A very intensive iPhone user will recharge his phone every day!
There are ways you can do to preserve your iPhone’s battery life. Here are eight tips for extending the life of your iPhone battery:
1. Keep your iPhone’s Wi-Fi switched off.
If the iPhone’s Wi-Fi is switched on, it will always look for open hotspots. Hence, it will surely drain

2. Reduce your screen’s brightness.

The built-in GPS is a cool feature of the iPhone as this lets your phone know where you are. It can also give you the driving instructions to a restaurant and other places.

4. Turn off Push Notifications.
Push notifications are the pop-ups that appear on your screen when buddies your friends check-in somewhere or when new data becomes available. Turning off this feature will reduce the number of times the phone connects over a network.
To turn off Push Notifications, go to Settings -> Notifications. Select the apps that use this service heavily, and toggle those apps’ alert style to None.
5. Turn Bluetooth off.
Bluetooth is useful for users with wireless earphones or headsets. However, transmitting data wirelessly can drain your battery. It is advisable that you only turn on the Bluetooth when you need it.
