AnonD-88982, 27 Dec 2012Thanks for this info...that explains why apple's small battery is capable of what it's doing. ... moreSymbian should be like old windows mobile 6.5 design? - Press the X on the top hand corner to close app? And it allows multiple apps running in the background.

Could be a very good OS if nokia did not slack for so long..

My wife's gonna upgrade in March 2013 and this will be helpful as I must decide for her between 808 and ip5...she's currently using N8 Nokia.

        iPhone has good standby battery because they have controlled multi-tasking.

        They only allow these basic process running in the background for apps:
        1. VoIP (etc.. viber)
        2. Apple Push Notification
        3. Audio / One instance only. (no overlap from different apps)
        4. Airplay

        all other multi-task will be forced to terminate in 30 secs or so once app terminate or standby.

        While android allows all multi-task to go on even without user's permission. Plus each app have to implement their own push notification (compared to just one from apple)... all of which is very stressful on the phone's radio (wifi/3g/4g etc). They also retain all recent apps in memory, which might use internet connection as well.. but this allows very fast app launches.

Its because most people run after the gs3, and then the screen is too big. And please, this is iphone forum....we guys dont do your forum. Therefore, leave us alone.......we are not jealous of u and not insecure on our own produt. Look at the samsung forums....a lot more complaints than here....to come to our forum and discredit our product is because you cant talk sense in your own forum....

                        iphone have good standby battery life compare to android.

                        android have better usage time then iphone.

                        When you are young, and like to tweak your phone.. play around.. android is good. But when you old.. got children .. tired .. work alot of stuff from life.. iphone best.

                              I've already posted this. My daughter's iphone5 lasts 5 days with normal use (no gaming) and over a day of heavy use. I have a screenshots to prove it. If you gimme an email I can send them to you. Give it some 10 full cycles of battery full fill-drain 2% to 100% and back to 2% and so on. You will see the difference in about two weeks. It has better battery then Samsung galaxy 2 or 3 and Sony Xperia S. however, 4S is somewhat better (perhaps due to a smaller screen).
