Battery Bug

Wirelessinfo.com got Apple to admit that there is a glitch in the battery indicator of the iPhone, essentially telling users that the battery isn’t fully charged yet while in fact it’s already topped up.

In their blog survey, at least 60% of the respondents said that their units were kinda wonky in this department, so the folk behind the blog contacted Apple PR about this. According to the site, Apple told them: “Your battery is fully charged, but the UI (User Interface) is just not correctly reflecting this. We expect to fix this in a software update.”

I’ve had laptop batteries from Apple with this problem, despite proper care and conditioning. Ah well.

(BTW, nice battery label, ain’t it?)
