iPhone 4s Battery Life?

Somebody made update to 5.0.1 on iPhone 4 , not 4S?!!! Did the new os improve battery life on 4 ???

"A little of both" - "Off and on."

lollllll

lolll

loll

Well, don't forget the phone is rated for 10 hrs video, 40 hrs audio so who knows, maybe it's 20hrs video with no sound lolllll. One could also try "slow motion playback" to see how much "usage" one can get out of that lollll.

I see no difference from 5.0. Still terrible battery life. 1 hour oh usage = 79%. Unhappy. 😟

Guys, why apple, dont answering to us?

they are scared.

I'm trying to mimic the average usage to what I use at work.

I listen to podcasts for hours.

Before the 5.0.0 update, I would go for about 8 hours and get from 100% to 75-85% on my 3GS.

After the update, I would go from 100% to about 20% in the 3GS.

Big difference; which is why I believe it's the software update causing the battery issue, and not the iPhone 4S itself.

The iOS 5.0.1 update has been released. You can update to it now so you can fix the battery problems

Hate to say it, but I'm registering to add to the above comments -

Battery life was pretty bad on the 5.0

Worse... MUCH worse now on 5.0.1

My best guess is it's the dual antenna, and switching from WIFI to cellular data... iPhone seems to get hung up when neither signal is particularly strong... Anyway - I watched the battery percentage literally count down as I simply surfed basic websites after updating.... Lost 60% total battery in a five hour shift of walking around one small building with the phone in my pocket.

Add me to the list please...

I can confirm this! I'm having battery issues too and they got worse with the update... Lost 14% in not even 2 hours...

And I'm also having some Antenna issues now! My iPhone 4S could not find any signal until I restarted it, then it worked for 5 minutes and the signal was lost again... I had to deactivate my PIN to get the network working properly.

I think this is related, the new antenna is buggy and draining the new iPhone 4S to death... I'm going back to the store and have it changed.

You're just about 12 hours late on the news friend 😉

Got my 4s in the mail 2 days ago, updated it and Iv'e gotten this so far

At 40%

4 hours and 43 usage

7 hours and 6 minutes standby.

3gs has been turned off and everything else too location and things like that

been texting, playing some apps and saw a 4 minute video and surfed the net for like 10 minutes.

So I gather you're saying your podcasts have no sound. I find your methodology a bit weird, but whatever floats your boat mate 🙂

Another +1 for 5.0.1 making no positive difference at all :(

Apple - you're making it very difficult to love you.

I updated last night (UK) and it didn't fix anything. Losing 6% / hr in standby which is the same as with 5.0. May go back to my Iphone 4 which is losing maybe 1%/hr. Return the 4s and wait until they sort this out or there will always be an Iphone 5. Would be the first Apple product I ever returned

I installed IOS 5.0.1, did a restore then charged my phone to 100%. Put on pandora let it play for an hour only dropped 9%. I suggest people to do a restore after installing IOS 5.0.1, pretty happy as of right now. I'll post a screen shot at 1% battery left to show usage.

I am still using an iPhone 4.

After updating to iOS 5.0, I did notice worse battery life, but the difference was not significant.

I updated to iOS 5.0.1 last night, charged the phone for 5 hours and after 3 hours standby, it still shows 100%.

I have to say I check my e-mail manually (push is disabled) and activate BT and WIFI only when needed. Location based services are enabled (Maps, Compass, Google Earth, Google Places, Apple Store.....) but don't use them much.

WhatsApp is always enabled.
