Amazingly, this iPhone 4S battery-life car-crash may not actually be fixed by the iOS 5.0.1 update! Some users are even complaining that it’s worse than before. Black Friday is best time for new IOS 5.0.2.

Has Apple made a mess of the first OTA update? Many users are still reporting rotten-to-the-core power performance.

This mean - official release iOS 5.0.2 coming soon. We think real iOS 5.0.2 release - Black Friday 2011. Best gift from Apple - iOS 5.0.2 BLACK FRIDAY.

Why?

The rapid battery exhaustion problem was reported almost immediately after the Oct. 14 launch of the iPhone 4S when owners said the phone’s battery was draining at a prodigious rate. Some claimed that they were losing 1% of their power every few minutes.

The largest thread in Apple’s support forum now stretches nearly 300 pages, includes more than 4,400 messages and has been viewed more than 315,000 times.

On that thread and others, iPhone owners not only continued to report significant battery losses but in some cases said that iOS 5.0.1 actually exacerbated the problem.

“After update my 4S is the same if not worse,” said “B737800″ in a message early Friday. “We know now this is definitely a hardware issue. This phone is just not practical for everyday use.”

“5.0.1 is worst!!! [sic]” ranted Alessis. “My battery life is ridiculously short. Without using the iPhone I’m loosing 10% per hour… if I use it… 1% to 2% per minute.”
