All those problems with evaporating iPhone batteries? Looks like it’s not the hardware’s fault — Apple’s ‘fessing up to a buggy iOS 5 release that’s sucking more juice than it should, The Loop reports.
Apple confirmed the problem in a message to The Loop, stating “A small number of customers have reported lower than expected battery life on iOS 5 devices. We have found a few bugs that are affecting battery life and we will release a software update to address those in a few weeks.”
Looks to us like it’s more than “a small number of customers,” but either way, we hope the battery-fixing update arrives ASAP. I’ve got so many stupid Siri video ideas I need to execute! [The Loop]

The iPhone 4S Battery Problem Is Probably Not Because of Faulty Hardware
That’s a pretty good and quick admittance of a problem, such that we’ve never seen before (i.e. aerial, screen colour etc.) Mayeb Jobs copping it was a good thing for consumers.
But those other things were not actual problems. They were just people’s perceptions which were wrong because they were not using their phones properly. This battery ‘problem’ isn’t really a problem either. It is just that some people want to use their phone for silly things like having it automate the settings, and sync properly with accounts.
Sounds like a media conspiracy to try and corrupt the memory of Steve Jobs, just like his biography, so conveniently released just weeks after he died and can no longer defend himself!
