One of the biggest mysteries of the iPhone is how Apple manages to get a full day’s worth of performance from the iPhone when it features a battery that is not rated more than 2400 mAh. When you look at Android devices, you will see smartphones featuring huge 4000 mAh+ batteries in order to deliver that one-day battery life.
The key to Apple’s success is the optimized iOS platform. Apple has designed their mobile OS in such a way, that apps only go full throttle when they are needed. When you have apps running in the background, they either go on a sleep mode sort of activity, or they turn off entirely. This saves on precious battery life, and thus allows iPhones to deliver that stellar battery performance.
Along with delivering great battery performance, the iOS platform also allows users to see how exactly the battery is performing, and what apps are putting a load on the overall battery life. Using these statistics, you can take necessary actions in order to save the battery life, and extend the usage of your iPhone.
Let’s take a look at how you can check what is draining the iPhone battery.

Open the ‘Settings’ app on your iPhone.
Scroll through the settings menu and tap on the ‘Battery’ option.
Now, you will see battery statistics pertaining to your iPhone. Scroll through the list and you will see a column that shows battery usage by app.
You will now see which apps are putting the highest load on the battery, and if you notice a particular app loading the battery too much, you can immediately end it from the background app section.
One more thing that you can check within the same settings, is battery health. when you buy a new iPhone, the battery will be 100% healthy. However, as time goes on, after repeated charge and discharge cycles, the battery health starts going down.
If this battery health is very low, you will see that the iPhone charges to full capacity very fast and discharges even faster. In such cases, the battery health statistic can help you react in time, and get the battery replaced.
