Apple has revealed details of its battery replacement plan for the iPhone.

The plan costs $79 plus an additional $6.95 postage and packing. Under the plan, iPhone users will be able to have their battery replaced if it fails; the plan extends to devices that have passed their warranty period.

Installing a new battery also means users must expect a three-day wait and should be prepared for all the data on their phone -- including contacts, e-mail account settings, text messages and other content -- to be wiped out.

Why would the battery need to be replaced? All the rechargable batteries I've used last for years. Does Apple use some shitty batteries?

Years, as in 2... recharable batteries lose their ability to hold charge slowly over time.

Depends on the person as to what is acceptable as amount of charge.

I heard somewhere that the battery will last 400 recharges (cant find it now) and from the seems of it, this bad boy needs a recharge almost every day, so whats thats gonna give you? 2 years and maybe after a year it starts sucking alot.
