iPhone Battery - Product Review

iPhone-Battery Product-Review Hey everybody. It’s Jason here from McInTec community and today I’m going to do a podcast about the iPhone battery life. I got a couple of comments on my first week with iPhone YouTube video and one person in particular was asking about battery life. How people are talking about talk time and Wi-Fi usage and stuff but basically the person you want to know about the usage with being on the 3G service, watching videos and stuff.\ Now I used my iPhone all day. It’s on whether I am taking email, whether I’m talking on the phone, whether I’m surfing the net. One thing that does most of the day is it plays music. I have it going from like 8:00 in the morning until 6:00 at night, constant music playing because I go all over the place and stuff and I like to have some tunes going while I’m doing stuff. It makes it better to work with. With that regards to battery life it uses maybe a bit say a quarter. If you’re just playing straight music with it all day and you’re not really always turning on the screen and see what music you have, what song will play next usually I just have a play list and that play and I’ll use the iPhone headphones and click the play, click the stop, double click on the button to go ahead in another song. The iPhone’s battery is really, really good. It lasts at about—when I get home basically it may have half a bar left. So 50% left to battery power on the iPhone. It actually doesn’t use that much like every hour I’ve been listening to music and then get text message coming in or the tone will off and they have a new email and stuff and I’ll check my email and type in stuff out and all that. Just general daily use for checking your emails and stuff that comes in, listening to music maybe watching some YouTube videos. Basically, it should go for about 8 to 12 hours. With regards if you’re constantly watching YouTube videos, it will use your 3G service now if you’re on 3G a lot like the entire day, you might get maybe four hours usage out of it and same would go probably more on Wi-Fi but I usually mostly watch YouTube videos on my iPhone when I’m not at home. So when there is no wire surrounds this 3G service, playing games all day that also would affect the battery power. If your screens basically constantly on all day that’s when you going to start using more power and over battery power in that case and that’s when it’s going to drain it more because the screen needs power to run but if you just listen to music all day or what-not there should be no trouble having it going all day like mine will be going all day. I might stop once or twice to do some stuff but other than that it’s constantly music. Music is always going. Another thing that is what you can do too is try lowering the brightness on it. If you go into the settings mode and under settings they’ll be right underneath the wallpaper like you have. You got your sound, brightness, wallpaper right under that. You get into here right there which says general. You have sound brightness on wallpaper, click on the brightness right underneath sounds and then try to lower in your screen. So you can bring it to its lowest setting, to its brightest setting and then I use an auto brightness, I keep that on. What I do for my settings is I leave the brightness in the middle. Now if I’m going to be using the iPhone a lot like maybe 10 or all day and keeping the phone unlock so it keeps a connection, I’ll keep on it’s lowest setting or maybe at the setting where I can actually glance and look at it. That will preserve some battery power. But overall the battery power for an average days used I would say for the average iPhone user, I don’t think every like the average iPhone user really uses it as the iPod function all day. So I’d save it might last longer. In my case it pretty much lasts me the whole day I come home and I can plug in and charge it. There still already charge on it maybe 50% going but when I start getting into watching a lot of YouTube videos and stuff all day or my friends use it there’s been a couple of times where it’s coming out. You have 10% battery power left and stuff so then I kind of just let it sit there because I don’t want to miss any calls. So, hopefully that answers the question about general battery usage. So it’s a pretty good phone totally worth it on that. Battery usage like it’s good for what it can do. Now, when you’re getting to using GPS 2 that will also drain the battery, if you’re using the GPS driving and stuff and it moves this up. So what we going to do if you want to let’s say consume in much power and maybe turn off 3G, go to Edge. It does save you some power, turn on the brightness as I said and basically that’s the best you can do to get more battery power out of it other than that. So that’s basically I had to say about the battery usage and hopefully it does answer some of your questions if you’re asking about general all-day use.
