iOS 6.0.1 - HORRIBLE battery life after upgrage

Since upgrading to 6.0.1 (iPhone 4S) my phone battery drains significantly faster than before. I also have a handful of co-workers/friends who concur that battery life is horrible since the upgrade. They have iPhone 4 and 4S.


Anyone else?

thanks for your advice! the battery life on my iPad is back to normal!

Right now its battery is on 55%, and it shows Usage: 5 hours, 38 minutes and Standby: 16 hours, 42 minutes.

It was using LTE most of the time today, and I made two skype calls from it (1 hour each), besides from my usual activity on it.


My iPhone... almost. It's not as bad as last night, but it's definitely not as good as before.

Right now it shows 10%. Usage: 5 hours, 15 minutes. Standby: 1 day, 16 hours.

It's much better now, but it used to give me at least 7 hours and 30 minutes of usage, with standby around the same.

same here......phone wrked great for 6 weeks using 6.0.1, then suddenly started draining.


going to give the complete shutdown for 5 min/ complete drain/ complete charge/ complete drain/ complete charge a shot and see what happens......then it's time to start deleting apps.


sound like apple doesn't have an answer right now....but I do know it was working great for awhile


maybe its one of their planned obsolescence tools run amok

You know what ? I was discussing with a friend earlier today, telling him that my confidence in Apple products is fading away as fast as my iPhone battery life with this crappy 6.01 update.



We are now thinking choosing an Android device next year to replace these defective devices that continue to be plagued with battery issue, which, for a short time, seems to be chose du passé.


Now I have now to charge my iPhone twice a days, before I couldn't care less about charging my iPhone 4S, this week, it drain completely twice, without notice.


How can Apple bring back this bug in the 6.01 update is a shame.
