How much battery life loss are we talking about? I personally want it for functionality.
Wiggle room, it should take up a total of about 990 mb depending on your device. But the current ios 6 takes up about 850 mb, so it's onl adding ~130 mb.
Just a tip: You shouldn't run your phone so full; you should have at least a few hundred megs free. Running a full phone can cause subtle problems and errors.
I suggest trimming it back a bit; find some apps you don't use to delete.

It depends on the tweaks that you install. For example lock info, DRAINS YOUR BATTERY. But if you don't use tweaks that are constantly updating/running, you won't see much of a change.
Gmail exchange has worked perfectly fine for me as well except for slow clearing of unread email count. With 6.1 it updates the count again instantly.
Has anyone updated to iOS 6.1 on their iPhone 4S and or iPad 4? How's it holding up so far? Any hindrance on performance, reduction in speed, etc.?
Who buys a 16 GB phone? Rule of thumb, always buy the middle version of anything (not the smallest, nor the largest). That way you don't pay the most, nor pay the least. Pay the middle. All's good.
Popcorn at movie -- medium please. No I don't want to pay another $.25 for the large.
I doubt its luck. The links you provided stated Verizon had some issues, but those using GSM did not experience it...Lots of GSM phones out there; masses.
No no no. This has nothing to do with gmail exchange (or Hotmail Exchange). Only Coporate Outlook/mail exchange servers and pushing emails to Iphone 5.
It seemed perhaps more prevalent on Verizon (maybe more phones sold) -- but AT&T users also reported the issue. Had to do with Corporate Exchange servers and interaction with Iphone 5/ios 6.0. Hence, this release note for 6.1 beta 4:
iOS SDK Release Notes for iOS 6.1 beta 4
Fixed: In iOS 6.0, push email does not work consistently with Exchange clients. This was usually related to moving between Wi-Fi and cellular networks.
Its a misconception that jailbreaking your phone causes a decrease in battery life. That is not true. It is simply becasue you are using your phone more and can have certain tweaks draining battery. If you install a tweak that affects battery life, simply uninstall it. Jailbreaking your phone and not downloading anything won't automatically hurt your battery life.
Supposedly this fixes a 6.0 glitch when you have a single email account that has multiple email addresses. In iOS 5 and prior, the first address would be used as the From address, and the others would just be incoming. But that wasn't reliable in iOS 6, meaning you would sometimes have to manually choose your From address when you sent an email from such multiple-address accounts. The default From was not in your control.
(This could happen if you own a company where multiple email addresses for different "department" all come to the same mailbox. You want to be able to manually choose which to send From, and you could... but you ALSO want a chosen default so that you don't have to choose every time. iOS 6.0 picked a default for me that I didn't want, rather than using the first address. I hope it's true that this bug is squashed.)
