even if it was removable, switching batteries every 40 minutes of use is ridiculous.

40 minutes though? There's not a single phone on the market that gets that poor of battery life when brand new.

Probably a prototype phone. 2 months before release, can Apple pull this one off?

obviously you've never owned a razr and are showing your ignorance.

My razr lasts a good 2-3 days on a single stock battery, stock charge, normal usage

I think it was a shot at how crappy the razrs were. Everyone I know who has a razr wants to get rid of it ASAP for various reasons. Dunno about the latest versions though.

My razr would barely last a day even with a brand new oversized battery.

For those of you questioning the validity follow the links back to the original article.

Here

Its Dvorak so take it with many grains of salt and the source is shaky but not it isn't just some blogger making thing up.

EDIT: Grammar

I haven't read any of this, but do you guys really think Apple would release a product that only gave 40 minutes of use?

The first ipod was doomed with low battery life...so the guys at apple worked nonstop to get it right and eventually they did before the first release. I'm sure this will be the same case.

Exactly. But this is Anandtech.. Any negative word regarding Apple or their products always has legs here..

The iPhone will not have 40 minutes of battery life. Anyone who thinks that it will is just looking for a reason to rip Apple and/or their products.
