I've been noticing lately that playing music on my phone of all sorts kills the battery drastically quickly on iOS 6. For example, I used to be able to listen to music on headphones for about an hour and have the battery be still at 100% or maybe down to 99% or 98%.

Now, after an hour, it'll go down to 92-93%.

Further, I noticed that listening to offline music in the Rdio app coincidentally does not kill the battery nearly as quickly, which seems odd. The built in music app used to always have the best battery life.

Has anyone else noticed this issue? I'll be doing a full restore later today as I've heard that may help battery life.
