Rossen Reports: How to make your old iPhone run like a new one
high. Let's get right to the rundown first. Apple just announced the new iphone hitting store shelves but many of us look at that price and we're like, no way I just found the key things you can do to make your old iphone run like new. Then flight delays and cancelations often mean the airline owes you money or vouchers. But what do they owe you? We have the update on the new website that will help you find out one stop shopping. Finally, you'll soon be able to renew your passport online. No more lines. No more long wait times I have the details first. If buying *** new iphone isn't in your budget right now you don't have to buy *** new one. You can refresh your old phone to make it run like it's brand new. Take out your phone with me right now. I'm gonna run through these steps with you. Step by step by step. So get your DVR rolling too. Record good. Just in case you miss it first. Clear out your storage. Too much data will make your phone run slower. So here's what I want you to do. Go to settings right here. Okay then click on general tap over here on iphone storage. Ok? And look at this. This is my phone. Most of my storage is used and it seems like text messages are what's taking most of it up? Probably because I send so many pictures and videos. Tiktok's two people takes up space so I can actually go through here and start deleting and freeing up space Next your Iphone is constantly refreshing apps in the background but they don't need to be refreshed at all times. Some of the apps, some you do some you don't, here's what I want you to do. Let's go back to settings. Okay. Back to settings. Hit general then I want you to tap this background app refresh and just toggle off the ones that you don't need right now and this last tip will blow your mind. It blew mine. I've said my phone to my friends. I'm like my phone just doesn't hold charge like it used to, There's *** reason for that come over here to settings. Okay then scroll down to battery, tap, battery health. My battery capacity. Look at this is only 76%. So basically when I'm fully charged it's really only at 76%. Okay. So no wonder it doesn't hold the charge. It even recommends that I take my phone in for service. And by the way, we checked *** new battery is *** lot cheaper than *** new phone. Cool tips. Next up, just last week, I told you the Department of Transportation is working on *** new dashboard that's going to help you find out what airlines ou if your flight gets canceled or delayed and now it's up the new dashboard lists each major carrier comparing their policies on different issues. For example, which airlines offer meals right? For delays of more than three hours, which ones offered to rebook you on the same or *** different airline at no additional cost if your flight is delayed. Now the dashboard focuses on controllable cancelations. So basically not the weather we're talking about stuff they're at fault for staffing shortages, stuff like that. You can find the link on the D. O. T. S. Aviation consumer protection website or at Rawson Reports dot com. So when the airline says we don't know you anything like yeah you do report said it right there finally renewing your passport about to get easier. The U. S. State Department started *** pilot program last month where you can sign up to renew it online. There are 25 5000 open slots. Those filled up in about 10 days. Now the agency says you know what we're gonna do it again, we're gonna take another 25,000 applications online this month before rolling out the program more widely next year. It's not clear how much time the online process will save or when it will open up again. But it's pretty cool. Speaking of somebody who had to go down there but you can look for updates right here right here on the State Department's Travel website and right here at rossen reports dot com that's all for today back to you
