Carrying this iPhone is already enough of a burden.

Now, I know how Mr. Frodo felt.

As one of my staff said when I was given the iPhone, "That scowl on your face reminds me of someone being handed a bag of dog poop. You'd think you were allergic to it."

Power loss over time
Is there significant power loss over the life of a car the more mileage that you put on it? Or is it pretty negligible?

With proper maintenance and normal driving conditions it should be negligible. But if the owner is going 30,000 miles on an oil change (I saw it happen all the time back when I worked at a Valvoline Instant oil Change one summer). Power loss is caused by multiple variables (carbon build up, gummed valves, dirty O2's, old plugs) mainly blow by/low compression.
