How offen do you charge your iPhone 4?

Mine stays on a charger almost all the time, especially for tethering...and i havent noticed any change in battery life or anything.

I charge mine every other day which can be considered "infrequently".

I charge it every night. I get poor reception in my office at work, combined with my constant web searches and game playing, my IP4 is thirsty by nights end. Overall I think the battery life is great compared to other smartphones out there.

Hi there' I charge my 3g once every 36 hours and I use it a lot. It sounds like I got a good one comparing it to other peoples iPhones! BTW I usually let the battery run out to around 10% then give a full charge.

I charge every 3 or 4 days as my 2 year old 3G usually gets around 2.5-3+ days of standby with 4-6 hours of usage and even then it's barely reached only 20%.

I charge every night. The thought of my iPhone dying the next day and being caught without a charger terrifies me. But, I am on my phone constantly throughout the day, so it's incredibly normal for my phone to be at less than 10% by bed time...and it's not getting tangled in the sheets or my hair. It's on my window sill.

i have a car charger and an ihome speaker at the office. it stays on either when i'm near them.

I want to say every other day but realistically probably every night. I have been able to charge it every other night with light to normal usage. But I charge it every night just to be safe because you never know when you might need to use it a lot.

Unlike nickel and lead-based batteries, a new lithium-ion pack does not need cycling through charging and discharging. Priming will make little difference because the maximum capacity of lithium-ion is available right from the beginning. Neither does a full discharge improve the capacity of a faded pack. However, a full discharge/charge will reset the digital circuit of a 'smart' battery to improve the state-of-charge estimation

Thanks for reminding us of this. What we learn from one technology may distort our behavior with another.

Wow. This is my second iPhone 4 and I charge it at least twice a day. I'm an ex blackberry user and I need 12 hours of usage a day. I never get it on an iPhone. But I Love this darn device hehe.

I charge mine at least once a day thought I think it will last 2 days but just for safety sake
