Bad battery on Iphone 4 with IOS 5.0.1

[theadvocate_ivan]

Anybody experience bad battery life?

I also have the iphone 4s and before the update i could really see the difference in battery life wherein the iphone 4 is longer over the 4s. Now, they are pretty much the same (i have to charge daily). I charged last night (it was 100% at midnight so i unplugged it) now it is at 88%.

Please share your experiences. Thanks!

Ivan,

Comparing my iPhone 4 (now with my wife) and my 4S, I can definitely say that the 4 has better battery life than the 4S.

When on standby, both have the same battery consumption. But when used, the 4S drains faster by about 30-50% depending on the activity (games, youtube, surfing, etc.)

Both are on 5.0.1.

Now if your iPhone 4 was on standby for 8 hours and it drained 12%, that's not normal.

Good luck!
