The Apple website does give some explanation about what to expect from your battery. Their advice is to use one application at a time. But, how can this be possible?... When most iPhone users like to multi-task? Will the iPhone users just have to accept the thought that multitasking means shorter battery life?
Apple iPhone allows you to listen to your favorite music, check your email real-time, surf the web and even watch your own videos at your fingertips. But if you failed to manage its usage, you'll be surprised how your iPhone runs out of battery quickly.
I've learned though that there are several ways on how to deal with this challenge. Here are some of the tips on how to extend your iPhone battery life, making it last throughout the day.
Turn off Bluetooth. When you're not on a call, it is best to turn the Bluetooth off. Bluetooth checks for a Bluetooth device on a regular basis. This "checking" reduces your battery power without you realizing it. If your iPhone constantly searches for other Bluetooth devices to connect with, more power will be consumed. So if you're not looking to pair with a Bluetooth device, it's really best to turn it off.
Lock your iPhone. Another best yet simple thing to do is to lock your iPhone. Once you've finished using your iPhone, such as checking your email or sending a text message, make sure to lock your iPhone. Many people just put their iPhone in their pockets and wait for the iPhone to turn off by itself. This also uses a lot of your iPhone's battery because the screen has not turned completely off. If you really can't make "locking your iPhone," a habit... a very smart thing to do is to set to set an autolock. The iPhone's autolock is good at shutting off the screen. This setting is under Settings -> General -> Autolock.
Turning down the LCD's brightness, turning off vibrate if this option is not necessary, using programs with 3D less often, setting push email to off or setting it's fetch time, and charging your iPhone in a car while driving... are some of the tricks that you can do to extend your iPhone's battery life.
Also, with the advent of the Apple iPhone 3G, the new 3G network requires a lot more power than the old Edge network. So, you can save battery life, simply by using the Edge network, rather than the 3G network. This is especially true if you are not currently surfing the Internet. There is no need for fast speeds when simply making a phone call or checking email.
I really don't believe that there are many PDA phones in the market that have a long lasting battery. Especially if you don't know how to manage its usage. If you are using a phone as powerful as the Apple iPhone... you, definitely can find yourself out of juice. But following the tips above will surely extend your iPhone's battery life, making it last throughout the day!
