A device a year old it is assumed, has been used for the past year; so longevity is that advanced at that point. But it takes a while for it to become an issue, and you will probably have traded it in before that. I've not got into batterie issues yet, even with a 3GS, but I didn't keep it that long. Folks who buy end'of'the'road stuff for under $100, expect its remaining term to be limited.

Should I consider that battery older or more used up, than if I purchase an iPad mini / retina brand new? Is this something that should be a big deal? Thanks, biggest bang for my buck, don'tcha know. ;) Traci -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list. All new members to the this list are moderated by default.
