Walt Mossberg’s Six Week Rundown of the iPhone 4

I don’t know why a report like this is still necessary, but Mossberg has written a short article on the performance of his iPhone 4 over the course of six weeks out in the real-world.

A key reason Apple moved most of the antenna to the outside of the phone was to free up room inside for a larger battery, while keeping the phone thin. In my six weeks of experience, the battery life has been outstanding. I have never run out of battery in a day’s use, despite constant, heavy email traffic, lots of Web surfing and app usage, and frequent checking of social networks.
