How to save battery on the iPhone 12 and 12 Pro

5G

There are many answers and possible actions to maximize battery saving in our new iPhone 12 and 12 Pro launched a few weeks ago, but today we will focus directly on one of the most outstanding functions by the Cupertino firm itself, 5G connectivity.

Yes, the smartest will already know what we mean by this, dEnabling this 5G connection offered by the iPhone 12 and 12 Pro can be crucial to reduce battery consumption. It may seem a contradiction that one of the main novelties of these iPhone 12 has to be deactivated at the first change, but the battery saving that it supposes clearly compensates for the possibilities of enjoying this connection 100%, at least in our country .

By this we mean that while the entire 5G infrastructure is not up and running in our country or yours, you can manually deactivate the 5G connection of the iPhone that it comes automatically activated from origin. This automatically means that the device is constantly changing in 4G and 5G if we have this type of coverage in our area to connect, so choosing the 4G or 5G option for those that do have good coverage is the basis for saving battery.

Disable 5G

The resources that the iPhone uses to connect to one or another data network are eliminated with this simple action, so it is important for those of us who do not have 5G coverage because of where we live or because the operator itself does not have support, use 4G mode directly as network access method. This is done from Settings> Mobile data> Options> Voice and Data. In this section we choose 4G and leave the rest unchecked.

As you can see in the upper screenshot, the "automatic 5G" option is used intelligently to avoid high battery consumption, but if we are clear that we will not use this connection, it is best to stay with 4G and that's it. In the case of the «activated 5G», the battery consumption is not looked at at all, even though it is high.

It is evident that this reduces the battery consumption of our iPhone 12 since it does not have to be permanently searching for the network and jumping between these and the 3G, etc ... But it must be clear that this does not work miracles although it is true that it is interesting to know that we can activate or deactivate 5G whenever we want.
