iOS 6.1 Leads To Battery Life Drain, Overheating For iPhone Users

Posted by timothy on from the that's-a-drag dept.

An anonymous reader writes "We have started seeing an increase in iPhone issues related to battery life and overheating. All of them seem to be related to users upgrading their devices to iOS 6.1. Furthermore, Vodafone UK today began sending out text messages to iPhone 4S owners on its network, warning them not to upgrade to iOS 6.1 due to issues with 3G performance. The text reads, 'If you've not already downloaded iOS 6.1 for your iPhone 4s, please hold off for the next version while Apple fixes 3G performance issues. Thanks.'"

    My phone is too full to run the upgrade. I guess I am just good.

    Try removing the pirated songs and videos.

    Maybe those have the same bug since they are (allegedly) such a shameful copy of the iPhone...

    Ooh look, a little iFan cannot face the facts their beloved company isn't perfect, so she avoids the issue concerned and goes off looking for something else. Tip: Apple's cockups are not your failings, stop taking everything personally. You'll feel better for it.
