We have found all kind of comments and posts on Twitter concerning this subject, some of the people telling us that the battery life has been improved through the new iOS, and also some complaints that sustain the opposite. As a response to all of this, we can tell you that in some specific ways the battery life might be better with the upgrade to the new firmware.

However, this doesn’t change the fact that a lot of users have been experiencing certain problems with the life battery since they’ve upgraded to iOS 6.1. Even TNW pointed out that some individuals reported troubles with the battery, and that this wasn’t the first time because they claimed serious issues ever since they’re first upgrade.
