iPhone Mediocre Battery Life Is Best In Its Class

The battery life of the Apple 3G iPhone is not great but it beats that of other 3G smart phones on the market, according to a PC World report.

PC World's Test Center ran it through their standard talk-time battery life test, and found that on average it ran 5 hours, 38 minutes, a running time that they consider earns a Fair rating.


This is a huge drop from the superior performance of the original iPhone, which ran on AT&T's slower EDGE network and lasted up to 10 hours. However, it is worth noting that the 3G iPhone beat the current 3G smart-phone pack, most of which latest under the 5-hour mark.
