Try some of these options too.

- Put Auto Answer Off
- Disable Push notifications for apps you do not use often

- Enable Auto Brightness:- Settings > General > Accessibility > Display Accommodations > Auto-Brightness [Enable]
- Manually lower brightness from Control Center
- If you Want to watch continuous Video. Stream it on TV or a Monitor
- Don't force close apps; Apps which are not on frontend screen are paused by the system to save energy. Apps require more energy to re-launch. Apps which are open in the background use large memory is a myth and quitting them is counterproductive
- Location services to be allowed only while using the app
- Set your iPhone to fetch email and calendar data from internet less frequently
- Turning off Background App Refresh
- Charge before it drops below 20-30%
- Try connecting to trusted Wifi where ever available in stead of Cellular
- Enable Airplane mode in areas with bad cellular and wifi coverage. Your phone keeps trying for reconnection with the missing / weak network. This uses lot of energy
- Switch off Wifi & Bluetooth while in Roaming or Not in Range
