David Moore Shares His Secrets of Long iPhone Life
I know, the title is a little strange but it’s a play on a rather lame article about a guy, called Guy and his iPhone posted onĀ TUAW. Yesterday I submitted the news about the iMac and Macbook Pro not waking from sleep to them, needless to say I think they are not interested. I had a brief scout through their site and I can see why they didn’t like it, it was real and slightly serious news!
So I read the ‘Guy‘ article and decided to see just how great Guy is with his iPhone, and found out he is really rather below par. So Guy, TUAW, here is my iPhone usage page. 3G is on 100% of the time, WiFi has been on but is normally disabled, GPS has been on but is usually disabled, PUSH on for Mobile Me calendars, contacts and bookmarks. I have the other two mail accounts set to check every 15 minutes and have over 15 apps installed, mainly games. The usage you see is mainly through games and Omnifocus usage.

So it would appear I beat Guy by 11hrs standby time, 34 minutes usage time and 15mins call time and still actually having the functionally my phone was shipped with!
Note: This screen shot was taken with 10% still left in the battery, I will update with the final figures at battery death.
