Today I want to talk about the iPhone battery pack and why it is a necessity nowadays to have one for your iPhone. When i say iPhone battery pack, I am referring to an external battery that you can attach to your iPhone for added power and battery life whether it be in a form of a case or not. This means longer usage time for the user and a lot more fun with your iPhone.

Let's face it, one of the things that people hate about smartphones in general is the shortage of battery life which is understandable with all the things you could now do with your phone. People are not just using their phone to send SMS and call. They are also using it to email a business partner, facebook a friend, or just to play angry birds when you have nothing else to do.

It has in fact been a major concern in smartphone developers to improve the battery life of the phone and to market the next model of a certain smartphone as having better and longer battery life. But they don't always meet the people's expectations.

So why is it becoming a necessity?

The iPhone is literally feeding on the applications that are created and developed by programmers for it. As more and more applications will be developed, there will be more than a thousand reasons and ways why you will be using your iPhone. I know your smart enough to know that this means more demand for your battery life which is quite short already as we speak of. The new developments and new models haven't been able to catch up in regards to extending the battery life with respect to the growing number of uses for your iPhone. So something to extend your battery life would be of valuable use to you so you can continue to use your iPhone the way you want to without the need to restrict some of its features so you can conserve battery life.

Another reason is the development of new standards for mobile telecommunications systems. Without sounding too technical, these are basically a set of standards that dictate the speed of your phone especially during data transfers. Currently most are using 3G, with new smartphones being advertised as capable of using 4G already. Now with the advancement of these standards is obviously faster speeds but it will also mean more battery consumption needed to comply with the set standards. This explains why some people will advice you to turn-off your 3G on your iPhone or set it to a lower standard to conserve battery.

Those are basically the reasons why an iphone battery pack is becoming a necessity nowadays and will even become more so in the near future especially for people who are on the go and don't have any access to a power outlet to charge their iphone when needed. If you have one already, feel free to share your reasons why you bought one.
