7 Simple Steps to Conserve iPhone Battery Power

I learned the hard way that the iPhone's battery won't last long if you are careless with your settings. Use these steps to maximize the time between charges.

  1. Setup a Gmail account as a proxy for your other mail accounts so your phone will only have to check one place for all your mail.
  2. Set the Mail application to check for mail less often. Do you really need to check your email every 15 minutes?
  3. Turn off "Ask to join networks" in your WiFi settings.
  4. Set the brightness to a lower level or turn on Auto-Brightness.
  5. Turn off Bluetooth when not in use.
  6. Set a short auto-lock time.
  7. Turn off keyboard sounds.
  8. Bonus step - Stop watching so much YouTube! :)
