iPhone batteries - to change or not to change?

On of the raging controversies surrounding the iphone's hardware design decisions is the iPhone's battery. As you are aware, iphone's batteries are soldered onto the main PCB and are not meant to be changed. Customers are going to be concerned because of this fact. For one, heavy phone users are not going to like this as they would not like to get stranded if the onboard batterry dies down and they cannot get back on to their phones by swapping a charged stand by battery. Second, this is possibly going to cause maintenance problems as well. If the battery needs replacement, chances are, you might need to replace the entire iphone as there is no way to seperate out the battery. We all know what a pain that would be - considering that we need to do backups from the iphone onto our PCs and from our PCs back to the new iphones.

Ofcourse, we need not be concerned about the problems as the phone itself is quite new and in all possibility, the battery should work fine for a year or so. After that? don't look at me. Apple has to provide an asnwer. It better be a good one since it has one whole year to think of one.

iphone bugs

One of the off-side of being an early adopter is that you have to deal with the bugs that come up with new software / new device. 'Why can't they come up with something that is without bugs?' You ask. You see, the problem is, however smart the design team is, it cannot possibly test a device or software for every possible eventuality. Compound this with the fact that the most sophisticated software is also the one that is most susceptible to failure as it has to interact with so many different elements. Devices are bound to have imperfections and iPhone is no exception.
A team of engineers at applehound fiddling around with the iPhone have released a list of 68 bugs . In case you purchased an apple iPhone, you don't need to feel like you purchased a lemon. Chances are, in course of your normal usage, you will never encounter any of these errors. Another good thing about this is that the bugs are all software related. This means that these bugs can be fixed by a simple firmware / software update through the Internet. It would have been much more difficult to resolve if it had been related to hardware.
