When Apple released the iPhone 4S, users complained about the short battery life. In response, Apple said that the shortened battery life had something to do with its new operating system, the iOS 5. While Apple has since released an update, the iOS 5.0.1, iPhone users are still dissatisfied with the battery life of the phone. Some customers claim that the update has made the situation worse. Apple has again responded and says that the update to iOS 5.0.2 will fix the diminished battery life issue.
Battery issues do not apply to just the iPhone 4S. Smartphones in general have issues with power consumption. Smartphones also run automatic updates. The myTouch 4G automatically runs updates, which also decreases its battery life. Avid myTouch 4G users typically charge their phones once or twice a day. Ultimately, when we want speed, we will need to make some sacrifices. I am not saying that consumers do not have the right to get upset regarding battery issues. At the same time, users need to take into consideration how much they use their phones and in what capacities.
Concluding ThoughtsThe issue regarding battery life does have the ability to influence the overall Smartphone industry. When users purchase their next Smartphones, they often compare the average battery life to help them make their decisions. For apps developers, users will spend more time downloading apps when they spend less time charging their phones.
