I've come to the final conclusion I had about the Battery life of 4s

I have a 3GS and immediately noticed the battery drain after iOS 5. I fixed it by turning off iCloud. I still sync to my exchange server and hotmail accounts with push email and get 2 days per charge at about 40% burn a day. Oh I disable 3G since its not at my place. Finally note I use wifi iTunes sync and leave location services on.

With iCloud on I was burning a full charge in a single day.

It is simply the "new" antenna of the iphone 4.

The automatic switch crap it does when locating the best signal. That has to be it.

My wife's regular iphone 4 doesn't have this problem. She still has the choice to choose between 3G and edge, which the iphone 4s no longer has that luxury.

That's why all that other crap isn't working (location services, icloud, wifi) I mean FFS SHE has all that stuff on too!.

It all boils down to the differences in the iphone 4 and the 4s. So what are the differences?

-SIRI
-New Antenna (With automatic switching - "worldphone" )
-camera
-A5 Chip

Well, its not siri, its not the camera -- so that leaves the A5 chip, and the new antenna.

Hmmmm but whats that you say? Some people don't have BATTERY problems at ALL?

Well i think that safely rules out the A5 chip, and then points the finger to the antenna. I can safely think that its about the coverage (whether good or bad) in your area. The 4s's antenna is "working its magic" to find you the best signal constantly -- since now there is no feature to enable/disable 3G.

That's why the iphone 4 doesn't have this problem, and thats why battery life differs amongst different people.

Yo!!! I've been saying the same thing!! I used a iPhone 4S and a half a mophie battery at work crappy service 8 hours, the. The remaining 50% gave me 6 hours in good service at home!
