According to All Things Digital, Apple has today released the following statement:
“The recent iOS software update addressed many of the battery issues that some customers experienced on their iOS 5 devices. We continue to investigate a few remaining issues.”As we reported, we’ve received numerous reports from readers indicating that the iPhone 4S battery life issues persist even with the iOS 5.0.1 update. In fact, one only has to look at Apple’s own support forum to see that there continues to be a lot of angry people over this issue.
