Hi,

I've suspected a hit to battery life since upgrading my devices but my phone is plugged in more so it's not so obvious and it's been busy in use relative to my work. I'll call that an iHangover via many of my users and customers upgrading and getting their 4S phones.

My kids see the iPod draining faster and my iPad 2 is down 10 to 15% more for very much the same use. I suspect it's the connections to cloud and iMessage. This is going to be a pain and bummer because battery life has been among my top reasons for the iPad becoming one of my work tools.

I have the iMessage in a minimal config, same with iCloud and location services.

I wonder how alone I am seeing this?

Thanks.
