Yeah, it does. Probably a noticeable amount if you are playing a game for 30 mins straight or something, but just checking your phone everyone once in a while probably not a big deal.
I try to keep mine about 50-60% brightness which seems fine and you get used to it after a while and doesn't seem dim. I only turn it to max if I'm outside and it's really sunny.
I charging my iPhone every day. Does that will make the battery life shorter?
Does that will?
Apple recommends you drain your iPhone at least once a month. This recalibrates the charge measuring circuit, which "learns" battery capacity.
For most people this happens in the normal course of use.
It won't hurt your battery to top if off before its empty.
In general, with the battery technology used in the iPhone, maintaining your battery at full charge (always on a dock) is not good for it. The battery likes to be exercised.
Battery service life will be reduced when batteries are charged to the maximum. I'm sure Apple sets the cutoff charge at a reasonably conservative level, but never the less, if you always charge till the Plug Symbol shows full charge, you reduce over-all life span to gain very little run time.
Yeah, having the brightness all the way up will for sure affect the battery. I usually keep mine just below 50% so around 45% with "auto-brightness" on. With that my battery lasts all day with minimal decreases.
Just experiment with yours and see how it effects your battery life.
Holy cow BadAsh that sounds crazy but I think I will give it a try..LOL
Give it a try for a day and see what you think. I have mine set the same way. Once you get used to it, it's fine. Now I think it looks awkward at even 50%.
*Most* of the people who spend time on the Crackberry forums are very biased if you haven't noticed. Even some that claim to like the iPhone!
Yeah.. I've been spending a lot more time over here ever since my iPhone arrived.
And I moved the battery down to 30-35 and decided to just live with it but if I don't notice a significant difference in the battery I'll probably bump it back up to about 50%
