Keep your iPhone from dying

Edited by Jerry Rivers, Charmed, Eng

The iPhone is still very popular for all its convenience, ergonomics and applications. It was the pioneer in touch screen technology and smartphone operating systems with its iOS, and set the standard for all other smartphones. The iPhone design is comfortably slim and lightweight, with the latest iPhone5S even slimmer. This iPhone boasts even better features with a revamped control center for convenient access to menu settings, and new Siri voices. Reportedly, the latest iPhone will be only a tad heavier for a good reason. It will have a bigger battery, with a touted longer life. Unless it is a drastic improvement, the iPhone will still have relatively short life compared to other smartphones today. So, what can you do about this for your iPhone? Here are several tips to give your iPhone added life.

    This is a trim, lightweight attachment that adds little to the weight (2.44 oz) of your iPhone, and will double its life before next recharging. IT and mobile market have variant types and brands of those, For example, I personally like the Mophie Juice Pack series which offers five different battery packs. There is one that is right for your iPhone, with prices ranging from $80 to $150. The $80 model is the the Mophie Juice Pack Air®, and the $150 is the Mophie Juice Pack Pro®: *Mophie Juice Pack Air®: With its exclusive external 1500mAh battery this is a battery pack ideal if you are always on the move. It features an attractive two-tone protective metallic case for your iPhone. *Mophie Juice Pack Pro® Outdoor: With its outdoor app, this model instantly turns your iPhone into a GPS device. It has a durable battery case. So,if you are a traveler or explorer, this battery pack is for your iPhone.
