The reviews of the Apple iPhone, from the initial launch of the first generation in the summer of 2007, have been on the whole universally positive. The Apple iOS, the build quality, the ease of use and the style factor created by the Apple marketing department have propelled the iPhone to almost God like status in the smart phone market.
There has however always been one major issue that has always blighted every generation of the iPhone, and that is battery life. The fact that you can do some many things with an iPhone has meant that users do exactly that, use it to do many things. Many of those things however are battery hogs.
Playing a game on an iPhone sucks battery just to run the graphics and if you combine this with the fact that many of the games available on iOS also connect you to the Game Centre and in many cases the game companies servers, you have a recipe for disaster as far as battery life in concerned.
Heavy users of the iPhone 5 are always checking the status of the battery in their beloved companion, rationing the battery usage to get through the day. It is one thing that such people wish that they could stop worrying about.
In a quest to satisfy iPhone 5 owners thirst for battery, Duracell have introduced the SnapBattery and the Powermat. These are two clever devices by the famous battery company aimed at increasing battery life on the move and to make home charging easier.
The SnapBattery consists of an iPhone 5 ‘Access Case’ to which you can attach batteries to double the battery life of the phone. The Powermat is a charging Hub that supports other Duracell devices. The Powermat has a smart system that knows how much power to send to the SnapBattery and also knows when it is fully charged and stops the power accordingly.
