Q: How long does your iphone battery last in China?

I was thinking about getting an iphone 5. At home I don't even carry a phone usually. I had a LG 3D phone, but I would often use 3 batteries in a day- translator. Does an iphone battery last enough for you?

Those things can be recharged. I have a samsung galaxy but it works the same way as an iphone. You don't need to replace the battery you just need to recharge it with your charger. 

 

Ha ha, I said: "iphone"!

TedDBayer:

wrong answer again. who wants to wait for it to recharge, I need it to last all day or be able to change the battery, again you miss the point.

Actually, I bought a cheap phone in China more than 4 years ago, and it is still working fine.  was surprised, given the short life of most Chinese products.

The missus has a Xiaomi 2A, she is a pretty heavy user both talking and WeChatting. Her phone usually lasts the day. But when ordering from the Xiaomi factory web site you can add some accessory packages, and get an extra battery and external charger for pretty cheap money. 

Don't be an Apple sucker, get a cheap China phone instead, you can do the same stuff on it (and companies like Xiaomi are helpful in getting Google Play installed)

The iPhone battery is about the same size (1700ghzyz or whatever) as the battery on my 800 RMB Moto, but I don't use the internet at all. Most iPhone users carry their chargers because the battery won't last a day using the net. iPhone battery replacement costs $100, that's why you see people with those funny battery boosters. 

Get a Galaxy or this Samsung Style - that's what I have. Buy the extra battery and charger and you're good. Around 2,000 RMB. Ask a Chinese friend to help you set it up with Wechat and so on.

I might get an iPhone with a service plan just for kicks and because the plan makes the phone dirt cheap but if I'm paying money I buy Moto or Samsung. 

Just another opinion ...

is there a place online to check for iphone service plans?

It depends on whether I am listening to music/ watching tv/calling. If it's just normal use, every two days is fine. If you are watching videos or using the web then it drains the power really quickly.

I would go through 2 or 3 batteries in my LG 3D a day. I bought another because I like the big screen, but its heavy, so was thinking iphone, but chuck it. I don't need to buy an iphone 5 only to have it lost in China, like my other 4 phones.

Just purchase the mobile adapter that charges the phone during the day and you can recharge the portable adapter whilst at home, I agree with nichol, my wife also has the sony xperia, outstanding battery life.wink

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
