Q: iPhone 4s Battery Life?

iPhone 4.  All I can stress is that everything changed after I updated to iOS5.

Suggest you make an appointment to see a Genius at Apple Store. From your feedback, the battery is dead. You need to replace a new battery. Do you have Applecare?

My first "smartphone". I am very disappointed. I had such high expectations for this phone. I only chose the iPhone because I have had an iPod touch for so long and have a lot invested in iTunes library, including APPS. I hated carring both a phone and iPod around and was looking forward to only having one device. Now I still keep my iPod with me in case the phone battery dies, so at least I have all my "to do" lists and reminders. The battery life on this phone is unacceptable. I still have a couple days to consider trading in for Android,and I am SERIOUSLY leaning towards the Droid.

I do not sadly.  I strongly believe that this is the end result of me updating my phone to iOS5 still.  I sound like a broken record I know.  But I'm definitely upset since this seems like it was some what out of my hands.

iPhone 4s Battery is terrible, I charged this morning , battery life was 100% at 7:00am and I havn't really use phone all day. Battery was down up to 33% by 7:00pm. My phone was stand by all day. The first day I used my phone for 1 hour at work and my phone was completely dead by 8:00pm. When this problem will be fix. My old phone 3GS was very good. I need to know how we gonna get this fix.

I think you need to make an appointment and talk with Apple techs. My friends had 4 too and after the update, their phones were fine. They didn't even have the issue of battery drained like of the other users here after updating iOS5 for 4. Try that with them and see if they can help you. This might add into the suspection of software issue. Wish that Apple could have something to fix it soon.

Good luck!

Apple will be releasing an update to the IOS, version 5.0.1, in the upcoming weeks.  From everything I've read online, it should fix the battery life issues.

Until then, try a restore to the factory settings.  It ***** to have to restore your iPhone but once I did it, my battery life reset back to how it should be.

Pretty disappointing as my 3gs has a better battery life.

it is not the phone. it is ios5. apple will release the  5.0.1 update to fix it soon. just look for it in the next two weeks

Just bring it to Apple Store, make appointment to see a Genius, and get it sorted out.

If your phone is less than a year old ... this is the extend of warranty covered --> http://images.apple.com/legal/warranty/docs/iPhone_4_warranty.pdf

PUSH now since my iPhone is pretty stable in prower management at this moment.

Soon ARMv8 will be upon us, and when that happens, you will have full desktop OSes on mobile phones. That means OSX, W8 and Ubuntu (with Unity clearly) and all distros. Which is why they're all "gridizing/appstorizing" their desktops and all.

At this point, I believe Apple and MS should simply open source IOS and WPmango. I mean, they can score big points by doing that - they can impress me and that's important in this life. Apple doesn't have to opensource Siri and such mind you but why not simply opensource the rest. They can still focus on their "experience" and build quality and have the logo and all. Maybe someone can bring IOS to a cheaper smartphone and I can buy it and in the end I end up buying OSX or something like that? As for MS, well, they're already putting WPmango on different smartphones as we speak so why keep that closed? They have some catching up to do and I have to admit I really really like their active tiling thingy aka remnants of "active desktop"... they, like Apple, can make a branded one for people who like to pay more and be hip. Let devs from around the world play with their code and make great forks for the normal people and they can focus on their flagship OS and high end hardware.

I have 4 iPhone 4S's in my family and everyone of them had the battery issues, the battery would be about dead after 6 hours of moderate use. I did some research and diabled the calendar in the notification center, also disabled anything in Locations and Notifications that I didnt use, I have my brightness about 75% and bluetooth running 24 hours. With disabling the things in Location settings and Calendars from notification center all 4 of our 4S's now last the whole day {6am-9pm) with moderate to heavy use. Hope this can help some people, this is just my experience with messing around with settings to figure this battery issue out.

Apperantly there is an issue with something in calendars and the notification center that is causing it to check calendars way to much, if I enable calendars again and nothing else on all 4 phones bammmm battery drops drastically.

Even on ARMv7 Cortex A15 ... Windows8 should be able to run on it (if MS port the OS over to ARM,.. which Intel will strongly protest), albeit on 32bit.

Mac OS X will only be able to run on ARMv8 since its a 64 bit OS. And i believe they would merge iOS with OS X, to become iOSX. Open source?,... not in the life time of Tim, Phil, Scott, Jony, Eddy and the current board.

But ARM technology is slowly but surely encrouching into the territory of the desktop.
