If you're constantly finding yourself with a dead iPhone before the end of the day, we have a few tricks that'll make sure that never happens again.

These tips will keep you juiced up all day.

Watch which apps are draining the most battery life. Go into Settings > Battery to learn more about what’s draining your phone and why. If it’s apps that use location services (Twitter, Google Maps and many others) consider limiting when they can access that information.
