Complaints are abounding about the new iPhone and while it has the capacity to navigate you through an unknown terrain or surf the net, you would be hard pressed to enjoy all this due to its incredibly short battery life.

The new iPhone 3G is supposed to let users perform actions faster and users have the opportunity to load a plethora of applications from iTunes. However, the cellular chip that provides the 3G feature eats energy! Users who wish to perform basic functions, like listening to music can do so for up to 24 hours but start surfing the net for your music and you can run out of battery in 5 or 6.

Apple is trying its best to revamp the design but technologists are saying that people simply need to realize the capacities of our gadgets today. They may have evolved a lot from the past, but they now are similar to small computers, and just like your laptop, you can’t expect it to keep running day in and day out.

There are many blogging websites that suggest how you can maximize the battery life in your iPhone 3G. Apple suggests that the simplest way to save energy is to actually turn it off – but isn’t that the purpose of a phone, to have it on at all times?
