Apple\u2019s iPhone with iOS 7 has a neat feature called Background Motion, which subtly moves your app icons and background image. While this feature is interesting, it drains the battery. To turn it off, go to Settings, General, Accessibility, Reduce Motion, and move the slider to green.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/b>Avoid Dynamic Backgrounds<\/b><\/p>\n
In iOS 7, animated wallpapers were introduced, which move underneath your app icons. These dynamic backgrounds use more battery than a traditional background image. This feature can easily be avoided, just don\u2019t select the Dynamic Backgrounds option in the Wallpapers & Backgrounds menu.<\/p>\n
4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/b>Stop Searching for Wi-Fi<\/b><\/p>\n

Auto-brightness is often more bright than necessary. To shut it off and save the battery, go to Settings, Wallpapers & Brightness, and disable auto-brightness. Also, turn the backlight down to save more battery life.<\/p>\n
6.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/b>Turn Off Location-Tracking<\/b><\/p>\n
