Optimize your iPhone or iPod Touch for Maximum Battery Life
Posted at 04:48, 06/07/2008 by LoriDeschene

Whether you’re running or relaxing, you want your iPod to go the distance. Follow these tips from touchtip.com to increase your iPod or iPhone battery life (more on the site):

Adjust brightness

Dimming your phone’s screen is another way to extend battery life. Go to Settings > Brightness and drag the slider to the left to lower the default screen brightness. Turning the Auto-Brightness allows your phone screen to adjust its brightness based on current lighting conditions. Go to Settings > Brightness and set Auto-Brightness to On.

Turn off Wi-Fi

If you rarely use Wi-Fi, you can turn it off to save power. Go to Settings > Wi-Fi and set Wi-Fi to off. If you frequently use your iPhone to browse the web, battery life may be improved using Wi-Fi instead of EDGE.

Turn off Bluetooth

If you rarely use a Bluetooth headset or car kit, you can turn off Bluetooth to save power. Go to Settings > General > Bluetooth and set Bluetooth to Off.
