Reasons You Should Avoid iPhone 3GS
July 3, 2009 – 4:49 am | No Comment

iphone-battery-life

People who spent hours standing in Ques outside shops to get the latest iPhone 3GS are now cursing themselves. The device which broke all previous record of sales is now proving too costly as the buyers are not able to use their iPhone during day just because they have used 3G in the night.

The reasons to avoid iPhone 3GS are:-

1) Poor battery life: According to a popular magazine Consumer Reports the average battery life of iPhone 3GS is only seven hours and that only if you use it for making calls. The battery life depends on various factors like number and length of calls, texting, Internet surfing and watching videos. The iPhone 3GS is found to lag in battery life around one hour behind the original iPhone and this is annoying many customers who already bought the device.
Apple reduced the size of the battery in order to make iPhone 3GS smaller and lighter than the previous versions but to achieve this goal they sacrificed the battery capacity.
Apple’s decision to add video recording features does not match with the battery capacity. Buyers who bought iPhone to play games will be disappointed as gaming demand a lot of battery juice and playing a good session of game may drain the battery making them drop miss phone calls.
2) Overheating: As of June 25 Apple cautions iPhone 3GS users to operate the handsets within acceptable temperatures. The reports are coming from various part of the world about the iPhone 3GS overheating. The first report of overheating came from France where it is claimed that iPhone 3GS became so hot that white colored handset turned brown. The recommendations from Apple about the operating temperatures are:
Store iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS in a place where the temperature is between -20 and 45 degrees Celsius (-4 to 113 degrees Fahrenheit). Don’t leave the device in your car, because temperatures in parked cars can exceed this range.

Symptoms of overheating

    * iPhone will no longer charge
    * iPhone display will dim
    * Weaker cell signal
    * iPhone temperature warning screen appears (see bottom)

Tips To Avoid Overheating:

  • Do not run too many applications at once while in sun
  • If you feel its getting too hot to handle then turn it off for few minutes
  • Avoid placing it in direct sun
  • Return the phone to the Home screen when you’re not using it to ensure that no application is running
  • Don’t leave the iPhone in a car on a hot day
  • Use of certain applications like mapping and gaming for extended periods might lead to the iPhone overheating. Limit the length of these activities if possible
