So last night, at around 3am, I unplugged my 4S and plugged in my iPad. When I woke up, my iPhone was down to 85%. Is anyone else experiencing this type of battery usage? My old iPhone would only be down to 98% when I did this before.

I can understand that during the day I a,using it a lot, but not when I'm asleep. Thoughts?

Battery life on mine doesn't seem to be that great either. Maybe it will take some time to adjust but maybe ios5 uses more battery?

was curious about it as well. i havent seen those types of drops sitting idle because ive been using it all the time

I found a little trick that improved my battery life a bit. Settings>location>system settings> time zone> "switch off". This little feature runs continuously in the background. I don't need this because I'm not moving between time zones.

Same here. I'm wondering if Siri is the culprit, since it seems to be using the gps even when you are not requesting location information.

yeah and reminders too, if i remember correctly the batteries in these phones take a couple days to get into a groove i could be wrong though.

I woke up this morning and I was at 100%. My phone is still on charger and I have been watching it slowly go down, now i'm at 94%?

Mine is much better today. Been off the charger since 8am. It's 1:40 now. I have 2 hours of usage and 78% battery left. Yesterday it went really fast. I used Siri a lot yesterday though and hardly at all today.

Battery life is much improved on 3G but otherwise seems the same as the 4

My battery life so far is not spectacular. It charged to 100% and began to discharge while still plugged in, so I replugged it in brought it back to 100 and disconnected it. It's already at 45% and it's only 2:15 in the afternoon. This is with wifi on, and light to moderate use. If it doesn't improve I'll be going back to my Android that lasted me 15 hours at least.
