The iPhone 4S is, in appearance, practically the same as the iPhone 4. Same design, same format and, as we know from 9to5 Mac, same controversial premiere. And it is that although the launch of the edition of the Apple phone that was released in 2010 was clouded with that incidence registered in the bad reception of signal if the terminal was held improperly , on this occasion the black legend extends to one of the points that, on the other hand, is the sword of Damocles of any smartphone: the battery.
The controversial situation that has been detected in some units of the iPhone 4S is that autonomy plummets for unknown reasons and under a configuration that, a priori, should play in favor of a high duration.
That is, by disconnecting the systems that require the most consumption (Siri and the data and location connections), the iPhone 4S maintains a constant battery drop of up to ten percent per hour in sleep mode, which can be understood as a scandalous rhythm, beyond the status of an intelligent mobile phone apple.
Apple seems to have responded to the situation. Without having taken an official position in contacting all the potential affected clients, the Californian firm had begun a reduced situation analysis program.
This would consist of the installation of an application that monitors the activity of the telephone in a working day, sending the results to the laboratories of the company with a view to analyzing the results and finding the basis of this supposed problem that has already been repeated in not a few units of new model of the iPhone.
According to the official indexes provided among the technical specifications of the iPhone 4S, the terminal should support an autonomy of between eight and fourteen hours in use (depending on the use of the connections), reaching up to 200 hours at rest.
But as we have noted, consumption manifesting affected units would fall every hour ten percent of the total load, so that those 200 hours (or 8.3 days) have been far from confirmed.
Perhaps you are one of the users who has acquired one of the first iPhone 4S that have been put on sale during the past weekend. In such case, are you experiencing this awkward situation with the iPhone 4S battery?
