iOS 5.0.1 Update Doesn’t Fix iPhone 4S Battery Issues
Since the release of the iPhone 4S there have been reports of substandard battery life. Apple committed to coming out with a fix and this past week they did. iOS 5.0.1 arrived with the promise of fixing the issue, but it didn’t take long for reports that the update doesn’t completely address the problem. Apple for their part had this to say:
“The recent iOS software update addressed many of the battery issues that some customers experienced on their iOS 5 devices,” the company said in a statement given to AllThingsD. “We continue to investigate a few remaining issues.”
So a full fix is still in the cards and iPhone 4S users will have to wait for their problems to be fully addressed.
I bet the fanbois are not happy right now.

It worked much better for me. On my 3GS (now just an iPod) I lose about 2% per day. It was 5% per hour before. My 4S was not bad, and is now again much better. It had on a few occassions in the short time I have had it, got really hot when no apps were running.
So, they may not have completely fixed it, there may have been more than one problem.
