If you’re already running out of battery, it’s best to just switch to a wallpaper that doesn’t have lock screen widgets.

Keep Keyboard Haptic Feedback Disabled
Amazingly, the iPhone keyboard never had the ability to vibrate when you type, an addition that was recently made in iOS 16 known as haptic feedback. Instead of just hearing click-clack sounds, haptic feedback gives each key a vibration, providing a more immersive experience when you type. However, according to Apple, the same feature can also affect battery life.
According to this Apple support page on the keyboard, haptic feedback “could affect your iPhone’s battery life.” No details are given on the battery life of the keyboard function, but if you want to save battery, it is better to disable this function.
Fortunately, it is not enabled by default. If you activated it yourself, go to Settings > Sounds and Haptics > Keyboard feedback and disable Haptics to disable haptic feedback from your keyboard.
Each time you type, you’ll feel a slight vibration for each key you press.
