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.

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.
