Apple has finally broke its silence on the matter. A spokeswoman for Apple, Natalie Harrison, acknowledges that a “small” number of customers have reported “lower-than-expected battery life on iOS 5 devices.
"The power-efficient A5 chip and iOS 5 deliver outstanding battery life," says Apple's website.
It’s interesting that she mentioned iOS5 devices, instead of specifically iPhone 4S, when referring to the customer complaints.
So the problem is not confined to just the newly launched and hugely popular iPhone 4S. It’s just that the 4S has been hogging the headlines.
She tells Bloomberg that “We have found a few bugs that are affecting battery life and we will release a software update to address those in a few weeks.”
