Is wifi off? Before Ios 4 I never had a dead battery on my 3gS, it always lasted the entire day. Now when I get home from work I'm getting the 20% warning. The only time I've really ran into battery issues with iphones is people who leave their wifi on when not connected.

Wifi broke on mine. It's a grayed out option now so it hasn't been on in a long while

Take it back to apple yo, assuming its still under warranty. I think I'm going to go for the squaretrade warranty this time because it covers water and drop damage.

I would wait on the phone for a bit, due to some big issues with the reception being reported. There is a class action Lawsuit against apple over this already and if it is indeed true there should be a hardware revision soon. Maybe its all just BS.

Like I said it doesn't really matter, if I have issues I have 30 days to take it back. From talking to the people I know that own one, they arent having any issues.

I say its BS. Mine gets FAR better reception than my 3g did.



Its almost as cool to hate on the iphone as it is to have one. There is no in between on it, almost everyone has a very polarized opinion on it.

Actually if you were say a company that didn't have a phone that even comes close to the iphone and you were losing customers..... when a new model comes out a starts selling so fast they can't even keep taking pre-orders it's not a bad idea to come up with some sort of story that makes the phone sound defective ya know?
