iPhone battery tips - Number 1

Tip 1 Turn off wifi when not used Some of us may be wondering, how does this help? When wifi is turned on, the iPhone actively searches out wifi networks regardless the iPhone's status or users' activities. Although the iPhone may or may not prompt the user to join a network, battery juice is still drained in the process of searching. Hence, to conserve energy, it will be a good idea only to turn on wifi when you need it and turn off the function once you are done using.
