If there is anything that annoys iPhone users is the battery life.  When you are operating a cell phone as powerful as the iPhone checking your email and text messaging several friends at once,  requires a lot of the phones’ power.  Therefore, you will begin to drain your cell phone of battery life quicker than you thought.

Despite the issues with the battery life there are  several things that you can do to make your iPhone’s battery life even longer.  If you follow these tips, than you will have an iPhone that lasts you longer than you thought possible.  Perhaps the best tip that anyone with an iPhone can follow is to simply turn off your Bluetooth if you are not using it.  Very little people understand that when you keep your Bluetooth turned on, when you are not using it, you are draining your battery.

This is because there is a set amount of power that is controlled by the Bluetooth section of your iPhone, and the power is draining because the phone is constantly searching for other Bluetooth devices.  If you do not want to pair with a Bluetooth device, than make sure that your Bluetooth is turned off.

Another peice of advice to making your iPhone battery life last longer is to always lock your iPhone when you are done using it.  When you are finished talking, texting or emailing, make sure that you activate the lock button.  Many people wait for the screen to shut down by itself after they are using it, while this  may seem like a great idea, you are wasting battery life by doing so.  Also, make sure that you set your auto-lock because this is a great way to ensure your phone will lock itself just in case you forget to.  There are many iPhone owners that set their auto lock for five minutes after use.

But, if you multiply this five minutes of power usage by ten times per day, your battery will not last you as long as you might think.  This is why it is always suggested that you set your auto lock for one minute (1) after you have completed using your phone.  This will ensure that the iPhone screen will not stay lit when it is not being used.  If you want to have a hassle-free way to save battery life, than this is defintely the way to do it.
