How to improve iPhone 14 battery health

When purchasing a new phone, one of the most crucial factors to consider is battery life. This is because individuals have become much more reliant on their phones for both personal and professional reasons. The iPhone is a popular premium smartphone, but it can be a real pain if its battery drains faster than planned.

According to Apple, the iPhone 14 series has the “best battery life ever in an iPhone.”

What causes surges in battery usage?

  • Restoring backup on iPhone.
  • Downloading multimedia files that are large in size may lead to battery draining.
  • Using apps that constantly track location.
  • iPhones usually create more heat while restoring data and consume more battery.

Open Settings on iPhone

Click Battery

Go To Battery Health & Charging

Toggle Optimised Battery Charging to on

Another technique to boost iPhone battery life is to use Low Power Mode, which helps to extend the battery life of your phone. The feature pauses mail fetch, background app refresh, and auto-downloads, among other things.

How to Enable iPhone Low Power Mode:

  • Go to Settings
  • Scroll to the bottom and tap Battery.
  • Toggle Low Power Mode to on

Check the battery status on a frequent basis if you want the iPhone battery to live longer and charge faster. The iPhone does include a feature that allows users to monitor the status of their battery. Charge your phone no more than 80% of the way because iPhones have a function that automatically slows down charging speed once it reaches 80%.

Apple iPhone 14 prices in Pakistan; Import vs Local buy

Apple iPhone 14 prices in Pakistan
  • A 128 GB iPhone 14 can be purchased for about Rs. 381,999 in Pakistan.
  • The cost of importing an iPhone 14 will be around Rs. 274,541.
  • Depending on the vendor, you might have to pay for shipping.

At the moment, import tariffs in Pakistan are exorbitantly expensive, whether it be for automobiles, laptops, GPUs, or other goods.

This is the primary cause of Pakistan’s worsening smartphone price trends over time.

This month, Apple’s new iPhones arrived in Pakistan, and the local prices are as outrageous as you might anticipate.

The current exchange rate for a basic iPhone 14 is $799, which is equal to Rs. 192,343. On Telemart and other online shops, a 128 GB iPhone 14 can be purchased for about Rs. 381,999 in Pakistan.

But what would it cost for you to import an iPhone? Is it cheaper than purchasing a phone locally? Now that we have verified import tax data from FBR, we can finally respond to these queries.

These mobile phone import taxes were taken directly from an FBR document that was leaked.

Note: Mobile Levy = ML, Withholding Tax = WHT, Sales Tax = ST, and Regulatory Duty = RD.

  • Up to $30: RD (Rs. 300), ST (Rs. 200), WHT (Rs. 100) ML (Rs. 100)
  • $30 to $100: RD (Rs. 3,000), ST (Rs. 200), WHT (Rs. 100), ML (Rs. 200)
  • $100 to $200: RD (Rs. 7,500), ST (Rs. 1,680), WHT (Rs. 930), ML (Rs. 600)
  • $200 to $350: RD (Rs. 11,000), ST (17% of base USD value), WHT (Rs. 970), ML (Rs. 1,800)
  • $350 to $500: RD (Rs. 15,000), ST (17% of base USD value), WHT (Rs. 5,000), ML (Rs. 4,000)
  • $500 to $700: RD (Rs. 22,000), ST (17% of base USD value), WHT (Rs. 11,500), ML (Rs. 8,000)
  • Above $700: RD (Rs. 22,000), ST (17% of base USD value), WHT (Rs. 11,500), ML (Rs. 16,000)

These calculations suggest that the cost of importing a 128 GB iPhone 14 will be around Rs. 274,541. Following is a breakdown:

(RD) Rs. 22,000 + ST (17% of 192,343 = Rs. 32,698) + WHT (Rs. 11,500) + ML (Rs. 16,000) + phone value ($799 = Rs. 192,343). All of this adds up to Rs. 274,541, which is more than Rs. 100,000 lower than the local price.

Here is a comparison of the costs for every iPhone 14 model:

iPhone 14 and 14 Plus

Model Import Local Purchase
128 GB iPhone 14 Rs. 274,541 Rs. 381,999
256 GB iPhone 14 Rs. 302,707 Rs. 404,999
512 GB iPhone 14 Rs. 359,037 Rs. 454,999
128 GB iPhone 14 Plus Rs. 302,707 Rs. 499,999
256 GB iPhone 14 Plus Rs. 330,872 Rs. 529,999
512 GB iPhone 14 Plus Rs. 387,203 Rs. 569,999

iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max

Model Import Local Purchase
128 GB iPhone 14 Pro Rs. 330,872 Rs. 464,999
256 GB iPhone 14 Pro Rs. 359,037 Rs. 479,999
512 GB iPhone 14 Pro Rs. 415,368 Rs. 549,999
1 TB iPhone 14 Pro Rs. 471,699 Rs. 609,999
128 GB iPhone 14 Pro Max Rs. 359,037 Rs. 539,999
256 GB iPhone 14 Pro Max Rs. 387,203 Rs. 569,999
512 GB iPhone 14 Pro Max Rs. 443,534 Rs. 609,999
1 TB iPhone 14 Pro Max Rs. 499,865 Rs. 669,999

Since these costs were derived from US models, imported phones from other countries may have somewhat different costs.

