iPhone Battery “Meter”
So, I was using my iPhone on wednesday, bright and early. I had it charging all night and then I unplugged it around 7 in the morning to get started on my day.
Full Battery.
I spend the entire day playing around with it, online, playing Boom, checking out the latest tweets on Tweetie 2… you know, my usual day on the iPhone.
Next thing you know, it’s 10:30 at night, and I’m looking at my phone… Still full battery. How is this possible?
I ended up rebooting, obviously under the assumption that the battery life shown on the phone MUST be wrong, and then when I started it back up, unsurprisingly enough it wouldn’t even LOAD unless I plugged it into the wall.
This got me wondering on a bit. Given that the battery was completely dead to the point that I can’t boot it up (and honestly, I’m surprised the phone didn’t die on me earlier in the day, like around 3-4 pm), I wondered if I hadn’t rebooted, how long the phone would’ve lasted until it shut down.
The way it was acting, however, I came to the absurd conclusion that the phone never would’ve shut off. But of course the battery would die eventually.
I guess I’m still just surprised that the phone lasted as long as it did.
