David Pogue, ''New York Times'' tech columnist, passed on the following hints from an Apple store Genius on '''how to make an iPhone battery hold its charge for longer'''.

;1. "Push" email
Your phone may be checking your email accounts on a frequent schedule. Switch off this "Push" feature; set it to Manually instead (in Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars->Fetch New Data). After this, the phone will only check your email when you run the mail app.

;2. GPS checks
Look at Settings ->General->Location Services. This shows which apps on your phone are working out your location using GPS and triangulation. If you don't need them to do that, turn them off.

;3. Notifications

Next, try Settings -> Notifications to see which apps are allowed to display pop-up notifications. These use power to monitor what else is going on. If you don't need them either, turn them off too.

;4. Background apps
Yes, we all thought background apps are meant to be suspended to save power, but this Genius turned them off anyway. Double-press the Home button to open the multitasking app switcher. Hold your finger down on any icon until they all start wiggling. Tap the little [x] close boxes to manually quit open apps.

Result: the day after making the above changes, an iPhone 3GS battery was still at 80% by 5 p.m., compared to 5% the day before before.
