iPhone iOS5 - diminished battery life after the update

[Edd]

After a bunch of reading I'm not remotely tempted to update my 4s. The upgrades aren't motivating to me and I've never had battery issues so the risk vs reward isn't making sense.

They update the OS now and then to fix some bugs. In this case it's a combo bug fix and update for the new iPad. Going from OS5.0 to OS5.1 likely isn't a big deal, but I usually give it a couple days and monitor the apple blogs as sometimes they muck something up. And the servers are usually busy if you try to do it the first day. If it's a big update OS5 to OS6 then definitely hold off and let the early adopters find all the issues.

Have you updated yet?

I'm having a hard time getting the iPad to upgrade to ios5. I think I need that before I can do the 5.1 on it.

No, not for fear of anything. Just haven't bothered yet.

That was the last "plug in" update I did on our iPad. The update process was a bit clunky. The wifi updates are much easier. Although, non of them have been really major. I haven't done the upgrade to 5.1 as of yet. Just haven't bothered.

I just figured it was due to everyone getting the 5.1 that the system was clogged. Will try again one of these days, if not will bring it to the Apple store.

I'm sure a quick trip to the Apple store got it fixed or a new phone on the spot. When an android update screwed up my phone, I was told by the carrier to wait for an update/patch, 6 months later and a bunch of updates and patches, it was back to normal! I was also unable to find an android store locally to bring it too.

I took upgrade yesterday. Easy, didn't take long.

A one off. The blogs light up when there is a real problem with an update.
