Remember when you first got your iPhone, you were told that setting up fetch email could drain your battery faster? No? Well maybe I’m just a little too particular about all that stuff. I still had mine set to fetch every 15 minutes, and I had to charge my phone daily. Not to mention you could be getting important emails 15 minutes later than you’d like to see them.
Google has the answer. They have updated their sync help to include mail. Previously you could only sync Calendar and Contacts items with their sync service. Now you get push email.
It’s sort of ironic, however, that all of this is done through the Microsoft Exchange mail options in your iPhone. Hey, as long as it works, that’s cool with me. And I don’t have to pay any extra for it.
Will this change my battery longevity? I sort of doubt it, but I’m a little curious to see.