It is also important to note that by paying these taxes, you will automatically receive PTA’s approval and won’t have to pay an additional cost.

The handsets’ final pricing are the import prices previously specified. Depending on the vendor, you might have to pay for shipping, but you can also arrange for someone to send it to you from abroad.

Please take note that you will not be required to pay withholding taxes on a phone that is transported as personal luggage.

Apple begins iPhone 14 production in India

Apple begins iPhone 14 production
  • Apple has officially begun manufacturing the iPhone 14 in India.
  • It will take a few weeks before clients can receive the Indian-made product.
  • Apple will save import fees and taxes by manufacturing the new iPhone 14 domestically.

Apple has officially announced that it has begun producing the iPhone 14 in India.

The newest iPhone model, which was just introduced, is the first to be made in the nation shortly after its release.

The Foxconn factory close to Chennai is where the smartphone is produced.

Since several years ago, Apple has been contract manufacturing four different iPhone models in India with the help of its business partners.

However, a quarter or two after its debut, the phone production cycles were delayed.

Apple will save import fees and taxes by manufacturing the new iPhone 14 domestically, but the brand won’t lower the smartphone’s price in the country, as it hasn’t done with the prior versions either.

Foxconn is a global leader in the production of electronics.

The ‘Made in India’ label will appear on the iPhone 14 when it is sold both domestically and internationally.

However, it will take a few weeks before clients can receive the Indian-made product.

“We’re excited to be manufacturing iPhone 14 in India,” Apple said in a statement.

“The new iPhone 14 lineup introduces groundbreaking new technologies and important safety capabilities.”

In a previous report, JP Morgan predicted that Apple would shift 5 percent of the manufacturing of the iPhone 14 to India by the end of 2022 and 25 percent of the total production of iPhones to the country by 2025.

Apple launches iOS 16.0.1 update with bug fixes for iPhone 14 series

Apple launches iOS 16.0.1
  • Apple is said to have made an iOS 16.0.1 upgrade available only for the most recent iPhone 14 series.
  • The new iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro models’ activation and migration are reportedly affected by problems that the update is supposed to fix.
  • A stable upgrade might be made available to registered users by the end of the month.

This week, Apple released the iOS 16 upgrade for a few selected older iPhone models as well as the freshly released iPhone 14 series.

Now, the Cupertino behemoth is said to have made an iOS 16.0.1 upgrade available only for the most recent iPhone 14 series.

The new iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro models’ activation and migration are reportedly affected by problems that the update is supposed to fix.

The company has released the first beta version of iOS 16.1 for registered developers. Next month might see the introduction of the stable upgrade.

Starting on September 16, customers can purchase the new iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Pro, and top-tier iPhone 14 Pro Max models.

According to a report by an international tech website, Apple just days after releasing iOS 16 on Monday, September 12, released the iOS 16.0.1 update for the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro models.

According to the claim, which used iOS 16.0.1’s release notes as support, the update contains improvements for problems preventing the new iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro from being activated and migrated.

According to reports, the update resolves problems with images on iPhone 14 Pro Max appearing soft when zoomed in landscape mode.

According to the latest update, problems that prevent enterprise single sign-on apps from authenticating will also be fixed.

The most recent update might be ready to install while the new iPhone 14 or iPhone 14 Pro models are being set up.

On Wednesday, Apple updated several of the features in iOS 16.1 beta 1 for the iPhone.

The update allows users to remove the Apple Wallet app and adds a battery % indication to the status bar for all iPhone models.

The update adds a Clean Energy Charging option and supports the Matter smart home accessories.

A stable upgrade might be made available to registered users by the end of the month.

Starting on September 16, the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max will be available for purchase.

On the other hand, the iPhone 14 Plus is anticipated to ship on October 7.

Shehbaz Sharif seems to use this smartphone

Shehbaz Sharif seems to use this smartphone
  • Shehbaz Sharif doesn’t seem to care about the latest smartphones
  • He was on a plane with PPP leader Bilawar Bhutto and UN Secretary-General António Guterres.
  • The new iPhone 14 is available now for pre-order in Pakistan.

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif doesn’t seem to care about the latest smartphones or upgrade to newer models.

He’s not using the latest iPhone, Samsung or Xiaomi, but a device that’s about 6 years old.

The prime minister’s central figure, Mohammed Abu Bakar Umar, said Shebaz Sharif was sitting on a plane with PPP leader Bilawar Bhutto and UN Secretary-General António Guterres during a visit to flood-hit Sindh.

He shared a video on Twitter showing the scenario.

At the end of the video, we can see the prime minister take out his phone with ease. It looks like an iPhone 7.

In a tweet, Umer said the prime minister never carried his phone in public and said it was the first time he had used it in a meeting. He used it to show the UN Secretary General a video of the flood.

In a comment Umer told why the prime minister doesn’t use the latest smartphones, Umer replied that he only uses phones for urgent work, not entertainment.

He also revealed that he was using a Nokia 3310 when he met the Prime Minister in 2011.

iPhone 14

Speaking of iPhones, the latest series is available now for pre-order in Pakistan.

There are four models of the new iPhone series: the 14, 14 Plus, 14 Pro, and 14 Pro Max.

The new iPhone 14 is even more expensive than the 13 series because import taxes have increased even more since last year.
