That is the only issue I have with my iPhone as well. Battery life!! I charge it up whenever I can but does anyone know if this will hurt the battery life. I know in the past, we were always told not to recharge things until they were used up or there would be a memory effect. Is this true with the iPhone batteries?

Recently heard that a PhD student manages to increase iPhone battery life by 12x. More: http://www.ranjith7.com/a-student-increases-iphone-battery-life/

this isnt a comment about the battery. i just wanted to inform some of you that i recently jailbroke my phone and now its dead lol i wouldnt advice it to people to download the programme called installous as its written by a dodgy programmer and ended up loosing my phone over an update. i will still try and claim the warranty but will probably get refused..

Im having much the same problems as chris with my new iphone 3GS.ive only had it for 2 and a bit days and the battery life is shockingly bad! I started today with 100% its 16:31 now and its got 52%, since i started writing this comment it has dropped by 2%, chances are my phone will switch off at about 20:30. I bloody well hope this isnt normal…

I have the TMobile MyTouch phone and when I leave for work in the morning it’s fully charged. On my drive home my battery is often dead already. It’s pathetic really. I have the GPS off, wifi on and 3g on. Don’t use it to talk during the day and at most use it for radio for 30 min. Sure it will be fixed in the next generation that I’ll be too bitter to buy.

I’ve found mine to be very hit and miss, although it’s a 3G not the latest one. Often there seems to be no correlation between how much I’ve used it and how much battery is left. I think it’s one of those things you have to put up with, unfortunately.

Still, Monkey Island for iPhone is out now, so it’s not all bad.

Maybe Apple don’t like it if your ‘not’ using it Chris!
