There are a few things you can do to optimize your iPhone. Speed up your iPhone and get the most out of it’s built-in performance by trying our top five tricks. While there might be other ways to handle optimization, the best way to speed up your iPhone is to apply a few simple principles that are common with desktop computers. The iPhone is a mobile computing device with WiFi, Bluetooth and web browsers and suffer from the same limitations as a laptop in regards to power consumption and general slow-down after time.
Tips To Improve iPhone Performance
Follow these tips to regain your iPhone’s speed:
- Reboot the iPhone. You should take a moment to reboot the iPhone to clear and refresh the memory. The iPhone will sty on forever unless it loses its charge, so once a week, be sure to hold the power button and reboot the device.
- Turn off WiFi and Bluetooth. If you’re not using them, turn them off. Anything you have running unnecessarily in the background will drain your battery and cause a loss in performance.
- Shut down apps you don’t need running. Twitter apps and other feed readers that are continuously going out on the Internet and performing tasks should be shut down unless you need them running. Pandora and other radio stations that constantly stream music should also be turned off unless you really need them to run. This is especially true if you’re away from a charging station and need to keep your phone going.
- Clear Safari Cache. Just with any web browser, Safari will run faster when the cache is not full. Open the Settings, then look for Safari and look for clear cache. You may want to clear the cookies and history while you’re in there.
- Restore the iPhone. The ultimate way to gain performance is to do a complete restore. This is similar to reformatting and reinstalling the OS on a PC. You perform this through iTunes, by clicking on the device and flipping to the summary tab. Click restore. Be sure to allow the iPhone to backup before the restore. Once complete, the iPhone wil literally be as good as new.
