Everyone cringes when they hear the beep or look down to see the battery light turn to red on an iPhone. 

If you use your iPhone frequently throughout the day, it is hard for a iPhone to even last a full day without it being charged at some point. 

The new iPhone 5S is supposed to have a longer battery life included, but until then, iPhone users can use any trick in the book to help extend that battery just a little while longer. 

Kevin Smith (Business Insider) of San Francisco Chronicle has listed '10 Simple Ways to Stretch the iPhone's Battery Life'.  

Here are the 10 points in highlights, with a longer definition in Mr. Smith's article. 

1. Turn off auto brightness and turn down screen brightness.

3. Fetch data less frequently.
