How to Maximize the battery life of your Apple iPhone

Your iPhone may be great, but like any other mobile device, it might be wasting more battery power than it needs to. If you want to learn how to conserve your battery life, there's plenty of precautions you can perform. So what all can you do? Best Buy has answers. The Best Buy Mobile team explains how simple it is to maximize the battery life of your Apple iPhone. You can put it in standby mode, reduce screen brightness, and turn off Location Services when you're not using them.

Moses Blue: "Hi, my name is Moses Blue. I am from the Best Buy Mobile store in Charlotte, North Carolina. What I'm going to show you is how to save battery life on your iPhone. If you look at the very top right hand corner of your iPhone, there's a little button right here, which allows you to bring your iPhone up; or you can bring it down. What that does is it brings it out of standby mode. So when you bring it out of standby mode, if you just press it one time its going to give a little click, when I hit it again, it cuts it down but it doesn't cut it completely off. That's the easiest way to save on your battery life when you're not using it; but if you hold it down too long, it will cut the phone off. So, I'm going to cut it on again. The second thing I'm going to show you is when you cut on the phone this way, you see your menu is up. If you go to your Setting option, here, and then you go to your Brightness, click on that, you're going to see a bar at the very top corner of your iPhone. When you move the bar to your left, it turns the screen dim. When turn it to the right, it increases your brightness. My recommendation is to keep it towards the middle, and that way you're not using your battery life as much […] also […] when you go into your Settings option, when you go to General [there's] Location Services. On those Location Services, you can cut Location Services on or off."
