“This is our best iPhone launch yet―more than nine million new iPhones sold―a new record for first weekend sales,” said Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO. “The demand for the new iPhones has been incredible, and while we’ve sold out of our initial supply of iPhone 5s, stores continue to receive new iPhone shipments regularly. We appreciate everyone’s patience and are working hard to build enough new iPhones for everyone.”

 

As expected, Apple did not break down iPhone unit sales by model, so there’s no way to know what percentage of that 9 million were iPhone 5s’s and iPhone 5c’s.

  • Use static wallpaper – Go to Settings -> Wallpapers & Brightness -> Choose Wallpaper and select a static wallpaper
  • Turn off Background Application Refresh – Go to Settings ->General-> Background App Refresh and turn it off.
  • Turn off Wifi if you are on Mobile data connection, it will further save battery life by not searching for Wifi networks.
  • Do not leave an application open if it uses GPS (location services)

  1. From any Home screen page of your iOS device, drag your finger down anywhere on the Home screen (do not drag from the top of the screen as it will open notification centre).
  2. Spotlight search will appear and you can search for apps, texts, or any other content you’d like just as you did on previous versions of iOS.
  3. To include exclude applications in spotlight search go to Settings -> General -> Spotlight Search.

This generally happens after replacing screen (Digitizer and/or LED) from a street repair shop. The iPhone wifi shield is uniquely designed to provide better reception through a metal ring on one of their screw holder. Either the metal ring is missing from your shield or the screw is loose; sometimes it could be because of a rusty screw as well.

Have a look on the image below to know about the metal ring I am talking about.

 

Enjoy!! with all 3 bars of your WIFI and better GPS signal
