1. Fixing Battery Drain & Optimization
iOS 18 does heavy background indexing for the first 48 hours. If drain persists, use these settings.
- Charging Limit: Go to Settings > Battery > Charging. Set it to "80% Limit" or "Optimized" to prevent heat build-up.
- Background Activities: Go to Settings > General > Background App Refresh. Turn it OFF for social media apps like Facebook/Instagram.
- Always On Display: Go to Display & Brightness > Always On Display. Turn OFF "Show Wallpaper" to save significant battery.
2. Fixing Camera Control & OIS Issues
The new dedicated "Camera Control" button can be too sensitive, causing accidental clicks or blur.
- Adjust Sensitivity: Go to Settings > Accessibility > Camera Control. Change "Double Click Speed" to Slower or adjust "Pressure" sensitivity.
- Fix 48MP Delay: Go to Settings > Camera > Formats. Use "HEIF Max" instead of "ProRAW Max" for faster shutter speed without lag.
- Lens Correction: Ensure "Lens Correction" is enabled in Camera settings to fix wide-angle distortion.
3. Solving Titanium Overheating
Titanium conducts heat differently than steel. The iPhone 16 Pro uses a new thermal substructure, but software can still heat it up.
- Clean Energy Charging: Go to Battery > Battery Health. If "Clean Energy Charging" is causing slow/hot charging, toggle it OFF temporarily.
- 5G Auto: Go to Cellular > Cellular Data Options > Voice & Data. Select "5G Auto" instead of "5G On" to prevent modem overheating.
- System Haptics: If keyboard typing feels hot, turn off Haptic Keyboard in Sounds & Haptics.
4. Resolving WiFi 7 & Connectivity
iPhone 16 Pro supports WiFi 7, but older routers might struggle with the handshake.
- Reset Network Settings: Go to General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset Network Settings. (Fixes 99% of drops).
- Private Wi-Fi Address: Go to WiFi Settings > Information (i) icon. Toggle "Private Wi-Fi Address" to Fixed/Off if your home router keeps disconnecting.
- Limit IP Tracking: Turn ON "Limit IP Address Tracking" in Cellular Data options for better privacy and stability.
Additional Maintenance (Steps 13-15)
- Step 13 (App Updates): Long press App Store icon > Updates. New iPhones require updated apps to run 120Hz ProMotion correctly.
- Step 14 (Live Activities): Go to Settings > Face ID & Passcode. Turn OFF "Live Activities" if you don't need real-time lock screen updates.
- Step 15 (Force Restart): Press Vol Up, Press Vol Down, Hold Power Button until the Apple Logo appears. This clears cache without data loss.
