Many users are complaining about experiencing extremely poor battery life after upgrading their iDevices to iOS 4.3. This update brings with it a host of new features and enhancements to existing ones, unfortunately battery life seems to have taken a drastic hit in the process. Some users are seeing their battery life drop as much as 20% after installing the update. iOS 4.3 includes features such as an updated version of AirPlay, which allows more apps to stream content directly to the Apple TV, Safari now uses the Nitro Javascript to allow faster webpage rendering, and the iPhone 4 can now be used as a personal Wi-Fi hotspot, among other iOS improvements as well. As of right now it isn’t clear whether the battery problems are the result of a bug in the operating system or caused by another issue. It is possible that Safari may be using too much power now that it is u sing the new Nitro Javascript engine. Others believe it may have something to do with Apple’s latest Ping notification system, which runs continuously in the background. The Apple discussion forums have over 200 users reporting similar problems with poor battery performance. One of the possible solutions that seem to improve battery life is to disable all push notifications to the iPhone. It is unfortunate that users may have to disable certain features on their iPhones in order to improve their battery life. Apple recently released a security update for the desktop version of Safari, an update which the mobile version should also be expecting to see in the near future. Hopefully Apple will be able to address the latest battery woes that many users are now experiencing in the next iOS update. We are sure any improvement in battery life will leave a lot of iPhone users content. What do you think of the whole ordeal? Has this issue happened to you?
