Apple Acknowledges iPhone 4S Battery Problems
bdking writes "After more than two weeks of complaints from frustrated iPhone 4S owners, Apple finally has admitted problems with fast-draining batteries in the new devices. The company blames it on bugs in iOS 5 and promises a fix 'in a few weeks.' But Apple should have spoken up sooner, if only to acknowledge the issue."
From the summary:
"But Apple should have spoken up sooner, if only to acknowledge the issue."
What a load of shit. The device has been out for about three weeks at this point. How many other companies actually work this quickly to actually determine whether or not a problem exists, determine what the problem actually is, and then start working on a fix? I wish the companies that I regularly deal with were remotely as responsive to issues.
Jesus wept.
You are welcome on my lawn.
Well as long as I'm modded troll for that comment I might as well add that that fix, the 2.3.4 update for the Samsung Galaxy S2 which hasn't been released for belgian users for months now, includes a fix for poor battery life for a small number of users. Yet no uproar for that on Slashdot.
"Battery life: some users let us know that their batteries didn’t seem to be lasting as long; battery life should be improved for these folks."
If all else fails, immortality can always be assured by spectacular error.
Have you disabled "raise to speak" in Siri settings? That was reported on day one (or two) and solved my problem immediately.
