Changing these 6 settings on my iPad greatly extended its battery life by hours


By tweaking these settings, you'll quickly find yourself with a tablet that lasts longer than usual.

That's the main reason I prefer keeping my brightness low, but the perk of a longer battery life makes it even more worthwhile. While turning off your iPad's location services won't double your battery life, it can add a good half hour or more of use. Simply dropping the screen auto-lock time from five to two minutes can increase your battery life by over half an hour per charge.
