Apple's Tips for Extending iPhone Battery Life

by Terrence O'Brien on July 25, 2007 at 02:01 PM


Apple is taking note of one of the bigest complaints about the iPhone -- namely, the sometimes less-than-impressive battery life. The company isn't ditching the overpriced $85 battery replacement program, but it has posted a series of hints about how to get more time out of your iPhone before having to plug-in and recharge again.

The list is pretty obvous: If you've ever owned a piece of technology before or even bought a pack of batteries you've probably heard that you need to keep the iPhone out of extreme heat and sun, or turn off the Wi-Fi. But obvious or otherwise, tips are tips and they will help you get a little more daily life out of your iPhone battery. You can also check out our list on video as we came up with a few of the tips ourselves -- three weeks ago.

Check out the Apple site for the rest of the somewhat obvious list of battery saving techniques, like locking your phone. Thanks guys... we hadn't thought of that.

Do you think these battery-saving tips are obvious? Got any others?
