Users are reporting a significant improvement in battery life after installing iOS 5.1, according to a thread on reddit.
"I thought they were making BS claims, but after a few days I can honestly say that yes... I've seen a dramatic improvement on the life of the battery. Kudos to the power saving iOS devs," writes ruffyamaharyder.
Other users have chimed in with impressive numbers:
"Currently at Usage 7 Hours, 46 minutes, Standby 3 Days, 20 Hours..with 17% left in the battery.. Was at 100% when I did the 5.1 update.." [Trizlo]
"Since my last charge after updating, I went from 100% battery to 40% (when I decided to charge it) on 5 hours of usage and 51 hours of standby." [zinger2112]
If you've updated to iOS 5.1, let us know if you've noticed a difference in battery life.
Can you give some examples please? I have an new 4s and I'm concern about my battery. I used in the past for 3 years an iPhone 3G and it was better that this new one. I have now 2h 23 m out of 4h09m usage with 40% left . Any advice?
Yes my battery life has improved drastically. Specially the network setting which enables users to turn off 3G is really good and I happy to see it back is iOS 5.1
My iPhone 4S is still shitty when it comes to battery life.. After 2 hour of usage (light usage, no draining games) and 5 hours of standby I'm down to 65 % left.. Will it help if I restore and start over without the backup file..? Or do I have to send it away on warranty repair..?
I have the same good experience, even i tested to turn off the 3G (iphone 4s) overnight and when i woke up supriselly the baterry was still at 100% as when i felt asleep.
Good job Apple :)
Yes I've seen a very significant better battery life. I would need to charge it at least once during the day but now I can take it off the charger early in the a.m n not charge until the next full day.
