Why don't phone batteries last forever?

Nothing lasts forever. Phone batteries are supplied with a rechargeable battery. This battery has a limited life span. It must be charged to power the phone. As the battery power declines, it discharges the energy contained in the battery. This cycle of charging and recharging the battery for use is not an endless cycle. When purchasing a phone, read the product's battery life. Purchase a battery that has the highest or longest life. This is the best way to make use of your money.

Other ways to conserve power include turning off Wi-Fi and GPS connections and closing open applications when they are not in use.

How can you get your phone to work without a battery?

It can't work without power. (alternate answer) In principle there are a variety of ways to provide a phone with electric power. Of course, the simplest alternative to a battery is to use a land-line which draws current from the wall (I still use one, myself). For a mobile or cell phone, there are other options. You could use a solar power panel (I own a calculator that runs on a small solar panel; calculators don't use a lot of power, they use much less than phones do) or a muscle powered generator that you crank by hand (there exist radios that work by means of a crank). However, if your phone is not built to work that way, it will be difficult to retrofit it to work differently. Tell Apple that you want them to make a solar powered phone for you. But remember, solar power has its limits. You get no solar power at night, for example. A hybrid system, which still uses a battery but which recharges the battery by means of solar power, is more practical.
