If you still don’t get the battery life you need with
all of the above tweaks applied, you might consi-
der getting a third party battery pack to top your
phone up.
For iPhone, there are two main types:
• ones that are separate to the phone and
feed juice in only when you connect it to the
iPhone dock connector. The upside of these
is that you can use them to charge other
devices, such as your iPad or iPod.
• ones that are built in to protective cases and
wrap around the iPhone, constantly giving
it extra juice. You recharge the iPhone and
battery case together, at the same time,
using a charging cord that at?taches to the
battery case. The advantage of these is that
they effectively give you a permanent up-
grade to your iPhone battery life.
