Apple iPhone 4S Battery Drain: Guessing Game Continues
so much for longer battery life than an iPhone 4 that was reported
apparently if you turn off all services that make the phone work your battery will last a little longer.
so far no definitive reason for the battery drain. didn't Apple take an extra 6 months before releasing this phone to make sure it was perfect and "just works"?
so far the only solution is to disable many of the features that make the phone special lol

DIY Battery Life
Critics and users impatient for an official statement from Apple about the iPhone 4S are trying to solve the battery drain problem on their own. The most popular culprit found so far is a feature in the iPhone 4S's Location Services that lets a phone discover its time zone automatically. The feature can be switched off by opening the iPhone 4S's Settings app (the grey cog) and selecting Location Services > System Services (at the very bottom of the screen) > Setting Time Zone.
But that's not the only solution. Apple's support forum thread on the iPhone 4S battery issue is replete with creative concoctions for battery-saving techniques. This morning, there are 2388 comments and more than 157,000 views on the Apple support forum thread dealing with the iPhone 4S battery life issue.
