It is sometimes said that even bad news is good publicity. We doubt that Apple thinks so recently, with all the hubbub over Apple’s iPhone 3GS.
Apparently, Apple’s user forums have been littered with user complaints regarding the poor battery life they’re experiencing with the new iPhone 3GS, which was released this past June. Apple is currently looking into the reported problems with the battery completely draining when the phone is in Standby mode, or in another case, the battery died after sending only a few text messages after charging all night long.
It’s gotten to the point where Apple is asking users who are experiencing issues with poor battery performance to turn on battery-life logging and to send those log files to AppleCare for review. Apple hopes to get to the bottom of this as soon as they can.
What good is a phone that won’t stay charged? Of course, it can always double as a paperweight.
