Guy Kawasaki offers tips for extending iPhone 3G battery life

Aside from the occasionally weak 3G signal reception and the occurrence of crashing apps, you’re probably also experiencing a shortage of battery life on your new iPhone 3G. Maybe you’re not doing all that you can to extend your iPhone’s battery life. As such, Guy Kawasaki offers a few tips to help you out.

Granted, he mentions a couple of time-tested tips that are no doubt taken for granted by most users, such as lowering the brightness settings to the dimmest, but he also adds in a few tips of his own that should all but make your iPhone drain its battery more quickly.

A few of his pointers include turning off the 3G network connectivity completely, as well as keeping Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and other data connection services off. You might already have a few workarounds of your own, but Guy gets approximately thirty-six hours of standby time on his iPhone, so his tips are worth checking out.

Apple offers \"commonsense pointers\" for extending iPhone 3G battery life

In the iPhone 3G, there’s an option to turn off access to 3G networks. You can also control when new e-mails get “pushed” to your device, among other settings.

Apple is reminding users to turn off certain features whenever possible, but most of their advice are really obvious stuff, which most people will probably take as Apple’s compromise for not being able to include a powerful battery in the iPhone 3G.
