Apple has just announced some last moment news that can only be classified as a shocker. The iPhone will now apparently come to the market with an enhanced battery life of 8 hours, as opposed to the January news announcement of only 5 hours. This is very interesting considering its better than contenders like the Nokia N95, which sports talk time of only 4 hours. Apart from talk time, as you may have already guessed, the enhanced battery life jazzes up all other aspects of phone operation too, including standby and audio playback time.The full press release can be found here.
