Extend your iPhone’s battery life
Tipb has posted a very interesting article that teaches you how to get the most out of your iPhone’s battery. If you find that your iPhone has been struggling to keep up with your daily life, you might want to take a look how you can reduce battery consumption before spending money on additional battery packs to increase its life. Here are the tips that were mentioned in the article:
– Set Auto-Lock to 1 minute
– Turn off any extra sounds, like keyboard clicks
– Turn off the iPod EQ
– Use headphones instead of the speaker if you have to listen to audio or music
– Turn down the screen brightness
– Turn off Bluetooth when not using it
– Turn off Wi-Fi when not using it
– Turn off 3G when not using it
– Turn off Location Services when not using them
– Turn off Push Notifications
– Set all email, calendar, and contacts accounts to “Fetch” (turn off Push)
– Double-click the Home Button to activate the multitasking dock, hold your finger on an app to enter “jiggly” mode, and kill any apps that might be running in the background, especially VoIP (like Skype), streaming audio (like Pandora), or navigation (like TomTom).
Sure, all these functions add to the usefulness of the iPhone, but if you’re having problems making it last, sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. Drop us any additional tips for saving battery life if you have any.

Well, we do know that The OnePlus iPhone 6S case can now be purchased for $19.99 a pop, and no, you do not need any kind of invite before you can snag one for yourself.

iPhone 6S Prepares For September 18th Release Date
If you are on the lookout for either the iPhone 6S or the iPhone 6S Plus, then here is news for you – chances are pretty high that you can pick up either one, or perhaps even both if you are feeling fat in the pocket, this coming September 18th. First of all, there was a leaked internal memo from Vodafone alongside Japanese site ITHome and German tech experts Macerkopf claiming that the new iPhones 6S models will roll out this coming September 18th in their respective countries
With Japan, Germany and the UK being tier one Apple launch countries, this means that those living in the mentioned countries will receive the iPhones at the same time as folks living over in the US – traditionally speaking, of course. There really isn’t that much time left to wait, as it is less than a month away, and I am quite sure that the time will pass by sooner than you think.

iPad Air 3 Not Coming This Year According To Rumors
It looks like the folks over at Digitimes have come up with their own interpretation of things to come – that there will be no iPad Air 3 released, at least for this year. Digitimes has had their fair share of hits and misses in the past, so it would be best to take this rumor concerning the non-release of the iPad Air 3 in 2015 with a pinch of salt.
Digitimes also laid claim that the iPad mini 4 will not be as supercharged as some of the rumors that had been going around, as it will bring with it only small and incremental upgrades when compared to its predecessor, the iPad mini 3. This does not seem to bode well for fans of the compact tablet, taking into consideration how the iPad mini 3 itself was improved over its predecessor with a new Touch ID fingerprint reader.
Since Apple tends to roll out a new iPad in October, we will just have to sit tight and see whether this particular rumor has enough “legs” to run.
