iPhone 4 Battery Life

Options
Can some iPhoners please give me some feedback on battery life for their iPhone 4?:beer:

Is it a case of charge every day/night?

I've got a HTC HD2 and with Bluetooth and push email, it doesn't last a whole working day.:eek:

    I do tend to charge my iPhone4 every night. It wouldn't last two working days without a charge.

    But I do use it a lot - it's replaced my paper organiser and my MP3 player so it's in almost constant use when I'm in the office.

    It will easily last the weekend without charging when I'm not using it quite so intensively.
  • Battery life is pretty poo to be honest. I think the thing which sucks up most of your battery is the GPS locator. I'd shy away from using maps or a Foursquare auto check-in service if you want to save battery..

    Battery life isn't too good on all new smart phones. It just depends what you use. You can get lots of hours out of an iPhone if you just use the iPod and listen to music, but if you start watching videos online it eats up the battery.

    Have a look for something called Appkiller. I use this on my htc and it kills all the apps you think you have closed but are still running in the background and thus drain the battery..
