I changed these 6 settings on my iPad to significantly improve its battery life


Getting more out of your tablet in a day means more work and more play.

That's the main reason I prefer keeping my brightness low, but the perk of a longer battery life makes it even more worthwhile. While turning off your iPad's location services won't double your battery life, it can add a good half hour or more of use. To switch these off easily, swipe down from the top right of your iPad's display, find your wireless options, and toggle off whichever ones you don't need.
