APPLE fans have just now discovered a handy feature on their iPhones that will ensure you don’t run out of battery.
But the ‘life-changing’ trick only works if you have a fellow iPhone user by your side.
It can be frustrating if your phone dies at a crucial moment and you can no longer connect a charger.
But if you have a friend by your side who is also an iPhone owner, you might be in luck.
The iPhone 15 can act as a portable charger with this one smart charging feature.
You can charge other Apple devices like others models from iPhone, Airpods and Apple Watch with your mobile device.
The Apple website explains that if both devices have a USB-C connector, you can plug them in and share your battery.
If there are two iPhones, the one with a higher battery level will charge the other.
Once the iPhone is plugged in, the iPhone will automatically know which phone has a lower battery percentage and turn on while it itself is out of charge.
And the option isn’t just limited to iPhone 15, you can also boost the battery of older models.

You just need to make sure you have a USB-C to Lighting cable, as the iPhone 15 had to switch from Apple’s signature cord.
One user said online that their iPhone 15 lost nine percent of its battery, allowing an iPhone 11 to go from 10 percent to 32 percent.
Unfortunately, the feature is not available on older iPhones and they cannot charge each other or iPhone 15.
The charging hack is seen as a modern romantic gesture because it lets you show another iPhone user that you “really love them.”
One person wrote on Twitter: “This is how you show someone you really love them.”
Another said: ‘This is the future.”

Tips to save battery life
There are a few other things you can do if your device is low on power, such as turning on power saving mode.
This handy iPhone tool helps extend battery life when your device is running low on battery.
To enable or disable power saving mode, go to Settings, then Battery and enable power saving mode.
Another setting you can adjust that will drain your battery is the brightness of your screen.
Some experts suggest that keeping the screen brightness somewhere between 65% and 70% can save you a lot of battery power.
However, you should keep your brightness as low as your eyes can comfortably handle.
To change the brightness levels, simply slide your fingers from the top right of your home screen to the bottom.
Once you do that, you will see the brightness slider. Adjust this as desired.
