Hello Nimer, I agree for the most part as long as you have auto brightness on which rarely puts your brightness about 20 or 25% unless you are outside in bright sunlight. I would say you might notice a difference if you set it to 90% manually or 0%, though. Whether given exactly the same usage

Here is what Apple has to say about it: Face ID works best when the device is arm’s length or less from your face (25 - 50 cm away from your face). For all you americans out there who don’t know a centimetre from a Kilogramm, 25 cm is 10 inches and 50 cm is 20 inches. So, you should hold it at

If you turn ringtone volume to 100% and then disable change with buttons it should stay at 100%. If change with buttons is enabled there is a much greater chance that you might accidently turn the ringer volume down if you press the volume down button while it is ringing. I am not sure why your

Even setting brightness to zero won’t really make any dent in the battery. If it does, it is a negligible amount. This has a lot to do with the type of display technology used. In an iPhone X, this should make a more meaningful impact on battery performance. If someone disagrees, they should
