Ridiculous. Its sad that we live in a world like this. What's next? They will sue Siri for not fully understanding the words someone says...It looks like this law firm is about to file a class action over the battery drain issue.
Abington Cole | iPhone 4S Class Action10-31-11 11:28 AM - I said it was a non-issue for me. I have no problems. I never said that everyone else had great battery life like myself. While I am of the opinion with all the chargers readily available in today's society, battery life should be a non-issue for most people, it doesn't necessarily mean that someone wants to be tied to their charger all day (which I don't feel I am... I can't speak for someone else).
I took my phone off the charger at 9:30pm last night and I'm sitting at 42% as of 12:36pm. I'll throw it on the charger before I leave work and it'll last me all night.
I never had any problems with my Torch 9800 slider, but that doesn't mean that other people didn't have those issues. I honestly only try to speak from my personal experience and I really try not to pass judgement on devices that I, personally, have not held in my hand.
I'm glad you and your church minister have phones that works for your needs. BBs are great at what they do. That's the most important thing that a lot of people forget. Not everyone needs the same things out of their device.

Be aware that the most you charge your battery, the less the battery will live.
The fact that on your device, the battery is "built in", makes this point very sensible.
In other words, the way you use it may result in a dead device much sooner than it is capable of.
So, with the greatest
I can, I'll suggest to have your chargers ready, but to use it only if it is needed.10-31-11 11:45 AM - With the current life cycle of most phones..this is a non issue. If someone was holding onto a phone for 5 years..then perhaps they may need to be concerned about a battery life cycle. But for the majority of people..the phone will be long gone before the battery.There's a point you may have missed, on a technical side.

I plan on keeping my 4S until my next two-year contract is up, by that time the iPhone5S (or whatever it'll be) should be out. I'll upgrade. No need to worry about the battery dying. My husband's iPhone3G's battery started giving out before he got his 4S. That thing lasted a solid 3 years. I don't know many people who even hold on to their smartphones for 3+ years anymore.
And if it gives out before 2 years, well then I'll take it to Apple. They have exceptional customer service.10-31-11 11:54 AM - You're welcome ...This.

Yet, we don't know how many cycles are allowed before turning the max power down to 50%.

Good to know and ... my bad.10-31-11 12:18 PM - I would recommend that you get the iphone 4s replaced by Apple if you are experiencing battery issues before your warranty expires. You do not want to be holding a dead phone after warranty period only to realize that you should ve replaced it earlier.
I have had my ipad1 replaced twice and Apple is prompt in getting this done. Not sure if it works the same in the US, but in India, we just need to take it to an Apple service center and they will evaluate and offer a replacement.
My hp laptop battery gave up about a month after the warranty expired, almost as if it was timed to do so!!
10-31-11 12:20 PM - That's weird, they don't replace ipad1 batteries in the US. If you are in the warranty, they give you a free ipad. If you are out of the warranty, they offer you a brand new one for $100.I would recommend that you get the iphone 4s replaced by Apple if you are experiencing battery issues before your warranty expires.

No evaluation needed either, they just replace.Last edited by brucep1; 10-31-11 at 12:47 PM. Reason: add content
