With only 11 more sleeps till the iPhone arrives in the U.S., Apple's Steve Jobs is letting us know why it's a "truly magical product."

There are no spells or rabbits emerging from its nine-centimetre screen - but its got a great battery.

Monday's announcement touts the capacity of the phone's power pack eight hours to talk, six hours to surf, seven hours of video watching or 24 hours of audio.

Apple also revealed that plastic is out and glass is in. Optical-quality glass (as seen in crystal balls?) is supposed to reduce scratches and give a clearer view.

The phone-MP3 player-web browser, which works with PCs and Mac computers, goes on sale in the U.S. June 29, with a $499 US price tag on the 4 GB model and $599 US on the 8 GB version.
