Some people are upset about having to send in their iPhone, pay over $80. and get a loaner phone when the battery drains out? And here's an even deeper question: did Apple really pull the wool over our eyes when it comes to the iPhone battery?

Even if I did know about the non-user replacement iPhone battery, I would not have expected anything else. Sure, if I opened up the iPhone box and saw a removable battery, I would have been shocked to say the least. But alas, that did not happen. (I was not surprised)

Apple's policy on batteries for the iPod certainly hasn't slowed down iPod sales or damaged market share. Why would they change their ways for the iPhone. Do I wish the iPhone and Ipod had a replaceable battery with out having to pull out the solder kit. (and a very steady hand) Absolutely, Some are a little ticked that it will cost them &79 plus $6.95 for shipping when the batteries dies? Yes. Will Apple change their design? No

Here are some tips to extend your battery life:

1. Pay attention to just a few common sense pointers will pay off with a longer battery lifespan and battery life for your iPhone. The most important thing is to keep your iPhone out of the sun or a hot car (even the glove box is bad). Heat will degrade your battery's life and performance the most.

2. Lock your iPhone

3. Turn off Wi-Fi (especially if you are not going to be using it)

4. Turn Off Bluetooth

5. Turn on auto-brightness

6. Turn off Equalizer

I hope this helps you out on you iPhone battery Lifespan. Enjoy it, The phone is a lot of fun!
