How is your iPhone battery doing after a year?

[scotty56]

After watching/reading the keynote from today, I was curious how all the older iPhones (June-September) are doing battery wise? The new battery claims seem pretty nice.

And also, what was apples policy on batteries again? How much to get a new one?

my battery life (after 1 year) is MUCH WORSE than it was the day i bought it. i'd say the health is around 50-60%

mine was doing pretty good, but I just sold it about a week ago, If you want it replaced you should be able to just go into a apple store and tell them that the battery dies too quickly, and i think they will replace yours...

so if I just go in and say to the apple guys my battery dies all the time/will not hold a charge they will just replace my battery for me? I dont really need a new phone, just a new battery. thanks!

Unless your phone was just bought i believe they charge you a fee for replacement battery...

Thats for an iPhone out of warranty. I called apple and they said i still have 91 days left on my warranty. I have an appointment tomorrow with my local store. What will they do to check my battery life?

New Iphone - same ol' battery design?

Anybody experiencing battery issues since the iPhone is only a year old?

I don't understand. Isn't Apple trying to lure more business users as for the iPhone? It seems to be a wonderful tool (after reading about new software that can create video conferencing on the iphone).

I'm very concerned about battery life however..... prolly the poorest design is not having a replacable battery (unlike 99% of all other hardware manufactures).

Sure, get the applecare plan..... but how long am I out of phone while they service it?

Anybody use this for business?

I can't tell a difference with respect to the battery life. Still get amazing battery life.

Tough call for me since I've had it replaced in October '07. But, it's going strong, as I keep it charged and in its dock when I'm at home and charged while in the car. It's gotten down to the red one time and I immediately set up my MB and recharged it to full capacity. 😎

i charge mine every night, usually get around 4 hrs usage before it hits red.

How long were you out of using your iphone while the battery was being replaced? (Thanks for your reply in advance)

I've had mine for a year, with no noticeable decrease in battery life.

I've had mine since day one. I haven't noticed any difference. Still last me all day and then some.

I get only like 3 and a half hours of usage, maybe someitmes 4. Sucks, but battery technology has only gone so far.
