I have been using my new 3G S for just over a week now, and had decided to put it through a few full charges before I started to ask about other users' experience with its battery life. I have WiFi, Bluetooth and 3G turned off in settings, and yet the 3G S's battery life is very disappointing. After fifteen minutes of listening to music or a short while checking email/surfing in Safari, the battery level lowers visibly and quite considerably.
I've contacted my network (O2 UK) who told me to try restoring the iPhone before requesting a replacement. I'll try that but I doubt it'll make much difference. Apparently I can ask for a swap for a new handset up to 28 days after purchase. I just wondered if anyone else has had this sort of experience with the new iPhone. My first generation handset had a much more impressive battery life and I wasn't doing anything differently with it.
Really pleased with the 3G S on the whole but if this sort of performance is standard I don't think I can be doing with it. With what I'd call quite minimal usage the charge doesn't even last the day.
