Thank for your input!! I hope apple fixes this battery issue soon.... I'm about to give up on apple lol! If I want bad battery life I can get an android with better features!!
I don't notice any changes in battery life so far, but then again I manually close opened apps in the multitasking bar at least once a day.
My battery keeps draining even though my iphone 4 is plugged in. And it's draining quickly!
Thank braid 123 I do the same with mine. Only time and use will tell! :)
Yes something is massively eating battery life in 6.0. I have a 4S, and I had great battery life. 8AM-5PM workday and I would have 50%+ life left.
I just upgraded to 6.0 last night and charged overnight....it is 2:20PM and I have 9% battery left without even touching my phone more than a few times today. I literally just watched the phone go from 15% to 9% in the last 10 minutes.
Yes. I'm having issues as well. I had battery issues before iOS 6 and it hasn't gotten any better and possibly a bit worse. It really ****** me off because Apple stated that iOS 6 was supposed to improve battery life. I've seen the same thing with my MacBook Air after the last two software updates.
I had the same issue and noticed that my GPS was still on, after exiting the Maps app. A simple reboot of the phone solved the issue and battery drain.
Ok kool thanks for the advice. I'll try rebooting my iPhone :)
I have an iphone 4. Similar problems. Check Settings/Privacy/Location Services/System Services (scroll to the bottom) ios6 turned these all on for me. I turned off Genius for Apps, Location-Based iAds, Traffic, and Maps from Location Services. Also check Settings/General/Cellular, I turned off iTunes, Passbook Updates, & Reading List. Also reboot your phone (turn it off/on). My battery life has seemed to improve. Try turning the need ones on (one at a time) and see how it affects battery life.
I'm suffering the same problem today. Put my phone on charge last night and woke up to find it at only 75%. Before I left the office it was dead but no iOS 6 for me, just some app updates that stated they included 6 support. Same deal on my iPad too!
hi thanx for the info but all these i tried yesterday only but no good outcome.i think hv to wait for new patch for this
Yes, Rapid battery drain. iPhone 4 updated to iOS6 over the air today. By noon, a fully charged battery was down to 12%, with only a couple of emails and two brief phone calls. On a normal day, I would be down to about 70%.
Same here. Significant issues with the battery. Have done a factory reset and let the battery fully drain.
Am going to run it with mobile data (cellular data in US).
Love new stuff.
Hate the sucky outcome.

Same here. My battery is dropping by the minute. It dyed 3 times from this morning to about 2pm. Turned off location services and rebooted but didn't do anything. I guess I have to reinstall ios5.+. This is ridiculous.
