Two screen settings on an iPhone that can significantly impact battery life are Background App Refresh and Display Brightness. Background App Refresh causes apps to continuously use resources, draining the battery quickly, while Display Brightness is bad for the battery because the screen is one of the most power-hungry components of the iPhone. By turning off Background App Refresh and reducing Display Brightness, users can save a ton of battery power on their iPhone.
