Thanks about the info on how old the video is! I've read all the info on battery life:

Anyway, after flicking through that faq i'm not so worried.
Main thing to do is to just not worry and when the disaster does happen (if it does) to just replace it. There is a new apple shop opening up near me so I'll just take it there if any problems occur...
Thanks!
