Cupertino, we have a problem.<\/p>\n
This morning I woke up to a dead iPhone 4S. When I went to bed last night, the battery gauge showed at least 50 percent.<\/p>\n
I did see a few vampires roaming the streets (it was Halloween, after all), but I didn’t expect them to sink their fangs into my iPhone.<\/p>\n
I do expect this kind of\u00a0overnight power loss from Android phones<\/a><\/span>, as I’ve seen it happen with any number of models. But I’ve owned every iPhone since the original, and this has never happened with any of them.<\/p>\n Last night was the second time with my 4S.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n As you’ve probably heard, I’m not the only one with problems, not by a long shot. Earlier today, CNET’s Josh Lowensohn noted that\u00a0the growing iPhone 4S battery issue<\/a><\/span> is reminiscent of the iPhone 4’s “antennagate.” <\/p>\n Meanwhile, Kent German noted that although the iPhone 4S performed well in CNET Labs battery tests<\/a><\/span>, that doesn’t necessarily take into account real-world usage. Indeed, I think there’s enough anecdotal evidence from users to suggest a definite problem with either the 4S hardware, iOS 5, or some combination of the two.<\/p>\n
