Why does the iPhone take so long to start up after it dies?

Am I missing something?


When my iPhone dies completely, I plug it into my MacBook Pro and it takes a solid 7 or 8 minutes before the silver apple shows up and it turns on. Whenever I push the home button, the drained battery icon shows.


Is this normal? The same thing happens with my iPad, so I'm guessing it is...really *****.

iPhone 4S, iOS 5.0.1, White, 32GB
