New iPhone 4S Drains Battery Like Crazy


Even before hearing news stories about the new iPhone 4S possibly having issues with fast draining batteries, it had been the subject of discussion with several of my co-workers who have recently gotten the new phone.  It was my understanding that the new phones would have improved battery life.  My old phone couldn't get through the day without a recharge and I was hoping the new phone would do better.  

Today I was shopping for a case to protect my phone at the local Apple store and I saw the Mophie Juice Pack Air, which is a case with a built-in extra battery.  When the phone battery dies, the Mophie case recharges the phone, doubling the the battery life.  It was crazy expensive ($79.95), but considering most of the cases alone cost $30-$50, spending a little more to get a case that extends the battery life seemed like a good idea. 

Hopefully, there also is a software fix for the current battery problem too.  I have better things to do than charging my phone all the time.
