No change for me at all. Combination of (VZW) LTE and wifi, plus BT on full time. No change at all pre/post-6.02.
What you will probably need to do is make a full backup to iTunes or iCloud, restore from DFU (google it). This will put the proper full iOS on your phone and then restore from whatever you backed up to... After this, and only after this, you will be able to judge if 6.0.2 is the culprit

Like I said, haven't done any scientific testing.
so are pretty much all iPhone launches going to be plagued with bugs and then towards the release of the next one all these bugs will be ironed out then replaced with new ones for the next iOS?
The best thing is NOT TO UPDATE, with 6.0.2 the iPhone sees the wifi connection but is not using it at all, it stays on 3g or LTE. On top, if you leave the wi-fi on, the battery will be going down very fast (20 hours for mine). The phone was new, I applied the update on the 18h Dec. - walking out of the store, and still no news on how to fix things. re installing from scratch did not work.
Have you reset your router and then reset the network connections, as some others have turned perceived disaster into success by doing so?
So if you read the posts above yours you will see there are no significant reports of battery problems.
I've noticed that too. It shows it is connected (i.e., icon appears for wifi) but in reality it is NOT connected. I tried "speed Test" app and it was searching for the "nearest server" for over a minute.
This only happens if the screen was "blank" or locked for an extended period of time. If it had been locked only a few minutes (e.g., 5-10), no problem. But as soon as it get over 1 h, the stupid thing shows wi-fi connection with no ACTUAL wi-fi at all!
Idiots at Apple have struck again!

Not necessary, that's just placebo effect.
When you put the device in Device Firmware Upgrade mode. It's lets you interface the device with iTunes before the OS loads.
I never had an issue with battery life. I had the iPhone 4 and iPhone 5 right when it came out. No problems at all. I'm a heavy user with 4 email accounts and all of which use push. I have lots of apps that utilize the device's hardware quite extensively. I have never had any battery life problems.
I've had no battery problems at all. Updating to 6.0.1 made things even better. Updating to 6.0.2 has not noticeably changed anything - still happy with performance.
Is it a major problem, or even a problem at all?
I don't know what everybody else does but I plug my phone in for charging every night. I let it drain completely about once a fortnight and all seams fine with mine.
