Apple iPhone Glass Surface and Battery Life Improved

For what we're paying and the expected usage, this is great news. I was starting to wonder if an Invisible Shield would interfere with the touch screen.

hmm, which thread to i comment? i think this is great news; battery life was one of my biggest concerns about the iphone. should i stock up on some windex?

An invisible shield wouldn't interrupt the function of the touch screen in any significant way, but it would make it harder to slide your finger on the surface, and significantly reduces optical quality.


This is awesome news. If the battery life is even 2/3 what they say I will be very happy, and the move to glass should make the iPhone a significantly better product, both in terms of durability and in terms of look and feel.

that's fantastic! only downside [hardly a downside when iPhone is already pretty sick] is that now it's doubtful they'll be updating this anymore for a while.

how long till an 80gb iPhone?

Cool :) It's getting harder for me to wait for Ver B! But I will be strong.

8 hrs battery life means a lot of cushion before there's any need to worry about replacing the hard-to-access battery.

They're still not mentioning that the actual display SIZE is 3.6", not 3.5". But their own images at http://apple.com/pr --and the fact that it's 160 ppi (I did the math)--make that pretty clearly true.

I feel sorry for the iPhone haters. This gives them two less things to write about.:p

Great news, but how about a plan/price press release!!

that's fantastic! only downside is that this is probably the only update iPhone will see until before launch. ...doubtful they'll be updating this anymore for a while now.

I personally don't see the point of having 80GB in a device that is so susceptible to damage like a cell phone, which is one of the reasons I own a nano instead of a full blown iPod.

Basically the plan features/cost will be my deciding factor now.

that is awesome news except i dont live in the US and i will be getting my iPhone in a little less than a year from now.....can't wait.....hopefully when they release iPhone in Australia it'll be even better.....anyway, i will be glued to this site and youtube and every site that people post stuff about the iPhone on on saturday....it'll be released in the US at 8:00 am saturday (aussie time).......im excited even though i am no where near getting my hands on one.
