I'm curious who DOESN'T have 4s battery issues?

I have a 4s and the battery is fine. This is my first iPhone so I don't have a good comparison. But I easily get an entire day with everything on an moderate usage. Last night the battery drop 2% in standby which I find more then reasonable.

I'm curious if this is more of a rogue app rather then the phone. Why wouldn't I have any issues but so many others do?

The 5.0.1 iOS update solved the vast majority of 4S battery problems. I had issues with mine prior to the update, but now all is well.

I'm able to go through a whole day with one charge. I use it probably more on the heavier side. But, when I'm home, I am near Wi-Fi. That tends to save a little more battery compared to 3G.
 
When I first got my iPhone and I was using it all day long I had to charge it by afternoon or evening... But now that I'm using it normally and not excessively the battery lasts me to the end of the day easily. When I go to bed there's still a good 30 or 40% left 🙂
