i think we'll all know more after say a week. Give it at least 24 hours before making any final judgements

I knew on the first day that I had battery problems and everyone said to give it some time. Next thing you know Apple is releasing a fix for battery problems I think we can determine in the first few hours whether or not our batteries are improving

That would be entirely because you have it at 100% brightness. You people blame Apple that you're not getting the advertised battery, then show that you're running everything under the sun, or have brightness high enough to light a ****ing airport runway.
Take it down to the default, 50%, and *GASP* your battery life will go through the roof.
As someone running iOS 5.0.1 on a 4S and iPad 2, I'm having good results.
Battery life is improved, and stability is just fine. Ignore the whiners.

Unless Apple tweaks the bugs again, you'll eventually get these updates with future 5.0.x updates. Might as well jump in. Besides, many places on the web post previous versions of iOS to downgrade to

Yes, because this guy is having no problems, then everyone else who suggests otherwise must be "whiners."
Are you serious dude?
That means you will get 10 hours of USAGE out of your phone...
That's pretty dang good battery life. And that's CERTAINLY "all day," unless you plan on literally spending every second of the day using your iPhone.
Exactly.
You see, I say "whiners" because it's every. single. time. The people here on MacRumors will never be happy. They will complain no matter what, always.
Agreed. I'd kill for those times.
Seems like a serial case of Whiners gonna whine? Kinda sad really. :/
I don't whine. I give my unbiased, objective observations. So far this has been a little worse for battery life on my 4S, about the same on my iPad 2. Early impression for sure. I'm open to all impressions.
Just like I am when I'm testing other stuff.

I think its slightly better. I am streaming Pandora on 3G to run it down quickly to calibrate (I don't care if you "don't have to calibrate", i'm doing it anyway), and noticed it isn't dropping as fast as before. Oh not to mention I have bluetooth connected to my laptop for the sake of making it drain faster and it still isn't draining at the rate it was before.
Oh, no ... is Apple changing the displayed numbers calibration to "fix" the battery problem like they did for the antenna bars???

As long as the phone doesn't die until zero, I'm cool with them doing that!
