Maximise your iPhone battery life

One of the most common complaints about smartphones is that their battery life is drastically reduced when using the phone’s most attractive features – the internet, video, etc.

It’s something you’ll have to get used to, which is why you should take a few tips on how to preserve battery life:

• Reduce the screen brightness. You can get by if you reduce the brightness and you won’t be hurting your eyes.
• Keep the iPhone out of the sun, especially in cars. Heating the gadget up unnecessarily will drain it severely.
• Turn on the auto-lock to the shortest amount of time.
• Use airplane mode when you aren’t using the internet.
• Use Wi-Fi as much as possible instead of connecting to 3G networks.
• Reduce Push notifications if you aren’t using them.
• Disable location services

Download your email manually, rather than having the iPhone automatically grab new downloads every 15 minutes. This can be changed in the Settings folder.
