iPhone customers plagued by battery life woes have been expecting iOS 5.1 like the second coming, but has it fixed the problem?
Although there are arguably fewer complaints now than there were when iOS 5 was released, it appears that iOS 5.1 still hasn’t resolved the problem for some users.
Here’s one concerned customer asking fellow Apple fans if they are having a similar experience:
“Hello, after having the feeling the Battery is sucked out by the new iOS, the problem is still there in 5.0.1. And now in 5.1 its getting more worse. Even my girlfriend mentiond it. So i am carefully asking the community: Are you experiencing the same batterydrain that was mentioned before, but now even worse than before?”
The release notes for iOS 5.1 specifically stated that the new software update “addresses bugs affecting battery life.”
This doesn’t mean it can fix the issue for every device configuration out there. And it appears it didn’t.
“I'm glad to see someone else posting this,” wrote another disappointed customer on the same thread as the person quoted above. “I've had no problems with my 4s until this morning when I did the new upgrade.”
This person explains that, “In less than 5 hours at work, I went from 80% to 15% and that was just a little web use on Wi-Fi. I always keep bluetooth off and most location services turned off as well.”
The customer asserts that, “If this was considered a ‘fix’ someone needs their head examined.” He adds: “I also saw something weird as heck too - a 4g sign up where the wireless indicator is at.”
The 4G thing is a known feature with iOS 5.1 - not an issue. It suggests that the iPhone 4S is 4G-compatible when, in reality, this has to do with a controversial marketing approach by wireless operator AT&T in the United States.
