Love this camera but the battery drains fast… any tips?

You should get a power bank. Anker makes some solid ones! I use the Anker 622 wireless charger—affordable and works great.

I avoid MagSafe because it makes my phone heat up, especially when taking photos. Instead, I just stick it to the back and use the USB cable it comes with.

Oh really? I was thinking about trying MagSafe.

It’s really up to you! I just find it gets a bit too warm for my liking. It’s not burning hot or anything, just enough to be annoying when holding the phone.

@Tate
Got it, thanks for the advice!

I use the AnkerMag Go that Apple sells. Works really well for me! It does get a little warm, but it comes with a grip like a PopSocket, so it’s easier to hold.

Appreciate the suggestion! I’ll check it out.

I have the opposite problem :sob: Can you share your camera settings?

Same here! I can’t seem to get the right settings.

I don’t really have battery issues, but I guess it depends on how you use it and what case you have.

Yeah, normal days are fine, but I travel a lot, so I’d like a good wireless charger just in case.

I’d recommend a wired power bank. Just charge during breaks—lunch, waiting in line, in a taxi, etc. That’s what I did with my 13 Pro. When I upgraded, I finally went with the Pro Max because of the battery life!

Why didn’t you just get the Pro Max then?

My hands are too small :joy: and I don’t like massive phones.

I have small hands too, but sometimes you just gotta go with what’s practical.

@Skyler
I’m happy with my 16 Pro! Just need to find a solid wireless charger now.
