While it might be a no-brainer for most, I just today found out how to reduce the insane amounts of power in iOS5.

By turning on locations services for the weather widget and reminder app, I increased my charge cycle by over 500%! (calculated).

Having them now turned off, and only camera, facebook and maps using the locationservices - I am almost back to OS4 battery life as far as I have measured.

A friendly post for those who might not find it as obvious (including me) :)

Thanks
