[ad_1] At the end of the test the “light mode” iPhone XS was dead, while the one running dark mode still had 30 percent battery life. That result is a pretty good justification for switching if you often drain your iPhone’s battery. Keep in mind that these aren’t exactly official tests and that real life […]

[ad_1] With iOS 12 last year, Apple’s big theme was stability. It’s not like there were no new features, but the real draw was that older devices might run a little better.

[ad_1] The move leaves the iPhone SE, 6S and 6S Plus as the oldest handsets to support iOS 13. In truth, it was somewhat surprising that Apple supported iOS 12 on the 5S in particular, given the device’s age, though that version of the OS was more of a performance upgrade. Still, the 5S, 6 […]
