It is annoying to every cellphone user when the cell phone battery flat out. For cell phone as powerful as the iPhone, the battery drain even faster when it is stretch to the max.

Try listening to your favorite song, checking your email and text messaging several friends all at once and see how fast the battery goes flat.

On the Apple website, the battery life expectations are quite clearly explained. The that information is applicable if you are running one application at a time. iPhone users love to multitask, which is a bane to the battery.

However, there 2 ways can make your iPhone’s battery life even longer.

1. Turn off the Bluetooth feature if you are not using it.

Very little people understand that when you keep your Bluetooth turned on, you are draining your battery power even if you are not using it.

This is because the iPhone is constantly searching for other Bluetooth devices, which require power to work. If you do not want to connect to a Bluetooth device, than make sure that your Bluetooth is turned off. This is also good practice from a security standpoint.

2. Always lock your iPhone when you are done using it.

When you are finished talking on the phone with your best friend, checking your e-mail or sending a text message, make sure that you activate the lock button. Many people wait for the screen to shut down by itself after they are using it. While this may seem like a great idea, you are wasting battery life by doing so.

Set your phone to auto-lock. This ensures your phone will lock itself just in case you forget to.

There are many iPhone owners that set their auto lock for five minutes after use. However, if you multiply this five minutes of power usage by ten times per day, your battery will go flat faster than you expect.  You should set your auto lock for one minute (1) after you have completed using your phone. This will ensure that the iPhone screen will not stay lit when it is not being used.

Note that it is not advisable to do your own repair if your iPhone warranty is still valid.

One of the concerns that new iPhone owners have is whether their new toy can use the accessories meant for the iPod family? Fortunately, the answer is yes.

All of the iPhone’s are compatible with most of the iPod accessories, thus making your iPhone even more convenient and user friendly. You can still connect your iPhone to the speaker system your iPod used to connect with. In fact, the iPhone has the same connectivity port as the iPod, thus it will connect seamlessly to any iPod speaker systems as well as car docks. This is definitely good news for people who own both the iPhone and iPod products.

Of course, there are some accessories that have been altered to better fit the iPhone. An example is the headset. Yes, you can use standard headphones with the iPhone. However, if a call comes through, then you may experience slight inconvenience taking the headphones out and answering the phone.

This is why Apple has made a set of headphones that are designed to work seamlessly with the iPhone. These amazing headphones provide you with excellent sound quality, yet they also have a microphone built into the cord. Thus when you receive a phone call, your song is paused and you are able to answer the phone. You can also end the call by clicking a small button on the microphone. Another great feature about these headphones is the fact that you are able to hear your friends through more than one ear, which is a very unique and interesting, experience.

Here is an example of an iPhone headset:

For safety reason, you should always use a headset if you need to talk on your iPhone (or any mobile phone) while driving. While it is advised that you refrain from driving while talking on your phone, this can be a challenge for busy working professionals and those with a booming social life. Thus, a headset will allow you keep both your hands on the steering wheel while your conversations stay uninterrupted. And you also have the freedom to move your head back and forth to view all traffic around you.

For the ultimate conveience, you can choose to use a wireless bluetooth=enabled headset. No wire to mess around. In fact, you can walk away from from your iPhone and still continue your conversation without problem, as long as you stay within the ten meters radius limit.
