Apple fixes iPhone 4S battery problem

Title seems a little misguided. The problem was not just affecting 4S users but any iDevices that was running iOS 5.

I also suffered from the battery issue on my iPhone 4.

The software update, iOS 5.0.1 also adds multi-tasking gestures to early versions of the iPad and closes a security loophole that could have duped users into loading malware onto their iPhones and iPads through Apple’s App Store.

I thought Crapple didn't have any malware in their app store due to them controlling everything so tightly. Oh wait, the controlling was about money not malware.
 
I never noticed any drop in battery performance with my iPhone 4 on iOS 5, neither the iPad or iPhone 3GS for that matter.

But this morning, some users claim the so-called “battery life fix” hasn’t rectified their troubles—and for a few, it may have made the situation worse.

Apple released an updated version of its latest operating system Thursday, promising to fix the battery problems users had reported with iOS 5 — but apparently it’s no magic potion.
