Tips to conserve iphone/ ipad battery life

Good battery life is essential for a mobile device to
succeed in the post-pc era, and apple's iOS devices
continue to pack upgraded internals and improved
battery technology into every product iteration.
Enterprises, government and business owners love
the iPhone and ipad because of its back-end
management and security features but one thing that
can hinder you is it's battery life. To get the most time
out of your iPhone/iPad battery, you have to manage
it and its enabled services and features on your device
to make sure you get the most life out of your battery
especially when you have emergencies where you
need to sacrifi ce some features to use the device a
little longer.
Here are seven tips to stay fi rmly in charge of your
battery:

1. Place your device in airplane mode when
you don't need to communicate
In situations when you are not using your iPhone to
make or receive calls, and connect to the Internet,
place your device into airplane mode. This can be
done in areas where no wireless signal is available
or when boarding an airplane that is not equipped
with wi-fi as your iOS device will expend a lot of
power continuously looking for a wireless signal.

2. Turn off bluetooth and wi-fi
If you have no bluetooth devices (such as a headset or
wireless speakers) connected to your iPhone or iPad,
turn off the bluetooth feature. To do this, launch
Settings, tap the bluetooth option, and then turn the
virtual switch for the bluetooth option to the off
position. If you have a bluetooth device paired with
your device that you know you won't be using for a
while, turn off bluetooth on your phone or tablet to
conserve battery life.

3. Don't rely too heavily on the Internet
Connecting your iPhone or iPad to the Internet
requires a lot of power, particularly when using a
cellular data connection. To extend your device's
battery life, refrain from surfi ng the internet too
much, using Safari or continuously checking your
email account(s) with the mail app. If possible,
connect to the Internet using wi-fi .

4. Turn off the vibrate feature
The iPhone's vibrate feature that activates for
incoming calls, text messages, and notifi cations,
should be turned off to conserve battery life.

5. Don't use the built-in speakers
Using the iPhone or iPad's built-in speakers to play
audio uses more battery power than plugging corded
headphones into the device. Likewise, on the iPhone,
avoid using the speakerphone option when engaged
in a phone call.

6. Reduce your reliance on the maps, weather,
and stocks apps
The maps, weather, and stocks apps are examples of
apps that heavily use the Internet in order to
function. Since excessive Internet usage drains
battery life faster, shutting down these apps when
conserving battery power is important.

7. Keep your conversations short
On the iPhone, keep your phone conversations short
since talking on the phone is one of the quickest
ways to deplete battery life. If you are using Skype on
your iOS mobile device, it will drain the battery faster
because heavy Internet usage is required.
In summary, for many people on the go, fi nding
someplace to plug in your iPhone or iPad to charge it
can be a challenge. Having a mobile power bank is
just the smartest way to keep your battery back to life
at any point in time. Also having your charger cords
at home, offi ces and in the car is another smart way
to charge your phone incase your battery runs low or
dies. Conserving your iPad / IPhone batteries is key
for you to always stay intouch and be productive in
your businesses anywhere you are without losing
track of your customers.
