iPhone iOS5: Battery drain fix

I upgraded to iOS5 and soon realized that my battery gets depleted within 6 hours even though I neither didn't talk much nor have much apps open. This seems to be a bug with iOS5 that some programs runs in the background and consumes lot of resource.

First, I went to Settings > Location Services> ON and tried to re-evaluate if I really need location for certain apps. It didn't fix much.  Secondly, I did reset my network settings (Settings> General> Reset > Reset Network Settings).  Now I started to get my battery life back. The battery charge remains for 1 whole day.

Recent update that Apple have fixed the battery drain issue in their recent update iOS 5.0.1.  The beta version is already out to developers.

iPhone 4S

Many people had expectation of releasing iPhone 5 last week. I have seen news floating around about fans being unhappy with what Apple released in Oct/04. Apple surely did improve its device. Everyone can see that. 

I don't think fans are unhappy with iPhone 4S rather the media is. Media is competing all across the air to get their programs, articles and prints get noticed. iPhone 4 was  dissected by all the tech blog and news channels. Media have less to add-on now. I believe iPhone 4S is targeted totally towards a different community. iPhone 4S is less focused on people who own an iPhone4 rather who have been using iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, other smartphones like Android , Windows Phone and Blackberry.  A high percentage of iPhone 4 users are still under contract. Everyone who are now cautious about spending a penny would stick to iPhone 4.There are millions of people who have a basic phone. iPhone 4S would attract them and be a Apple customer. A smartphone has become a necessity than a line of richness.

I have been using my iPhone 4 for more than a year now and am totally happy with it. The new apps that get released at the iTunes store makes my phone feel fresh. Next mobile gadget from Apple would have less changes to its chipset but more to its shape, battery and antenna. A 8MP camera, HD video recording is a lot of art/photography offered in a phone.
