iPhone 4S battery bugs acknowledged, fix coming in a few weeks

iPhone 4S owners experiencing less than stellar battery life are not alone and Apple has acknowledged that they have found some bugs which will be fixed in a subsequent iOS update. A few tips to manage battery life better include turning off Location Services, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi are just a few of the tips that have worked for some.
