Just wanted to let everyone experiencing dramatic battery drain know to check for location services running.

I've had an iPhone for a couple of years now, but it's the first one my girlfriend has used. She complained about the battery life when she got home, and I just thought it was usual "my first smart phone doesn't get 1 week battery life like my old phone did" naivety. However, I looked at her phone and realized location services was running.

Checked what app was using it and it was Siri. I had to reboot the phone to get her to stop using location services. Seems like if she has network issues, it can cause her to get stuck with it on.

Just something to check for if you are having a battery life issue.
