Story does sound a little fishy. No way an iPhone battery could last that long .

My iphone lasts like 12 hours if I'm messing around with it. So unless he had extra batteries or something I call bs.

I'm amazed he had cell service. If he shut wifi, Bluetooth, and the antena off it think it could last that long easilly but it didn't sound like that was the case. He'd be lucky to get two days.

My Blackberry never lasted that long.
Sandy got about 2-3 days and I was lucky if it lasted a day.
