Batterisparing på iOS

http://www.overthought.org/blog/2014/the-ultimate-guide-to-solving-ios-battery-drain

What most people tell you is that closing your apps will save your battery life because it keeps the apps from running in the background.

Wrong.

Yes, it does shut down the app, but what you don’t know is that you are actually making your battery life worse if you do this on a regular basis. Let me tell you why.

By closing the app, you take the app out of the phone’s RAM . While you think this may be what you want to do, it’s not. When you open that same app again the next time you need it, your device has to load it back into memory all over again. All of that loading and unloading puts more stress on your device than just leaving it alone. Plus, iOS closes apps automatically as it needs more memory, so you’re doing something your device is already doing for you. You are meant to be the user of your device, not the janitor.

Review: iPad 2 is not revolutionary, but it is great - Chicago Sun-Times

There’s no question: this is no nominal speed bump. The difference in speed between the iPad 1 and the iPad 2 is what happens between the point when the driver says “What does this button marked ‘Afterburners’ do?” and the point where the car impacted high up on the side of a cliff 300 yards off of the highway.

Her er det både gullkorn og skivebommer. Så vidt jeg kan se så mangler den mislykkede spillkonsollen deres Apple Bandai Pippin fra 1995 og alt etter 2009, blant annet Mac mini server, iPhone 3GS og Magic Mouse. Vi kan vel oppsummere med at det har tatt seg opp.

Jeg kan krysse av på

  • 1997 PowerBook G3

  • 2001 PowerBook Titanium G4

  • 2003 iBook G4

  • 2005 iPod Shuffle

  • 2005 Mac Mini

  • 2007 iPhone

  • 2008 iPhone 3G

  • AirPort Express

  • Et par tastaturer

  • Mighty Mouse

  • Magic Mouse

(Årstallene er da de startet å produsere modellen, ikke nødvendigvis da jeg kjøpte den.)

Hvordan ligger du an?

iPhone vs. Nexus One

Android is like a very nice painting done entirely with broad strokes. The iPhone is more like a masterpiece in which every little detail has been meticulously defined. Just as people have different tastes in art, people will have different tastes when it comes to the iPhone versus the Nexus One. But that doesn’t change the fact that some pieces of artwork are considered to be masterpieces, while some are considered to be merely very good.
