Apple Admits Battery Problems: It’s iOS 5’s Fault

All those problems with evaporating iPhone batteries? Looks like it's not the hardware's fault—Apple's 'fessing up to a buggy iOS 5 release that's sucking more juice than it should, The Loop reports.

Apple confirmed the problem in a message to The Loop, stating "A small number of customers have reported lower than expected battery life on iOS 5 devices. We have found a few bugs that are affecting battery life and we will release a software update to address those in a few weeks."

Looks to us like it's more than "a small number of customers," but either way, we hope the battery-fixing update arrives ASAP. I've got so many stupid Siri video ideas I need to execute!

That's pretty bad sounding. Ah well though, if some batteries not lasting long enough is their biggest problem they won't need to worry that much really.

I know they test these extensively before releasing them, but it always seems like there is an issue that they end up having to fix after they release the product. Doesn't really make sense.

Well, at least the update is out now
