With cell service and wifi turned off, how many pictures on average can you take with an iPhone 4/4S before the battery dies? I googled this, but couldn't find anything too helpful.
Got a tip for us?

I don't have an exact number (and I doubt someone will actually take photos until their phone dies to test this out for you), but I'm sure it's a lot. There are also many factors that play into this such as brightness.
A better question would be, "How many shots are you expecting to take?" Then we can tell you if it's reasonable or not.

I took about 250 pics today plus two videos. Had 3G on all day and full brightness. Unplugged from charger this morning at 6:00am and came back home around 3:00pm with about 45% bat life left. Made 0 calls, sent about 12 texts and 8 emails. - iPhone 4S
EDIT: Videos were less than 2 minutes each.

Example:
3g on
wifi on but not connected bluetooth off
current battery ~50%
100 shots later 20-30%
1 hour length
medium brightness
BTW, for my curiosity, why would you be taking so many pics off your iPhone? 🙂

I'm going to France for a week and want to pack as light as possible. I'm taking my Olympus XA2 (a 35mm dynamo) for primary use, but plan on using my 4S for backup and bar shots that don't need to be of the highest quality. Just want to make sure my battery isn't gonna crap out in the middle of the day.
