In a press release issued today, a new website and service is introduced that moves us one step closer to human-device equality. Yes, now you can marry your iPhone, iPod or iPad. Although it may seem like an April fools joke, the website www.MarryYouriPhone.com is actually a clever way to attract new potential subscribers to iPhone Life Magazine .

I am proud to say that in a brief, albeit glorious ceremony this morning, my iPad and I have tied the proverbial knot: Mazel Tov!

This April Fools' thread started by featured a tongue-in-cheek ceremony "marrying" an iPad, and the follow-ups from , , and show how a marketing gag can spark useful hardware talk. The jokey "affair on a stick" line is fun; the short notes below pull practical device-care points out of the joke.

Phones and tablets use lithium-ion cells that age with heat, time, and charge cycles. Keeping the device cool is the single most effective longevity measure: avoid prolonged exposure to hot cars, direct sun, or high-heat chargers. Partial charging generally stresses batteries less than repeated full discharges; for long storage, holding the charge near half and powering down is recommended. Quality chargers and cables reduce stress on charging circuitry. Heavy cases combined with fast charging increase temperatures; removing a case during intensive charging can reduce heat build-up.

Signs of battery decline include rapid, unexplained drops, sudden shutdowns, and very short run times. Typical troubleshooting steps include checking for runaway apps, updating firmware, and disabling excessive background activity; persistent problems usually indicate cell wear and are best handled with an authorized battery replacement instead of uncertified repair. Data protection matters: automatic backups and device encryption preserve photos, messages, and settings when hardware finally needs service.

The stunt serves as a reminder: devices will fail eventually, and planned maintenance — regular backups, safe charging habits, and timely battery service — extends usefulness and reduces drama when the inevitable battery death happens. Thanks to and the responders for the laugh and for nudging a useful hardware conversation.
