iPhone 4S Battery Issues Are Not Hardware-Related, It’s About Software (REPORT)

by Ahmed Omar on November 15, 2011

When Apple launched the iPhone 4S, many users have reported some issues causing fast battery discharge on the handset. Apple few days ago released iOS 5.0.1 to fix those problems but then it was confirmed that iOS 5.0.1 didn’t fix the battery issues. Apple is still investigating the issue and will release iOS 5.0.2 soon.

After the iPhone 4S battery issues appeared, some people thought that the issues are hardware-related. But ZDNet report says it all, the iPhone 4S battery issues are not hardware-related, but rather, it’s all about software problems.

According to some lab tests, the battery issues on Apple’s iPhone 4S are not hardware related. After restoring a backup from a device having battery problems to a similar device that runs fine and vice versa, it has been proved that the issue can be “ported” to other iOS device. The testing shows that the iPhone 4S hardware has now problems and Apple should just look to release newer iOS to fix this issue.

In brief, there’s a bug in iOS 5, and even more in iOS 5.0.1, causing battery causing premature battery drain. Apple is already working on fixing the but and we’re expecting iOS 5.0.2 very soon. However, jailbreakers mustn’t update to neither iOS 5.0.1 nor iOS 5.0.2.
