell phone’s battery life,” he claims.

Of course, if you need to view your screen then this ‘blackout’ may not be entirely helpful.
However, you can have a play with those two settings to find a sweet spot that optimizes battery, while being bright enough to navigate.
Other tips for optimizing battery health include not charging your iPhone battery to 100 percent.
Using Low Power Mode to deactivate a lot of battery-draining features, such as background app refresh, fast display refresh rates, and so on can also be helpful.

Apple CEO, Tim Cook, took a more straightforward approach, however.
He said that we should simply reduce our screen time to ensure the battery lasts until the end of the day.
But it seems like battery life may not be such an issue for those who invest in an iPhone 16 later this year.
A recent patent filing leak suggests the iPhone 16 lineup may have a significantly longer battery life than its predecessor.

All Supercar Blondie contributors undergo editorial review and fact-checking to ensure accuracy and authority in automotive journalism. After gaining her BA Hons in French and English at the University of Nottingham, Amelia embarked on a vocational diploma from the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ). This led to numerous opportunities, from interning at Vogue to being on the small team that launched Women’s Health magazine in the UK, which was named the PPA Consumer magazine of the year for three years running. As Health, Beauty and Fitness editor, Amelia personally received a Johnson & Johnson Award and was shortlisted for both PPA and BSME titles. Since then, Amelia has created content for numerous titles and brands, including the Telegraph, 111 Skin, Waitrose, Red magazine, Stylist, and Elle, as well as being Head of Content at Vitality and Editor in Chief at INLondon magazine. “My superpower is translating technical jargon about the mechanical workings of a supercar into a relatable story you’ll want to share with your friends after you’ve read it.” After joining the SB Media family as a senior journalist in September of 2023, Amelia’s role has evolved to see her heading up the SEO output of the editorial team. From researching the most ‘Google-able’ key terms to producing evergreen content - it’s been a time of hard work, growth, and success for the editorial team and the Supercar Blondie website. “I like to think of myself as a ‘method journalist’. In other words: I live and breathe whatever I am writing about. When writing about fitness, I trained as a personal trainer, and as a beauty editor, I completed an ‘expert’ in scent diploma with the Fragrance Foundation. “During my tenure at Supercar Blondie, however, I did something I never thought possible: I passed my driving test at the age of 36. One day I’d love to train as a mechanic to better understand what happens under the hood, too. “My sweet spot is providing readers with a ‘takeaway’ (read: something new they didn’t know before) after reading every one of my stories. While I don’t claim to be an expert in the automotive world, I know the experts and bodies in the field to rely on to provide our readers with an informative and thought-provoking story every time they visit the site.”
