iOS 6 on 3GS Dismal Battery Life
Since updating to iOS 6 last week, my 3GS has turned into a mess. Battery life has gone from quite good to dismal. I have tried to figure out why the battery is going flat within just a few hours with minimal use, where on 5.1.1 it lasted for days.
Many of the so called features of iOS 6 have been stripped back to minimal or no value at all. Maps does not include 3D on the 3GS and it is certainly not near as good as Google Maps was. ViIP in email does not appear to work properly. There are a myriad of other issues, but the main issue is battery life is absolutely a mess.
Can I move this back to 5.1.1? Apple Genius said they could not revert it for me and would only offer to sell me a new 3GS which they say still has 5.1.1 on it, but I am not sure if that will allow me to get my applications on it and keep the old system software. I tried to restore back to 5.1.1, but it would not allow me to go backwards.
iOS 6 is a mess on the 3GS. Please offer help. I really regret this update big time.
