World: Where’s our 3G? Also, GPS.
Steve Jobs: Well, 3G chipsets would kill the battery life.
World: Oh, bullshit.
(Setting: Mid-2008.)
Steve Jobs: Due to popular request, our new iPhone will have 3G! Also, GPS.
World: Awesome.
(Time passes.)
World: Hey, what’s up with the battery life?
See my previous comment – battery life is worse on 1.0 iPhones, too. I skipped the 3G/GPS craze (in large part due to the total incompetence of AT&T staff – they don’t even know their own plans), and my old iPhone has significantly reduced battery life since 2.0 – even if I use it only as a phone.

This gives me hope; maybe 2.0.1 will fix it.

I’d like to nominate this for blog posting of the year. Hilarious — and true!
