“‘Nope,’ reads Jobs’ reply,” MacNN reports.

As for battery issues, I have not seen any on my 3G, however, I have noticed my phone is much more sluggish.
What battery drain issue?
My old 3GS battery life improved. I gave it to a buddy of mine and he even mentioned he could go all day with it in comparison to his old 3G.
this is headline news?
I upgraded my iPhone 3G (not S) to 4.0 and have not seen any difference in battery life – neither better nor worse. Of course I’m not multi-tasking so really the only benefit has been the app folders!! Love em
Mine is better.
Mine too. Battery is ok but games run very sluggish. Angry birds runs but will stop and start
I upgraded my iPod touch and it is always dead. I had it connected for the last 2 days, ejected it and went to work. I just tried to turn it on 4.5 hours after disconnecting it and the battery is dead. The last time I tried to use it, the battery was dead as was the time before that, all since I upgraded it to v4.
It hasn’t been used since the upgrade since I have an iPad and have been playing with that.
It appears there is a battery drain issue.
I honestly have not noticed any significant battery drain difference since upgrading to iOS4 on my 3GS, even with several apps running.
Well, I am still waiting for my iPhone for while using my 3G but would surmise that the more apps there are running in the background on any iPhone the more the battery will be called upon.
Just who is this idiot in Norway – any expertise other than ability to use a keyboard?
It was well worth upgrading to the iPhone 4, because my battery life is SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER on the iPhone 4. I can now go 2 full days without a charge. Amazing!!
Mine is better, too…..
It happened to my 3G after upgraded a week ago. However, it only happened once since the upgrade. Never been able to replicate it since then.
I haven’t noticed any unusual battery drain on my 3Gs since updating to iOS4, but I have seen some sluggishness if I have a lot of apps residing in the multitasking bar. Yeah, I know… most of them aren’t really running there in the background, but wiping everything off that list does resolve the sluggishness.
I noticed my Samsung’s phone battery life got worse when my wife upgraded her iPhone.
I should e-mail Steve…..
This link to Roughly Darfted has some info on improving iPhone 3G performance.

My 3GS/iOS4 runs snappily, but battery life has taken a big hit.
My wife’s iPhone 3G will stay in 3.X. The advantages that 4.0 bring to the table are simply to meager balanced against it’s disadvantages. If you think about it, they made it compatible enough, but it is truly optimized for the new hardware.
Haven’t noticed battery drain but my 3G but it definitely doesn’t like iOS4…it’s slow and glitchy now. Good thing I’m upgrading.
My 3GS runs out of battery considerably faster after upgrading to iOS 4. Trying to rationalize my usage now.
I’ve seen no difference whatsoever. If the guy is having battery problems since updating to iOS4, he needs to simply do a full restore then.
what battery drain “issue”?? no problem here, 3GS w/iOS4 – battery life at least same as before
BTW, I’m waiting to see someone send an email to Steve Jobs that goes like this:
“Steve, are these email replies popping up all over the internet REALLY from you?”
to which he answers:
“Nope.”
Just wait…Apple will release a software fix to make the battery icon larger as it decreases in power, to better reflect the actual size of the battery.
My 3G battery had noticeably worse performance after an iOS upgrade. However, my wife has had no problems with her 3GS.
Okay, I am this >< close to believing that almost everyone in the world is fucking retarded. What’s next? “Did Steve Jobs know that iPhone 3GS cases don’t fit the iPhone 4?” “Did Steve Jobs know that his new iPhone 4 requires a new OS?” “Did Steve Jobs know that the new screen doesn’t let you see the pixels at 12″?”
Where was all this hysteria when Microsoft was ushering in the Dark Ages of computing? Where was the non-stop worldwide assault on Microsoft for ushering in the age of viruses, trojans, malware and botnets?
In the words of Ellen Ripley “Did IQs drop sharply while I was away?”
I sent an e-mail to Jobs awhile back and got no response. Apparently I’m in the minority.
