My iPhone 4S battery life is terrible, Even with iOS 6.1.1

Hi Apple Users


I'm on my 6th 4S handset since summer 2012! Last night (11/2) I updated my phone with iOS 6.1.1 and the battery life is worse than ever before! All apps are fully closed down, Wifi/Bluetooth are turned off! Screen brightness is down to 18%. I've no e-mail accounts set up! Location services are switched off

iPhone 4S, iOS 6.1

After seeing my colleagues iphone battery issues, I never buy iPhone, only iPads of which I bought two. I refuse to upgrade to iOS 7 and my iPads work fine with good battery life. Apple is not interested in improving their batteries. They just want customers to buy a new phone every year or two. Btw I use Samsung phones which allows customer to change to new batteries and Sony xperia with excellent battery life.
