7. Your Battery Is Just About To Die
I've only recently acquired an iPhone, and I can categorically confirm that the battery life is crud. I've now taken to carrying my charger with me whenever possible, and finding any outlet to plug it in and keep that percentage above the petrifying and panic-inducing red zone. Preserving your battery is vital, and has become an art-form. If you're going to be out for a while and away from a power source, you have to be conservative and really think things through. You close those unnecessary applications, diminish the screen brightness you do anything in your power to hold on for dear life, just in case you need to call a taxi, or upload a picture of your caramel latte to Instagram. But there's one eventuality that no contingency can prepare you for the phone call. You can just ignore whoever it is, but that's rude, right? Maybe they have something important they have to say, and they can say it, then you can tell them you have very low battery life remaining, it's been lovely talking and you'll call them back at a more convenient time. That could work. It's a nice thought, but it's a lost cause. We've all been there, we try and make our excuses but we get dragged into a conversation, they won't let us go. Then before you know it, your battery is out and your phone is dead. The worst thing about this sorry mess if that you didn't even get to say goodbye, and they in turn think you just hung up.
