I understand its still day 1, and that people won't know their battery situations for a few days, but I wanted to at least start a thread so people can discuss what they are seeing.
I haven't updated yet because I have never had more amazing battery life on my phone, I average about 10 hours of usage and 30 hours of standby with moderate usage. My iPhone 4S was barely 5 hrs usage and 10 hrs standby, so I am hesitant to update just yet.
Basically I average about 1 hour usage per 10 percent battery burned.
So when you start getting a feel for the battery life in 6.01, feel free to share, I am sure I am not the only one who is waiting to update...Thanks.
This was already mentioned in previous threads, but...
Have any of you tried turning off "Set Automatically" in Date & Time?
I'm fairly certain there is a glitch within that area as when I turned mine off my battery life was/is substantially better.

Goto settings and click on icloud. Scroll down to safari and stop icloud from syncing safari and tell it to delete any information stored on your phone. Once that is done slide it back if you want. Poof battery problem fixed. With the upgrade of iOS6 there is an errorlog between safari and icloud that gets stuck in a loop...this causes it to constantly run and stream between your phone and the cloud...hence draining your battery like you are constantly downloading and uploading non-stop. By deleting the safari files you clear the log and fix the problem....it takes literally 1.5 minutes to fix...spread the word...
This does not affect everyone as everyones log does not get jacked up in the upgrade....BUT...for those of us that it did, we know turning off location services, etc is not gonna fix that kind of drain...I was draining 10% life an hour and my phone was smokin hot!! slide the bar, erase the files, clear the log, all better.

mine was set to off and still issues. I notice that on wifi the new 6.01 battery life seems to hold and is fine. However, on LTE, its like watching a clock tick down on battery bar. what else is new with these updates
yeh my battery is killer after that drain down to 0%.
may actually be better than 5.x.x or whatever the last good firmware was.
