Ondrej Holzman Millions of people have already bought the iPhone 4S. But all the time, the latest Apple phone is accompanied by battery problems. Users with iOS 5 installed complain that the phone's battery life is significantly lower than it should be. The problem may also concern other models. Apple has now confirmed that it has discovered some bugs in iOS 5 that affect battery life and is working hard on a fix.
There were various instructions circulating on the Internet on how to improve the endurance of iPhones under iOS 5 - the solution was supposed to be, for example, turning off Bluetooth or detecting the time zone - but of course it was not ideal. However, Apple is already working on an operating system update that should solve the problems. This is confirmed by a statement obtained by the server from Apple AllThingsD:
Some users have complained about battery life under iOS 5. We have found several bugs that affect battery life and will release an update in the coming weeks to address the issue.
The just released iOS 5.0.1 beta version confirms that Apple is really working on a fix. It traditionally gets into the hands of developers first, and according to the first reports, iOS 5.0.1 should, in addition to battery life, also fix several errors related to iCloud and enable gestures on the first iPad, which were missing in the first sharp version of iOS 5 and were only available on the iPad 2.
It is not yet clear when iOS 5.0.1 will be available to the public, but it should be a matter of days, weeks at the most.

Great management! For me, the battery on the ip 3GS lasts excellently, but on the ip 4S it's really miserable. I noticed that the usage time is somewhat different than with the 3GS, it shows me many more hours than with the 3GS, for example 13h with the 4S, while I didn't use it as much at all, as it would count the usage time even in standby mode. It shows me normal on 3GS. 4S is probably so intelligent that it can be used by itself :)) Anyway, I'm already looking forward to the update and I believe that the problems will be over.
...this problem also occurs on the 3GS :( ...it has already happened to me twice in the last month that 2% of the battery disappeared in 40 hours... :(
Well, on the 3GS I'm lucky that it didn't happen to me :) But on the 4S the battery drops quickly...
I don't see such a problem on the iP4. It's the other way around - they somehow improved the bluetooth control, so I don't turn it off anymore and it only works when I have paired hf in range, otherwise it seems to be off. I still have Photostream and Wi-Fi turned on, and the "phone" will last two days, with the fact that it might be able to handle it the next morning, but I prefer to charge it daily anyway.
What pleased me the most about this report is the enabled gesture on the iPad 1, I don't understand the only reason why Apple didn't enable it in 5.0. As for battery life, I have an iPhone 4 and I don't see any such problem, and I had the time zone detection according to the position turned on.
