Then leave... take you business anywhere you feel it will be valued.

This is a user to user technical support forum, Apple never responds here.

With EVERY iOS update there is a group of users that report dramatically decreased battery life.

With EVERY iOS update there is a group of users that report improved battery life.

With EVERY iOS update the vast majority of users see no noticable difference in battery life.

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

Frankly, it is virtually impossible to say the day after an iOS update was released that the update caused battery issues. There simply are not enough people that have installed it and it hasn't been given enough time to prove that the update is the issue.

I never said anyone should switch. They asked if they should.

I simply stated "take you business anywhere you feel it will be valued." A little reading comprehension goes a long way.

Ah.... I see. My apologies if my remarks came across as rude.

I collected most of the solutions that have worked for people here. I definitely had the same thing on my iphone 5 and for me the problem was push email. Setting that to "Fetch" worked for me but different things for different people. Brought my battery life from 2-3 hours back to a full day with no problems, and phone was no longer hot.

And there's always lots of ways to reduce your battery usage in general.

But I do also agree that Apple mightve dropped the ball on this one. It seems like an unusually high number of people were affected by this bug during the update.

Thank you for your excellent and detailed instructions! I was getting really frustrated with the battery drainage on my 4S since the upgarde to iOS6.1.2 and then 6.1.3, but following your clear and detailed instructions appears to have fixed the problem. Thanks!

Hi, I must desactivate the push option in email settings?? By other; do you know how can I do for my wi-fi connection work?? I followed an example from JYW76 that put my iphone in a ziplock bag and get into yhe freezer by one hour. It really works, but only for few minutes. It`s Incredible that Apple don`t solve this problem of a faster effective way. I forgot to mention that a lost my siri application with the update 6.1.3 y my battery getting hot

My dear friends in trouble, I just like you are faced with this problem (only iPad) IBP after my upgrade was discharged at an incredible rate, even IOS 6.1.2 is not so much how much spending eats IOS 6.1.3. I hope that this will fix problemmu shortly. Are you Apple Inc. Rating, so difficult to release a normal IOS 6? I believe in you and I'll be happy if I do not have transitions on android.

Any Samsung would drain battery even faster than IPhone 4s or 5. I think it's matter of the software. Next update will fix it I hope. IOS operating sytem is undoubtly more efficient than the latest Android operating system because IOS was specifically designed for Apple hardware and Android wasn't. To be concise- Android enviroment drains battery much faster than IOS.😎😎
