iPhone 3G Battery Test Results

Apple iPhone
CNET Labs finished its first round of talk time testing for both the EDGE and 3G networks. On EDGE the iPhone 3G fell about an hour short of its rated time of 10 hours, while 3G calls matched the promised time of 5 hours. Those times aren't bad.

And in any case, actual day-to-day use will be the real test of the iPhone 3G's endurance. Ideally, it should last a full day with heavy use, but in the experience thus far both the 3G and the GPS appear to be hungry applications that drain the battery quickly.
