Apple Posts Battery Tips For iPhone And iPod Touch
Battery life span is a sensitive issue for iPhone and iPod Touch users. We covered this subject in past articles, including our tips – which are as relevant today as they were a year ago, when we wrote them – and Steve Wozniak’s solution to solve the poor battery life problem.
Today, Apple posted two pages — one dedicated to the iPod and one to the iPhone — to help users get the most from their battery. Because of its different features, the iPhone has its own set of tips that include minimizing use of location services; turning off push notifications; auto-check fewer email accounts; use Airplane Mode in low- or no-coverage areas; adjust brightness; and turning off 3G.
Basically, if you read and apply our tips you are good to go, but it is always nice to see that after 3 years full of complaints, Apple posts some official tips.

what a waste of time. They expect you to turn everything off. Might as well not turn it on at all and put it back in its box – that will save battery life!

Seriously? Turn everything off? Yeah that will work. Then it won’t be the hottest phone on the market anymore lol. I can’t believe rechargeable battery tech hasn’t advanced further yet to keep up with this cool phone tech. Maybe these new processors that consume less power will help battery life. Right now all phones suck in that department. I don’t know how the Nexus One is doing. From what I read it has one of those low power use processors. I hope Apple is taking all this into consideration THIS go round…
