I was wondering whether you guys can states at what time in usage (how many months/years) the battery of the iPhone 3GS is (really) detetoriating?

I charge my iPhone daily.

Can it be that I start to see some battery decrease as compared to what it was new?

I'm facing the same issue too, but I guess it's probably got to do with the fact that I record (audio) my classes for 5-6 hours straight and then there's the casual surfing that I do through the day. Sometimes it's enough to leave me with a switched off phone by the end of the day, i.e. from 6AM to 8PM.

I'd suggest you drain the battery to 0%, so that the phone turns off on it's own and then do a full recharge.

It's very hard to compare how your battery should be because everyones use is pretty much unique. Batteries naturally deteriorate over time. Also, according to Apple your iPhone battery capacity will be reduced to only hold about 80% capability after 400 complete charging cycles. Just charging it once a day doesn't mean it went thru one charge cycle. Its how many many discharges equals one full discharge. For example:

-- Person A - depletes their iPhone 25% each day and recharges it each day. It would take them 4 days to equal 1 charge cycle.

-- Person B - depletes their iPhone 50% each day and recharges it each day. It would take them 2 days to equal 1 charge cycle.

-- Person C - depletes their iPhone 100% each day and recharges it each day. It would take them 1 day to equal 1 charge cycle.

This graph kinda shows how different depletion/charges can total one complete cycle.

Also as stated if you don't use your device often to get a full charge cycle each month or if your battery level monitor doesn't seems to be reading correctly you can try running the battery completely down once a month and charge it back up.

If you say you plug it every day, you have a normal battery.

It should drain from 100% to 0% in about 30 hours, with about one hour of 3G talk and about 1 hour of Wifi browse.

Mine depletes from 100% to about 30% with this usage, but from 7 AM to 11 PM.

What I do now is turn it off at night.

1. It helps the battery

2. My friends don’t wake me up when they send me SMS or try to call me.

    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles

      >defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool It is not. It is the inhuman artist replacement. The human writing the prompt is the employer/manager requesting the work product of the artist -- a supervisory/descriptive job that doesn't carry with it any rights to the copyright of that work product at all. And since AI is not human itself, it can't gain copyright for anything it is asked to regurgitate or hallucinate, so it can't transfer that copyright to the employer/manager/human who asked for the output. This was all legally reaffirmed last year. So, no, while there are AI tools, AI slopware generation is NOT a "tool" in the legal definition of that word.

    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles

      Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles by Ivan Jenic Image via: Google Ever since AI image generators went mainstream, the debate over whether AI-generated art is real art hasn't let up. Those who don’t consider AI to be art say that if a machine does the creating and anyone can prompt it, there’s no skill involved, and therefore no art is produced. The counter-argument is equally persistent, as defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool, and that every major technological breakthrough, like the camera or the computer, was met with the same skepticism before eventually being accepted as a legitimate creative medium. Google’s position in this debate is clear. Which is no surprise, as the company is investing billions in AI infrastructure. And now, in efforts to encourage people to use its AI even more, Google is opening Dataland on June 20, which it's calling the world's first AI arts museum. Located inside The Grand LA, a Frank Gehry-designed building in Los Angeles, the museum spans 25,000 square feet. The museum is built around a collaboration with media artist Refik Anadol, who has worked with Google since 2016. The inaugural exhibition is called Machine Dreams: Rainforest, and is powered by an AI model trained on “an extensive dataset of the natural world.” It generates 1.2 billion pixels of visuals in real time and reacts to visitors dynamically. The space also generates soundscapes, real-time emotion sensing, and algorithmically produced scents. Image via: Refik Anadol Studio / Google Google says that the museum is powered by its Gemini models, which run on Google Cloud. So, everything is generated inside one of Google’s AI data centers and is streamed to the museum. Alongside the museum opening, Google Arts & Culture is funding an AI Artist Residency, giving four artists $25,000 grants each, along with mentorship from Refik Anadol Studio and access to Google's machine learning tools. Their work will be shown at Dataland and on the Google Arts & Culture website later this year. Google’s AI museum will undoubtedly initiate a fired-up debate on social media, and we can’t wait to see the first reactions. Via: Smithsonian Magazine

      Calling GTA 6 overhyped crap doesn’t make you edgy, it just makes you sound like someone who hasn’t enjoyed anything since the PS2 era.

      I’m not arguing whether Rockstar likes money. Obviously, they do, they’re a business. I’m saying this isn’t new. They’ve always launched console first. This is just how Rockstar operates.
