How To Squeeze More Battery Life Out Of IPhone X

Usually guides to increasing the battery life of phones and tablets involve impractical advice like disabling Wi-Fi, turning off all background activity, killing notifications, and other “tricks” that make using the device pointless. After all, you could gain almost infinite battery life simply by never switching your iPhone on. This piece of advice is just like those. It involves turning off the color on the iPhone X’s OLED screen to save juice. However, this tip actually turns out to be pretty useful, and makes the iPhone look totally badass, too. This trick was discovered by tech journalist Neil Hughes, who posted the results on Twitter. He calls it Unofficial Battery Saver Dark Mode, and it takes advantage of a trait unique to OLED screens. A regular LCD screen comprises a backlight, and a grid of colored pixels. The pixels change to create an image, and the light shines through those pixels, like a projector through a strip of movie film.
