What usage/standby numbers indicates a bad battery?
Should I return my iPhone if I only get 6-8hrs of usage and 2days of standby?
What are the minimum expectations (What Apple spec'd?)?
My usage pattern is:
Internet: 50% (google maps, stocks, forums, weather)
iPod: 25% (movie clips, music)
Misc: 10% (photos, calls, camera)
Current Usage Data:
Usage: 5hrs
Standby: 1 Day 9hrs
Remaining: 35% battery
Settings:
- Auto Brightness Off
- Brightness set at 10% or less
- Wifi usually Off
- Silent Vibrate Off
- Mail - Manual Check only

Those numbers are A LOT better than mine!! I actually didn't realize that STANDBY NUMBERS are actually the TOTAL you should subtract the USAGE NUMBERS from and then add a little more to the USAGE to get an accurate view of your real USAGE. Does that make sense? They just explained this to me at The Apple Store yesterday. I will do one more day of 'battery testing' with moderate to heavy use and make a decision whether to keep or return. But even with the question of battery life, I still LOVE the iPhone!!
