How To Extend Your IPhone Battery Life

If there is anything that annoys more cell phone users, it is loosing battery power while you are on the phone. This has happened to nearly everybody, and at least once it caught you by complete surprise.

When you are running a cell phone as powerful as the iPhone, it is easy to understand why the battery power begins to drain. You might be listening to your favorite song, checking your email and text messaging several friends all at the same time... And this can require a lot of the cell phone's power. Because of the ease and versatility of the Apple iPhone, you are probably draining drain your cell phone of battery life quicker than you thought.

Even though, on the Apple website, they clearly explain the battery life expectations, the information Apple display is based on running one application at a time. However, if iPhone users are known for anything, it is for their ability to multitask. The price of our talent at multitasking, means a shorter battery life.

However, there are several things that you can do to make your iPhone's battery life last longer. While the iPhone is actually pretty good at not draining its battery extremely quickly, there is always room learning for ways to prolong battery performance. If you follow these tips, than you will have an iPhone that lasts you longer - allowing you to finish your game and answer the phone.

Perhaps the best tip that anyone with an iPhone can follow, is to simply turn off your Bluetooth if you are not using it. You may not have ralized that when you keep your Bluetooth turned on, deven though you are not using it, you are draining your battery.

The technicalo reason for this is a simple one. There is a set amount of power that is controlled by the Bluetooth section of your iPhone, and that power is used, draining the battery, because the phone is constantly searching for other Bluetooth devices. If you are not pairing with a Bluetooth device, than make sure that your Bluetooth is turned off.

Another tip to ensure the battery life on your iPhone lasts longer, is to always lock your iPhone when you are done using it. When you are finished talking on the phone with your best friend, checking your e-mail or sending a text message, activate the lock button. Many people wait for the screen to shut down by itself, after they are using it. This may seem like a great idea, but you are wasting battery life by doing so. Also, make sure that you set your auto-lock, because this is a great way to instruct your phone to lock itself, in case you forget to.

There are many iPhone owners that set their auto lock for five minutes after use. But I think you should cut some minutes off that instruction. If you multiply those five minutes of power usage by ten times per day, your battery is being used upunneccesarily. My suggestion is that you set your auto lock for one minute (1), after you have completed using your phone. This will ensure that the iPhone screen will not stay lit when it is not being used. This hassle-free way to save battery life, is just another reason why the iPhone is so easy to love.
