Is my phone bugged?

Edited to add: The iPhone not having a user-replaceable battery can be brought down to a single word. Profit. Oddly enough, batteries tend to start going usually in that one year range. Funny enough, that's about on par with Apple's development cycle. It also means that if your average Joe Consumer wants a new battery, where does he go? You got it. Apple.

whether its for profit....control....or both...the fact remains, you cannot turn your iPhone off at will. you can only put it in a suspend mode.

the only way to get it to stop operating is to let the battery fully die. and even then they may be programmed to "die" before they are actually "dead".

i know my motorola will turn on and go through its initialization sequence several times before it wont turn on anymore, after it has already "died".
