Alot of people I see are getting really worried about the standby battery life:
"ZOMG the standby battery life dropped from 300 hours on the iPhone 4 to only 200 hours on the iPhone 4s!!! That is a 50% drop in battery life! My phone is in standby alot of the time and will drain like crazy now!
"
To which I say: Do the math
Lets use the new 200 hour standby battery life calculation for this as well:
100% battery life
---Divided by---
200 hours of total standby
----Equals---
___________________________________________________________________________________________
A loss of 0.5% per hour while in standby(and in 200 hours it will be drained)... Compared to a loss of 0.33% per hour with an iPhone 4 while in standby
So now lets calculate it for a regular day
16 hours working (since hopefully you sleep 8 hours a day)
---Times---
0.5% standby battery loss per hour
---Equals---
____________________________________________________________________________________________
A loss of 8% while on standby for the entire day... Compared to a loss of 5.5% on your iPhone 4 *Gasp*
So an extra 2.5% loss in standby battery life per day... and why are you freaking out again?
Doesn't seem that big a deal anymore now does it?
