iPhone Beta 3 Battery Drain Mega Poll

[JohnnyW2001]

Simple poll on battery drain in Beta 3.

Are you seeing a significant loss in battery life since upgrading?

Don't worry, you can't fail this.

Haven't had any issues on my iphone 5 running OTA B3.

I went from 100% to 50% in about 5 hours and I was using it pretty heavily

 

[Hbs2018]

on iPhone 4S with OTA it is working fine!

 

[JohnnyW2001]

Nice to see that most people aren't having any issues.

The amount/length of options discourages people from voting...

Doesn't seem too complicated to me...

Yup.

A simple

1. Yes Battery drain
2. No Battery drain

would have sufficed.

By the time I got to option 13 I had forgotten what option 1 was!

For being computer "geeks", some of you aren't very bright if you can't even read a poll which is grouped by phone model and gives you simple yes or no answers.

Who described themselves as a computer 'geek'?

My battery life is better.

"Simple"?

Took me a while to read

Edit: My eyes hurt from this ghastly font - gave up. Maybe you could do a poll on the readability of this poll?

 

[JohnnyW2001]

Yup.

A simple

1. Yes Battery drain
2. No Battery drain

would have sufficed.

Actually it wouldn't.

I've got to say, it's a pretty simple poll. I'm amazed that so many people are having difficulty understanding it.

The answer seems to be an overwhelming no.

 

[batting1000]

Wasn't sure what to answer. I'm not seeing a significant battery drain but my battery is not as good as it was on iOS 6.

 

[boshii]

I see no option for my 5S.

 

[martinocando]

After almost 11 hours of standby, and over 4 hours of usage, I still have 43%. Not even close to iOS6 performance. By this time, I would be going home, and using my laptop recharge USB port to get some juice for the night.

I think I can reach bedtime without putting it on the charger. Let's see how much remains after workout.

So, in a word: STELLAR!!!

Actually, the poll is not simple, it requires careful reading of each option, which are very similar looking, and are unnecessarily long.
Trust me, you would have gotten more votes if you had simply shortened the options or just made an "I do not have significant battery drain" option that covers all phones. Also the Yes! and No! were not necessary and stagger the poll .

I had to really concentrate but I found my answer. I noticed a big improvement from beta 2 to beta 3. I’m now getting close to what I got in iOS 6. Beta 2 I would usually be below 50% by this time of the day. I’m at 76% right now so that's a big improvement for me. I might do a restore as new for the GM just to make sure there is no problems but OTA updates have been working for me on all the betas so far.
