When you first get the phone make sure you take it out, fully charge and then leave to completely run out of battery. Repeat this a few times. Doing this sets the maximum battery capacity for future charges on the device.
AirDrop is now available for iPhone 5, 5s, and 5c devices running iOS 7, allowing you to share files and photos with friends and colleagues over the air when they are in close proximity. But its use can take a heavy toll on your battery, particularly when AirDrop is in "discoverable" mode. Simply swipe up from your home screen to bring up the Control Center, then tap AirDrop. SelectOff when you're not using it.
Tap the Settings icon, scroll down to iTunes & App Store and turn off the Updates and Apps settings. Another quick power (and data) saving tip: You can allow updates when you're on Wi-Fi only by deselecting Use Cellular Data at the same time.
Go to Settings > Privacy >Location Services > System Services, then switch off the Frequent Locations option. You can also delete any data already collected by tapping Clear History at the bottom of the screen.
A fancy feature that looks cool, however it takes a serious hit on your battery!
To disable the "moving wallpaper" feature, head to Settings > General > Accessibility > Reduce Motion, then flick the switch in the on position.
This means the phone is constantly monitoring every movement the device makes and therefore uses processing power to achieve this.
Head to Settings > General > Siri, then disable the Raise to Speak button to disable the feature. The alternative isn't so bad: You can still hold down the home button to speak to Siri.
Ok this is a step for people who are actually going to check this, but the higher the brightness (durr) the more battery it is using to light the screen, in full dayling you do not need full brightness!
Go to Settings > Wallpapers & Brightness, then reduce the brightness to 10-25 percent, or whatever feels comfortable.
Or just swipe up to open the app center and change the brightness level.
Go to Settings > Wallpapers & Brightness and scroll down, then tap your existing wallpaper under Choose Wallpaper. Either select a background from the Stills category, or a static photo of your own choosing.
Do you not know where you are?
Go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services. When On, scroll down to System Services, then uncheck all of these items. When you're not using Location Services, such as GPS, then simply turn it Off.
This is another must have, annoying to keep unlocking your device but saves valuable battery life by not leaving the phone unlocked and active whilst you are away from it.
Go to Settings > General > Auto-Lock, then set this to 1 Minute or 2 Minutes, depending on your preferences. The shorter the time period, the greater the benefits to your iPhone's battery life.
Close unused or dormant apps. In an unlocked state, double-press the Home button on your iPhone, and swipe up on any open app to close it. You can then return to your device by pressing the Home button again, or tapping the very first "card."
Software updates, ensure this is fully up to date as it could release a fix to enhance the battery life, to do this go to Settings > General and then Software Update. Make sure you're connected to a Wi-Fi network before downloading anything to save money on your data plan.
The warmer your iPhone gets, the faster the battery will deplete. Sometimes it's better to keep your iPhone out of your pocket and carry it in your bag or avoid cases which heat it up. Plus if it gets super hot it may melt your phone... ok... slight exaggeration you caught me!
Conclusion
I hope some of the above tips help you with your quest for a better battery life of your Apple device.
