iPhone '4' thread

I have the 3g and it used to last until bedtime. I have found that with the update it only lasts til around 8pm. I do have everything on including the bluetooth as I use it in the car for calls. I have a charger in the car and never get caught with it going off. When I can see it`s getting low and I can`t charge it then I turn everything off that I don`t need.

You can't compare an iPhone to your old sony ericsson. Smartphones do so much more than standard mobile phone handsets, they are essentially mini-computers, and alongside that comes higher power requirements. Virtually all smartphones need charging daily. Compared to a laptop that lasts just 2-3 hours on one charge, they actually do pretty good.

exactly
Im using an HTC touch diamond just now
great battery life
but from having smart phones before i am used to daily charge cycles

And I`m sitting here watching the front door waiting for the new iphone. Darn driver couldn`t find my address earlier this morning. House is 3 years old now, even tv detector vans have found their way here. I do have a license by the way!

Can you charge the iPhone 4 via the USB cable through a computer/laptop?

yes, Custardy is correct.


Unlike the iPad you can charge the iP4 on most things that have a USB port.

Again....

I am SO disapointed with the iPhone4 i was looking forward to it for ages. sold now. someone paid silly money for it. now thinking i will have a holiday on the proceeds and leave apple alone.

Does the new iphone 4 need a screen protector?

I know with the older models lots of people had screen protectors, is it worth having one on the iphone 4?

Strange I charge my ipad from a usb and a power source. Although some old USB 1 ports don't have enough power I heard.
Edited to add:and from the battery charge pack and solar charger, forgot those 2.
