I bought my iPhone on the first day it was released. That was June 29, 2007 — well over a year ago. The battery still works well — usually lasting a full day under normal use. But if it’s taken to areas with weak cell coverage, and used extensively for maps, traffic, email, news, and so forth, it can run out pretty quickly. So it’s very nice that the MacBook Pro (and, I believe, any Mac) supports charging via USB when the computer is in sleep mode. On most PCs I’ve used, the USB ports get no power when the computer is asleep.
