Everyone puts their iPhone on the table sometimes. Chances are that you do this with the screen facing up, but did you know that it is actually better to put the smartphone on the table with the screen facing down?

It is quite logical that many people put their iPhone on the table with the screen facing up. Usually the prevention of scratches is the reason behind it. Especially when a consumer does not use a case. However, it is advisable to place your iPhone the other way around on the table. Especially for users who receive a lot of notifications during the day.

You may not immediately expect it, but turning your iPhone over can have a positive effect on your battery. As soon as the screen is up, you will see that it lights up with every notification. You can prevent this by placing your smartphone with the screen facing down. Your iPhone detects the position, which keeps the screen off. A handy way to save a little battery.
