“I worked on the Genius Bar for almost two years, and the most difficult issue to solve was short battery life,” Scotty Loveless writes for Overthought. “It was extremely difficult to pinpoint the exact reason why someone’s battery was draining.”

My goal is to deliver practical steps to truly solve your iOS battery woes.”
“One quick thing before we start — 99.9% of the time it is not actually iOS that is causing your battery to drain quickly,” Loveless writes. “I guarantee you that if you erased your phone and there were no apps or email on it, it would last for ages.
