Q: How to calibrate your iPhone battery in 4 easy steps

Step 1 - Charge your iPhone to 100%. Step 2 - Use it and it drains the battery completely, down to 0% until the iPhone shuts down. Step 3 - Keep your iPhone out of battery for a few hours. This is why it is ideal to do it in the evening. Step 4 - Re-charge the iPhone to 100% all at once and when it reaches 100%, keep it there for another 30 minutes.

Looking at ways on how to improve the iPhone's battery health? Battery Calibration could be your best bet!

Battery calibration is a method of improving the accuracy and optimizing the performance of your iPhone battery. With time and multiple charge cycles, battery metering systems may become misaligned and display incorrect information about the remaining battery capacity.

By calibrating your iPhone battery, you synchronize the operating system and the physical battery for a more accurate battery status reading. This means that when your iPhone shows that it is at 100%, the battery really is at 100%, and it requires no more charging.

What is iPhone battery calibration for?

It is essential to know that battery calibration, per se, does not physically increase the battery capacity. The aim is to give a more realistic reading and help your iPhone to manage power consumption more efficiently.

How often should you calibrate your iPhone battery?

Battery calibration is a simple process, although it does take a few hours to complete. Ideally, this should be done once or twice a year. This is more than enough to ensure that your iPhone battery works perfectly.
