Many iPhone owners know the feeling of dread when they see a “low battery” notification flashing on the screen.
Given how addicted we are to our phones, losing power means losing our connection to the world.
But one tech enthusiast has shared an ‘anti-fool’ trick that gives devices ‘unlimited power’.
The hack will come as welcome news to those who updated their iPhones to iOS 17.1.1 last week only to join the chorus of complaints that the new software has ruined battery life, with some reports of the charge draining within a few hours.
It only takes a short trip into your iPhone’s settings to get the battery back on track.
A tech enthusiast has shared an ‘anti-fool’ trick that gives iPhones ‘unlimited power’. The hack will come as welcome news to those who updated their iPhones to iOS 17.1.1 last week, joining the chorus of complaints that the new software has ruined battery life.
The hack, which comes from TikTok user @T_Sply, promises “unlimited mobile battery” just by selectively dimming your screen. Once you’re in your iPhone’s Settings, tap on Display Accessibility and Text Size and turn on the Reduce White Point option

Doctors say melatonin levels typically start rising around 9 p.m., increase throughout the night and peak in the early morning hours.
By 9:30pm each night, your brain’s pineal gland typically releases melatonin, preparing your brain for sleep.
Very bright lights, including those from all the social media scrolling on your phone in the evening, can disrupt this process.
True: Some users may find that this hack makes it difficult to read messages and other texts on their phones — but fortunately, there’s a solution there, too.
Reducing the white point is no different from adjusting the brightness on your iPhone’s home screen, which means you can tweak both to find the perfect point that maximizes your phone’s readability and sucks up battery power by lighting up your screen.
Swipe down from the top of the screen and increase the brightness level using the sun icon on the home screen.
