Some People have been saying iOS 5 decreases battery life, and for me it has been mixed. I have an iPhone 3GS which it got worse for, but an iPhone 4 and iPod Touch 4 which was better or just a good. Apple is soon to be releasing an update for it. Have you had Battery Problems?

Probably made a new account after his old one got banned and the mods found out.

Apple is coming out now that the iPhone is having bad battery life. Um Apple. I noticed the battery draining out badly in iOS 4. Um now they just tried fixing it? Wow. Apple is behind

Nope my iPod Touch 4G is still on it's same battery time, very soon I'll have the iPhone 4S and I am not thinking that it will give me any battery problems (as specially with 5.0.1 around the corner to fix these issues)

The battery life with iOS 5 isn't much different than iOS 4 (maybe a little less) with my iPod Touch 4G. The problem is with its poor memory management. It might not be much of a problem on the iPad, iPad 2, iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S but it is on the more limited memory devices like iPod Touch 4G (and the iPhone 3GS and iPod Touch 3G, I'm assuming) Now some apps appear to run slow or crash because they consume too much memory. The Milwaukee Art Museum app always crashes and Angry Birds runs slow. Even built-in apps appear to run slow. Like when I'm using the Photos app and try to scroll through my photos and it freezes every few seconds. Also when I'm listening to music and put my iPod Touch to sleep and wake it up it sometimes freezes for several seconds before showing my music, it also does this when I switch back to the music app from something else. Also when I'm using Safari on a web page with a considerable amount of content (Like Swagbucks) and I try to zoom in or go to a textbox it causes Safari to crash with a "Low Memory" entry in the log with either MobileSafari or Springboard reported as the largest process. Looking at my Diagnostics and Usage Log, about 90% of them are "Low Memory" entries.
