iPhone battery die? How does a $7 repair kit sound?

Should your iPhone battery die, you have but so many choices. You can send it to Apple to have it replaced for a cool $85, or you can drop $7 and change on this do-it-yourself kit. It comes with all the tools you’ll need to get the job done, including a highly sophisticated pry bar and, natch, the battery itself.
I honestly don’t know, do iPhone batteries die very often? I don’t want to get one next week, and find out that in six months that battery is shot. I thought goods were supposed to be durable.

Nicholas,
I have been using mine since June last year, typically up to 3,000 minutes a month with heavy web/email use over both EDGE and WiFi. (All I want on monday is 3G, oh, and GPS).
The battery isn’t show any change so far. I also rarely let it fully run-down, just plug it periodically through the day.

Ive been using mine since July and have had no battery issues. Get the new iPhone. You will never look back.

Good to hear. Not being an owner, I wasn’t too familiar with any battery issues. And depending on what the new one has, yeah, I’ll probably get it, especially if all those rumors saying it’ll be subsidized to a degree turn out to be true.
