How long is a iphone life span before it stops working

how long can you use a iphone before it needs repair or it is dead?

If you actually take care of your device... the only limit on it's life is the battery. 
Apple makes no statements, from what I've found, on the life expectancy of the battery.  That being said, many people are still using original and 3G iPhones with the original battery, so that's 4-5 years at least.

  • How long can the iPhone 3GS record video before the battery runs out?

    My father invested in an iPhone 3GS Tripod adapter for his tripod, for some conferences and lectures. He has a 16GB 3GS, which will record about 8.6 hours, according to another thread I've read about on here. But he doesn't really want to bring the USB/Adapter cable with him, and have to worry about finding a power outlet. Assuming his phone is on full charge, and bluetooth/wifi are shut off, and brightness is kept a bit dim (not too dim) - can anyone give me a round about answer of how long the it will record video before the battery dies? This function is today, so timing is critical. I will have him take the charger/usb with extension cable just in case. I'd appreciate anyones input

    Not sure if the battery will die before or after your done recording on the iPhone.But most sites are claiming that you can record up to 2GB per video.I just recorded a one minute clip,and it rounded off to about 34MB.So if you devide that,it rounds off to around an hour of recording video...But take that with a grain of salt,I'm not good with math lol

  • HT1657 How long do I have to wait before I can rent a movie

    How long do I have to wait

    You don't need to wait at all before you can rent a movie.
    If you mean how long have you got to wait before you can watch it, that's very much depends on your Internet connection speed.
    The first thing to check would be your internet download speed, you can do this at www.speedtest.net.
    For instant viewing 1080p HD movies require a recommended speed of 8 Mbps, 720p HD movies require a recommended speed of 6 Mbps, while SD movies require a recommended speed of 2.5 Mbps.

  • How long does your iphone take to charge?

    How long does your iphone take to charge when at various battery levels remaining?
    When your iphone is at 10% battery remaining, how long does it take to charge?
    When your iphone is at 20% battery remaining, how long does it take to charge?
    When your iphone is at 50% battery remaining, how long does it take to charge?
    (Assuming that you charge the phone when the phone is off using the Apple USB cable or dock through a wall power outlet)

    Usually 1 1/2 Hours tops.
    When your iphone is at 20% battery remaining, how long does it take to charge?
    Around the Same
    When your iphone is at 50% battery remaining, how long does it take to charge?
    Thirty Minutes.
    I think if it is taking you 6 to 7 hours then something is wrong here. Either the battery is flawed, the cable or dock is flawed, or something is wrong with the outlet. It should not take that long.

  • How long does a iphone 3gs restore take?

    How long does a iphone 3gs restore take?
    I tried to update my iphone 3gs to the new software iOS4.0.1 I guess and the phone has been restoring and i cannot see any progress.

    Depends on low the battery was, but not out bounds. Mine is usually charged in about an hour or so, but I seldom let it get to near zero (and frankly don't time how long it takes).

  • I just bought and installed the Adobe Illustrator. I would like to know how long can I use the product before an extension is needed?

    I just bought and installed the Adobe Illustrator. I would like to know how long can I use the product before an extension is needed?  And on how many computers can I install this product? Thanks.

    What version exactly did you buy? If you bought CS6, then the license is perpetual and doesn't need any extension. If you bought CC, then you need to renew your plan every year. You can install each Adobe software on 2 machines with a single license for non-concurrent use.

  • How long will the progress indicator spin before safe mode progress bar shows up?

    How long will the progress indicator spin before safe mode progress bar shows up?

    Not a good sign,  your HD is failing or has serious block problems. It might be possible to reformate the drive and start over.
    or something more agressive to do the repair, like Disk Warrior http://www.alsoft.com/diskwarrior/
    You need a backup plan in place here.

  • Configure how long a automatic activity  can run before timeout

    I have a long running job in this step. Can I configure how long that automatic activity can run before it will time out. How do I configure this when running in the BPM Studio and when deploy the apps to the server?
    Alternatively, I was try to use a SecureShell to run a unix job with nohup but somehow it doesn't execute properly and the shell would exit out but the script would not run. When I run the same nohup command line in the external host, it does run properly. Is there any special way to call nohup through SecureShell.
    Thanks,
    Wing

    You can define the timeout of the BP-Methods that is actually the value that should be used for the method in your automatic activities. This is configured into the Engine preferences and it's the Maximum BP-Methods+ Timeout parameter, both for the studio and the enterprise.
    Remember to handle the timeout exception when using this parameter. If not correctly handled, your process will abort.

  • How long is normal battery life for late 2011 macbook air?

    How long is normal battery life for late 2011 macbook air?

    I would also note that the 11" and 13" have different lives.  While the 11" has a smaller screen to drive (and thus, in theory, less power) it also has less space for a battery.  So it turns out the 13" has a longer battery life, all other things being equal (same usage and the like).
    Clearly what's "average" will vary by user.  Depending on what I'm doing, I can get Apple's rated life (or darned close) or I could end up well short of that life.  The "rated" life is 5 hours for the 11" and 7 hours for the 13" but that is, at best, a very rough approximation.  As the picture in captfred's response makes clear, the actual usage of the machine has a huge influence.

    Follow these steps to log into your iCloud account on your computer and deactivate "Find my iPhone" on your device:
    Remove an iOS device or Mac on which you can’t turn off Find My iPhone
    If you can’t turn off Find My iPhone on the device, turn off the device so it goes offline, then remove it from Find My iPhone on iCloud.com.
    Note:    You can also remove your iOS device by first erasing it—just follow the instructions below for removing an iOS device you don’t have. You can later restore the device from an iCloud or iTunes backup.
    Turn off the device you want to remove.
    Sign in to icloud.com/#find on another computer with your Apple ID (the one you use with iCloud). If you’re using another iCloud app, click the app’s name at the top of the iCloud.com window, then click Find My iPhone.
    Click All Devices, select the offline device, then click Remove from Account. If you don’t see Remove from Account, click All Devices again, then click the Delete button next to the device. If the device comes online again, it will reappear in Find My iPhone. If your device reappears, turn off Find My iPhone on the device (follow the instructions above for removing a device by turning off Find My iPhone), or if it’s an iOS device and you no longer have it, follow the instructions below for removing an iOS device you no longer have.
    Remove an iOS device you no longer have
    If you no longer have the iOS device because you gave it away or sold it, you need to remotely erase it before you can remove it.
    Sign in to icloud.com/#find with your Apple ID (the one you use with iCloud). If you’re using another iCloud app, click the app’s name at the top of the iCloud.com window, then click Find My iPhone.
    Click All Devices, then select the device.
    Click Erase [device], then enter your Apple ID password. Because the device isn’t lost, don’t enter a phone number or message.
    Note:    If you’re trying to erase a family member’s device, that person will need to enter his or her Apple ID password on this device. If the device is offline, the remote erase begins the next time it’s online. You’ll receive an email when the device is erased.
    When the device is erased, click Remove from Account.All your content is erased, and someone else can now activate the device.
