Clean iPhone from dirty, remove stains from the phone's exterior, scrub with a small amount of anhydrous alcohol on a soft, lint-free cloth, rather than use strong chemicals, cleaning agents, or strong detergents to clean your iPhone.

If you need to change a new battery, you may choose an alternative battery for your old iPhone. Still, the original Apple battery is better than batteries of other brands, as the original battery's performance is far better than battery replacement.

For iOS 13 and later, Optimized Battery Charging is a way to maintain iPhone battery health and extend the battery's lifetime by reducing the time your iPhone spends fully charged. Go to Settings > Battery > Battery Health > Optimized Battery Charging to turn off the feature.
