Apple iPhone 5 must be your latest asset, with its price and your craze for the best mobile in the world; you will definitely have to protect it with all your life. You just cannot take any chances to get it under repair. However with proper care and maintenance you can keep it just like a new piece. Here are a few ways to keep it protected.

1.  Use Screen guards

It is always best to use a screen protector on both the front and back side of the phone. This prevents your phone against scratches and also offers protection from dust, dirt, moisture etc. An invisible shield like a clear thin plastic sheet like film is the best option to protect your iPhone’s screen from finger prints, scuffs, scratches. And also use a case apart from screen protectors. Choose any case made of plastic, rubber or any other material that protects your iPhone well in case it falls or hits any hard objects.

2. Regularly clean it

Always clean the phone with a soft piece of micro fiber cloth. Wipe the screen with this cloth in order to free your phone dirt and grime. Also clean the inside by removing the case and the back of your phone. Clean the speaker holes and other areas where the cloth cannot reach using a straw or can and compress air into that area to blow of the dust.

3. Maintain your Phone at normal temperature

 At times due to heat or exposure to sunlight or overuse your iPhone can get hot. In such cases place your phone in a cool place to bring the temperature to normal or turn it off to come back to normal. Do not use your phone until it returns to normal.

4. Always download apps from reliable sources only

To prevent your phone from malware attack and getting infected with viruses download apps or other files from reliable and recognized sources only. Never ignore the malware warning you get when you enter a site. In case something happens try to remove the infected file or rebbot your phone.

5. Prolong your iPhone’s battery life

The most important part of a phone is its battery and you must take care to protect it. Prolong the battery life of your iPhone by charging it in the right manner. Never overcharge your phone and in the same way never wait till the battery drains out completely and then charge it. To make the battery last long use only important applications to run in standby.

If you use your iPhone 5 in a proper way it will definitely last long, so that you can enjoy your best phone for a long time.
