How to save your iPhone battery life

Tips on how to get the most out of your iPhone battery

The Apple iPhone is a fantastic smartphone and is regarded as one of the best devices to use. However, the biggest criticism people have about it, is that the battery life is quite poor. As many iPhone users are constantly using their devices, the power begins to drain and the next time you look at the battery percentage, it’s on its last legs.

Below are 4 tips on how to save your iPhone battery power:

1. Close Unnecessary Apps – With the iPhone now capable of multi-tasking, when you open an application, it remains open in the backgroud. This reduces your battery life significantly. To close these unused apps:

• Firstly double tap the home button and you will see the apps you have most recently used pop up

• Then, hold down on any one of these apps until they begin to wiggle

• Tap the red close icon on all of the apps that are open and they should disappear

This will close all of your open applications that were running in the background and this should significantly improve your iPhone battery life.

2. Reduce watching many videos – Constantly watching videos on YouTube or other video sharing apps significantly reduces your battery life. The video along with the sound exerts a lot of power out of your battery, leaving you will very little power left to make an urgent phone call.

• Also make sure the ‘Auto-Brightness’ is on – This will automatically reduce the brightness in well lit areas

How to Sync your iPhone to your PC or Mac

Step-by-step guide to syncing your iPhone to your PC or Mac

Have you always wanted to get your favourite movie, or favourite album from your computer onto your iPhone? 

Here is my step-by-step guide on how to sync your iPhone to your PC or Mac:

1. First open iTunes on your computer. If you’re using a PC you can access iTunes by cicking on the Start menu in the bottom left corner then selecting All Programs (iTunes should be located within here). If you are using a Mac, it should be located at the bottom of your screen.

2. Once opened, connect your iPhone to your computer using the USB cable that was in the box.

3. Once your iPhone is connected, on the left hand side of the screen you will see your iPhone name appear. This is normally called [Your First Name]’s iPhone.

4. Click on your iPhone and you will see a series of tabs on the top of the window. First of all you will see the ‘Summary’ of your iPhone, showing you the current memory available, the software version and other information about your iPhone. Also along the top you will see other media tabs such as Apps, Music, Movies and others.

5. Click on each individual tab and choose what media you want to transfer over to your iPhone. The items you tick will transfer over to your iPhone.

6. When you have finished selecting the media you want to transfer over, click on the ‘Sync’ button in the bottom right of your screen.

7. Your iPhone will display the message ‘Sync in Progress’ and the synchronisation is in progress. First, your iPhone will be backed up to iTunes and then the synchronisation of your media will take place. Bear in mind that this could take some time especially if you are transferring over lots of Movies or Apps.

8. The sync is complete when at the top of the iTunes window, the message ‘Sync is complete: Ok to disconnect’ appears. Only when this message appears, you can disconnect the iPhone from your computer. When you next use your iPhone, you will see all the media you wanted to sync, available and ready to use on your iPhone. And your done!

Xbox Kinect outsold iPhones and iPads

World record set for fastest selling device

Microsoft’s Xbox Kinect has become the fastest selling consumer electronics device in history. The Kinect sensor has in-built cameras and microphones to recognise the person playing the game, and makes gaming much more personal. Confirmed by Guinness World Records, the games console device broke a new record, by selling an average of 133,333 devices per day from November 2010 to January 2011. This outsold both the iPhone and iPad in the same time-frame from when each were respectively launched.

This shows what a great revolution of gaming the Kinect sensor has created. Before its launch, I was skeptical to see how responsiveness the sensor was, but I was very impressed having used it many times. I feel this is the future of gaming, and I can predict that we will see many more camera-sensors entering the market for Microsoft’s competitors in the near future. Sony brought out the PlayStation Move, but I feel the rumoured Nintendo Wii 2, will incorporate a similar type of technology to the Kinect.
