So iPhone 4S battery drain is hardware?

[mark28]

According to the specs, the iPhone 4S has 100 hours less standby time than the iPhone 4. ( the iPhone 4 has 50% more battery life in standby ). And after 2 months+ months, nothing much has changed in battery life?

So I shouldn't hope on iOS 5.1 to fix the battery issues?

You know the battery is not that bad look at the Evo.

The iPhone 4S has 200 hours of standby time. That means each day of standby it loses 12% of its battery life.

The iPhone 4 has 300 hours of standby time. That means each day of standby it loses 8% of its battery life.

4% difference isn't much at all when it comes to real world use...

I know someone with a Verizon iPhone 4s that can go all day long (wake, to sleep). They unplugged at 5AM and came home at 8PM with about 50% left.

Seems pretty good to me.

Their browser loading speed was also really fast for only being 3G (compared to my 4G Galaxy Nexus). Loaded a video very quickly.

I was really impressed. Can't wait for the next iteration.

This would impress me too however I don't get these results but I can't complain, I do use my phone a lot and I have Sprint so I don't know if most of the time it's just struggling for good cell signal.

200 hours of standby??

Do you mean the device turned off, or lock screen?

Not as advertised would be more accurate
