How are you iPhone Warriors able to do everything on an Phone without the battery going out too fast

I know a lot of you good folks do everything on your iphones , but I can't just use my iPhone regularly without the batt dying too fast and I don't even like phones... so what dark magic are you employing to make it an even remotely viable solution for full projects?

  • Keep it plugged in?

  • makes sense but everybody's always talking about doing so much on the go, how is this being accomplished

  • I’ve seen people using GarageBand on the bus.
    Will see how I will use my iPhone 8 once I get it...

    When making heavy cpu music on my iPhone 7 Plus, battery can go from 100% to empty in less than two hours, sometimes even less. Using less intensive apps can leads to 4 hours battery life. I always have a charged powerbank with me, with a X2 lightning adapter for charger and headphones. Also, that powerbank or wall plug should not provide more than 1 amp to avoid iPhone heat/cpu throttle. From my experience, all of this is not a such big issue, as a two hours session is enough. Making breaks is good. When I don’t use it, I always charge my iPhone when possible in case I need to make music again.

    Yup.

  • I’m having this issue even after replacing the battery on my iPhone 6 a couple of weeks ago. The battery will run out if I’m doing heavy music making on the go so I carry around a small portable charger for those days.

    Maybe I need to try one of the Apple smart battery cases:

    I also do all the usual stuff recommended to save battery life as mentioned here:

    And also keep the screen brightness low.

    I wonder if the latest iPhones last longer.

    Yup.

    Or just figure on a 30-60min session (to have some battery left over).

  • I can usually get a couple solid hours of work in on the phone before I have to worry about battery life, though that is admittedly with more self-containted apps like Groovebox and KEW. I'm pretty fanatical about keeping my phone always charged though, and I also upgrade every year or two as well. Those little USB battery chargers are brilliant for longer on the road (or air) sessions as well.

  • I don’t use Gadget. But honestly I’m more on the couch than on the go so I can plug it in. Also I use standalone apps, one at a time usually, like KEW, GR-16, etc

  • Gadget is still easier on the battery usually than hitting near 100% regularly in AUM on the CPU - that eats my battery like crazy as opposed to "merely quicky" from Gadget.

  • I see, yeah I'm looking to forego the external batt packs and such as I do that already too much with my hardware beat machines etc so I guess the lesson is for on the go no muss no fuss iPhone projects take standard power precautions and just live with a 2 hour expectancy..

  • I have a special machine which powers my phone when I fart. I can go all damn day after a single wall charge and an Irish breakfast.

    My battery life STINKS in comparison.
