Apple's iPhone Battery Advice
Merlin Mann | Jul 23 2008
Apple has 11 tips for increasing battery life on your iPhone.
In a nutshell? Use it as an iPod. But not too often. NB: there’s appears to still be an instance of “Push” in there. Was the decision to pull that term just for the non-email stuff? 6 Comments

All of those make sense and should be reasonable to most. Apple doesn't want to get beat up too much for battery life, and the App Store works completely against them. I am certain there are lots who downloaded half the App Store and are playing on them at any given moment. In time, I imagine folks will dial this back and realize the capabilities of the phone bring it more in line with those of a laptop instead of the phones to which we are accustomed. How do you extend battery life on a laptop? -- Turn down brightness -- Turn off Wifi -- Don't leave DVD's spinning while watching movies (if possible) -- Don't expect to finish that last Folding@Home unit while finishing your presentation on the flight to New York. Same stuff applies here, hopefully they don't take too much bad press in the coming weeks when battery life drops to 3 hours for some people. » POSTED IN:
