The battery!!! - Page 2

I dont know about the rest of the world, but in the 5 or so cell phones I've owned, I've never onced needed to replace the battery, I dont know what the big deal is with the non-removable battery. I'm sure someone will make a portable recharger in case your out and about and don't have access to a power plug... like in the jungle or other remote places people will be using the iPhone.

Yeah, the durability of batteries today is pretty nuts; they never need to be replaced from normal usage. However, if you drop your phone and you internally damage the battery, then you could not simply replace it. However, if you drop this phone hard enough to damage the battery, I think the battery would be at the least of your worries (cracked screen... d'oh!).

iPhone battery information:

If it's less than 1500MaH I won't be buying an iPhone. Anyway, as it is now way underspecced for UK release much later this year, I probably won't be buying one anyway as it stands; as much as I love the concept.

To be anywhere in the market here in the UK later this year it has to support UMTS and have at least a 3.2 Mp camera. Mind you, if Jobs is as clever as I think he is, I'm sure we'll see a very different version when the time comes.

Just a final note on battery: IMHO there has never been a finer device for battery consumption than my 60Gb iPod Photo.

I don't see the point of making the battery non-removable. Why not just make the battery removable and replaceable? Isn't it better to be safe than sorry? As the iPhone ages the phone's battery may weaken or break. That's just a fact. Apple can't ensure that it won't happen, so why make the battery non-replaceable?
