  1. ….is any one else still having issues with battery from current install .. After last update I went from four to five hours on 4s to at the max 2 hours and that’s with iCloud turned off … But I don’t mind as my plug is always near (-: just as my iPhone is always in hand …

    1. I am having issues like this. I’ve documented it over a month with screenshots of the usage meter, my battery percentage and current time of day.

      I am hoping this will be enough evidence for the Genius bar to replace my phone, as I am not getting more than 4 hours on a full charge. I DO use iCloud. 😮

  2. I for one am getting my camping gear ready so I can be first in line at the Apple store. I am so sure they have the date right.
    Oh, and Powers, my 4S is working just fine and so is my iPad 2, same as they have since day one.

  3. Yep Powers, I’m noticing the same issues. Tried to figure out if I had anything else running, but definitely getting way less battery life. I even turn Bluetooth off. Love the 4s though & I’m also fortunate to be around power all day.
