iOS 5.0.1 arrives with purported battery life fixes

arstechnica.com

This is the first over-the-air update pushed by Apple.

It purportedly fixes the iPhone 4S battery problems.

This update doesn't seem to affect my iPhone. Battery still drains very quickly. 100% to 93% in 10 minutes just browsing over wifi with 50% brightness.

Same for me. I find it more than a little insulting how Apple is just brushing this battery problem under the rug.

It's pretty egregious - my iPhone 4S's battery drains in less than half the time of my iPhone 4, yet they treat it as no big deal.
