Make your iPhone battery last longer

Like anything if you use it more it will take more energy. That’s the only ‘battery issue’ with any of the Apple stuff – it keeps coming up.. iPods, iPhones.. we use them too much.

If you really want to save power:
* Turn down the brightness.
* Set push notifications to manual.
* Turn off Bluetooth (I have never used this anyway)
* Turn off wifi (when not at home).
* Turn off location/gps.
* Turn off 3G.

Basically turn off the screen and turn off all the bloody radios. That has a huge impact on battery life.

Just make it have the same features as any ‘crap phone’ and it will last forever.
