On my 13 mini, I just set a shortcut to turn on power save mode when power save mode is turned off.
I also set a geofence around the cell dead spot at my house to enable airplane mode.
The latter spams notifications due to an (anti-stalking?) “feature” of shortcuts that doesn’t let you disable geofence notifications.
That bug can then be fixed by exploiting another bug by enabling screen time, the creating a custom app shortcut that produces a notification. Run the custom app a bunch and screen time will decide it is spam, and force-enable the “disable notifications” toggle for the shortcuts app. (Apparently this doesn’t work on some of the newer/higher end iPhones. My guess is they copy pasted the policy logic for each model, and forgot to backport a bugfix).
The above greatly increased battery life and did so transparently.
Now, all I need to do is buy a smart plug and have it toggle the power on a low-speed charger when the iPhone battery is above 80% or below 60%.
After that, I’ll do the same for my watch and iPad.

Couldn’t be simpler.
