1. Avoiding the Extremes: If you want to enhance your iPhone battery lifespan remember to avoid temperature extremes. Avoid using your iPhone at temperatures higher than 95° F (or 35° C) and in very cold environments. Using the iPhone in very hot conditions can inflict permanent battery damage whereas cold temp usage causes temporary battery performance degradation.
             
2. Regular Updates: Keep your iPhone software constantly updated to ensure your phone has the latest battery performance maximisation technology.
            
3. Optimise the Settings: Some apps are battery draining like viewing videos, gaming, email and so on. Just remember the following battery tips to maximise its life.
                
• Minimize use of Location Services by using it only when needed or disabling the location services option.
• Set your Fetch New Data options to hourly or fetch data manually. Frequent use of mail client only drains the battery faster.
• Disable your Push Mail client when not needed to avoid receiving mail as they arrive.
            
4. Limit Third-party Application Usage: 3 rd party apps like games prevent auto power saving options like screen dimming or switching off hence the battery is constantly at peak performance.
            
5. Turn off Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and 3G: When not in use switch off these apps to conserve battery. Also note using Wi-Fi to access the net instead of the cellular network service requires less power.
