iPhone 3GS Battery


Of all of the things to be skeptical about regarding iPhone 3GS The
compass, the ease of copy and paste, and especially the voice control,
you would think one of these would be the flop. No one I think,
anticipated the battery life to be non-sufficient.
At the very least I think loyal iPhone customers expected the
battery to perform to the same standards as iPhone 3G. However this
is not the case. Although apple claims they have
Managed to improve battery life, this writer has experienced
otherwise. When u think About it, it makes perfect sense. Apple did
not physically change the battery from the 3G to the 3GS, yet changed
alot of other hardware. Apple changed the camera, the processor, the
ram, the video processor, however they left their battery the same!
Am I talking about a little bit of a difference? No, that would be
Understandable- not welcome, but understandable. On my 3G i used to
get up at around 8:30 daily, with a full charge. Setting out on my day
I would check my email a few times a day, take a picture or 2, check
out the app store, browse the net, and maybe play some games. When it
was time to go to bed at 10:30/11:30, I would have approximately 40%
battery life. I say approximately because before 3GS u couldn't tell
percentage wise how much juice was left, unless you jailbroke.
With my 3GS I wake up almost at the same time and do about the
exact same stuff, mind you I do it much faster. When it is time to retire
for the evening I am down to 10-20% battery remaining.
In addition to the above information of my daily use, it is important
for you to know that my battery slider is turned low, and I have engaged
my auto-lock to start after 1 minute. I also think it would be interesting
for you to know that I typically have my iPhone set to vibrate. This means
when I am playing games I am usually doing so without sound.
This as far as I am concerned is absolutely unacceptable and this
wrong needs to be righted from apple. Please pass the URL for this blog
around to your friends and family and especially anyone you know with
an iPhone.
