If you have an iPhone, there is a good chance it is one of your favorite little gizmos, but there is nothing more frustrating than a gizmo whose battery doesn’t last. And while some iPhone owners feel that the battery in their phone works just fine, others feel that their battery does not work well at all! And so, the question that must be explored is this: Why do some people get good life out of their iPhone battery, while others do not?

Firstly, you must keep in mind the fact that – of course – the efficiency of a battery of any kind will depend largely upon usage. If you use the phone a lot throughout the day, your battery will last less time than it will if you only pick the phone up every so often. Even if you use the phone all the time, however, there are some things you can do to optimize battery life.

Lowering the brightness of your screen is the biggest thing you can do to optimize the battery life of your iPhone. A bright screen will drain your battery more quickly than anything else, so you should try to keep your screen as dim as you can. And even though it might seem like a nuisance at first – to keep your screen really dim – you will actually find that you get used to it very quickly.

Your battery life also varies depending on more than just usage, but on the way you use your phone as well! When you access the internet using 3G, you are actually using a lot more battery than you do when you access the internet using a wireless network. Anytime you can access the internet using wireless, do so, and it will stretch out the life of your battery much longer than you would otherwise experience.

And one of the biggest things people fail to do – as easy as it is to do – is to turn off the screen when the phone is not in use!
