Apple - Batteries - iPhone

Apple has 11 tips for increasing battery life on your iPhone.

  • Turn off 3G
  • Minimize use of location services
  • Fetch new data less frequently
  • Turn off push mail
  • Auto-check fewer email accounts
  • Minimize use of third-party applications
  • Turn off Wi-Fi
  • Turn off Bluetooth
  • Use Airplane Mode in low- or no-coverage areas
  • Adjust brightness
  • Turn off EQ

In a nutshell? Use it as an iPod. But not too often.

Sorta, push on the iPhone works very nicely, its the relationship between Macs/PCs and MobileMe that is more pull than push. My guess is that “proper” push will appear with a new version of mail.app, but maybe not till snow leopard and its exchange compatibility.
