I just got my phone 5 days ago and the battery doesnt last longer then 24 hours. i took it to an apple store and they said they will only replace it with a refubished one because i bought it at an AT&T store. I took it to the AT&T store and they said they will only replace the deffective phone they sold me if i PAY THEM a restocking fee. I expected that kind of dirty business practice from AT&T but not from Apple. Im very dissapointed in the Battery Life on this $400 phone and even more dissapointed that both companies who sell this phone are unwilling to do anything about. Whats the point of having all those features on the iPhone if the battery cant handle it? Apple has failed me once again. Just as it did in the 90s with their crap computors.

[...] be quite a boon to Apple. Especially in use on the iPhone which is still under fire for it’s less then stellar battery life.The cons of this is that Apple now has to manufacture these chips themselves. [...]

I can tell battery life is gonna be a problem for me too. Having to charge every night it’s gonna wear out fast. I did some looking and found an option besides apple’s $85 replacement though, ipodjuice.com just added iPhone battery replacement.

found this on another blog……the key battery killing features may indeed be the Auto-WiFi as well as the Auto-Brightness features.

“Apple’s hyper-detailed documentation of how it came up with its battery-life estimates:

Video Playback: Testing conducted by Apple in May and June 2007 using preproduction iPhone units and software. Video content was a repeated 2 hour 23 minute movie purchased from the iTunes Store. All settings were default except: Call Forwarding was turned on; the Wi-Fi feature Ask to Join Networks and Auto-Brightness were turned off.

hey john, I can already see the conflict coming between an itchy email finger and a longer 30 minute retrieval setting :)…mix in a few more diet cokes and a serious iPhone twitch might start to develop!

p.s. - great blog!
