iOS7 Minimalist Settings
September 29, 2013 Leave a comment
I finally upgraded to 5S [from 4] with 32GB and I configured mine to use the minimum amount of energy and bandwidth. I did add a battery case – Maxboost Fusion to give me an additional 3 hours of uptime. My AT&T account has a cap of 2GB per month and I think this is still a good data plan [minimalist] considering that I am not planning to watch videos on LTE nor plan to stream Spotify when I am not using WIFI. I’m using the Spotify Offline Mode and downloaded all my Hillsong music from home. Mainly, the use of this gadget is for reading, blogging and listening to sermons and music.
Here’s the simplified version of what cnet had mentioned at their site. Please do read the cnet articles so that you can understand what items are being turned off and the reasoning.
1. Settings-General-Background App Refresh, mine is turned OFF.
2. Settings-iTunes & Apps Store and scroll to the Automatic Downloads, mine is turned OFF
3. Settings-Privacy, Location Service=OFF, mine is turned OFF
4. Settings-General-Spotlight Search, mine is all turned OFF
2. Settings-General-Accessibility, Increase Contrast=ON; Reduce Motion=ON, mine is all turned ON
3. Settings-General-Usage, Under Storage, Study the Apps that is holding a lot of space and if you don’t use it, Delete the App
