iPhone 4S Battery Sucks? Try This Philips App

Tweet

Apple has yet to release a real solution to the iPhone 4S battery problem. A lot of suggested fixes have floated around, but none has work universally for every single device out there. Unfortunately, what Philips brings you isn’t a cure-all either, but it does help you manage your battery life better until Apple rolls out a proper fix.

The BatterySense app by Philips is an app that shows you a comprehensive view of your battery life. It works by showing you just how much time you’ll have left depending on what activity you choose. For example, if you want to watch videos but don’t know how long your battery can last you, choose video playback from the list, and the app will show you how much time you can watch videos.

If the app shows an hour but you need two hours to finish a movie, simply move up the time slider to two hours, and the app will show you how to adjust your other settings so you can stream videos for two hours. Interesting, isn’t it? Philip’s app is now available for free on the Apple App Store.
