I was thinking about using my iPhone at full brightness it looks a lot better!

For people that have it at full brightness does it always suck up a lot of battery?

Thanks.

It is common knowledge that having the screen brightness set to full will use more power from the battery. But then, so does having BlueTooth or location services on.

Well i was just asking if people use it at full brightness and can survive for a decent amount of time especially on an iphone 4.
 
Okay, now I understand. I keep mine anywhere from 1/2 to 3/4 brightness. Full brightness is to bright for night use and besides it reduces the life the screen.
