So now that iOS 4.3 is out and people have had a chance to play with it a bit, do you find the battery life to be better or worse compared to iOS 4.2? I'm still doing some wifi web browsing on iOS 4.3 to see if I will get the same 10 hours of web browsing I got on iOS 4.2. So far, it looks to be a bit better. But that could be because I'm using the Mercury Web Browser instead of the POS Safari. Also, an interesting thing to note is that the size of iOS when installed on the iPhone itself has not changed.

It's been the same for me so far too.
 
considering it hasn't been out for 10 hours. you won't get many answers. :rolleyes:

The GM has been out for developers for almost a week now. I've used it for the last 6 days and can say that battery life is the same.
 
Yeah I think it's the same. Hard to tell as I've only had it for a while.. but it seems the same so far.
 
From my testing of the wifi web browsing, I've concluded that I'm getting about the same 10 hour browsing usage.
