Pavel Jelic Setting the display brightness
The first step to extend the battery life is to adjust the display backlight. If you need to correct it manually, just go to Control center, where select the optimal value with the sun icon. However, iPhones have an ambient light sensor, according to which they can automatically correct the brightness. It is also recommended to achieve longer endurance. The human eye rarely judges when the display is too bright or, on the contrary, not enough. To do this, go to Settings -> Disclosure, where you tap on Display and text size and turn on Auto brightness.
