iPhone 5 battery gauge Apple s (AAPL) recent iOS 6.0.2 release had one major purpose: to fix Wi-Fi connection issues. But according to TidBITs and many other iPhone 5 and iPad mini users on Apple s discussion forums, the update is draining battery life quicker than usual. According to TidBIT s Michael Cohen and Adam C. Engst, the issue may be related to the updated devices now working harder to scan for Wi-Fi access points. It s unclear how widespread the battery drain issue is. BGR didn t notice any unusual battery drainage on one of our iPhone 5s running iOS 6.0.2. This also isn t the first time Apple s iOS devices have suffered from battery issues after a software update, and likely won t be the last.
