Keep your iPhone software up to date with the **most recent version.** Apple frequently releases software upgrades that include sophisticated energy-saving technology to improve a device's performance and usefulness. It is important that you maintain your device software up to date to guarantee that you do not lose out on new features. Note: **Before updating your device software,** make sure you have a backup of your vital files, either via iCloud or iTunes. \
Updates for iOS can be downloaded wirelessly or via iTunes. Follow these procedures to update wirelessly:

1. Connect your iPhone to a **power supply.**
2. Wi-Fi allows you to connect to the Internet.
3. Go to the **Settings tab.**
4. Select the General option.
5. Tap Software Update to see what upgrades are available.
6. Tap Download and **Install** if an update is available.
7. If you're requested to uninstall applications temporarily to make room for the upgrade, choose Continue or Cancel.
8. To finish the game, follow the **onscreen instructions.**

**While charging, remove the phone case.** When you charge a gadget while it's within a case, it might create a lot of heat. This may have an impact on the [battery](https://www.mindstick.com/news/2755/a-new-kind-of-gravity-battery-might-have-unlimited-energy-storage)'s capacity. When you charge your smartphone, it gets hot. This is an indicator that you should remove the case.

If you don't use it for a long time, keep it half-charged. If you aren't going to use your iPhone for a long time, Apple suggests leaving it half-charged. This suggests that the device's battery should be charged roughly **50%. Keep** in mind that the ambient temperature and the percentage of charge on the battery, while it's shut down for storage, will have a**n impact on the overall health of your battery.**
