iPHONE BATTERY ISSUES
So I have heard from a few buddies of mine at AT&T and even a At&T market Rep that the new Iphone has an internel battery that is programmed to last exactly 200 charges. Not one more or one less but at exactly the 200th charge your battery is turned off and the only way to have it reprogrammed is to send it in to Apple and within a 3 day turn around time and 90.00 your battery will work for exacly 200 more charges.
So if you sign a 2 yr agreement you can only charge your phone once every 3.65 days. If you are like everyone else and charge it once a day your two year agreement will cost an extra 328.50 plus shipping just for battery issues. This is a great phone but i think I will wait until 6 months from now when Apple is over whelmed will...

umm yeah, they already came out and said it's not that it stops charging after 200 charges, like any rechargeable battery after 200th or 300th charge you will notice that the battery doesn't hold the same charge as it was brand new. you can send it in if you deem needed to replace to have it perform to your phone lifestyle(meaning if you use the ipod video alot, internet and other battery draining processes). thas part of the lawsuit thas going on right now. it's also in the EUA when you program your iPhone.

programmed to stop after exactly 200 charges? Why would they put in the time to do that?

first of all...if it's 200 anything it's cycles, not charges. it's still a Lithium Ion battery. After so many cycles it will GRADUALLY lose its charge. A cycle is empty to full and empty again. So if you charge it full..then let it go half way..then full..then half way..then full..that's two cycles. and it's probably more than 200..it's probably closer to 300. which should last the average person about a year...which is the industry average.
