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.
