Apple amends iPhone 4S battery issues with iOS 5 update

Apple has announced an iOS 5 update to amend the iPhone 4S battery drain issues.

Some users reported that their handsets suffered a dramatic drop in battery life, a problem which the platformer holder has attributed to software bugs.

Apple claims that the issue has affected "a small amount of customers" and promised to rectify the matter with a patch due in the coming weeks.

"A small number of customers have reported lower than expected battery life on iOS 5 devices," the firm said in a statement issued to AllThingsDigital. "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."

iOS 5.0.1 Beta is already doing the rounds in the development community, according to AppleInsider. The update allegedly includes a host of new features in addition to the bug fixes.

The download reportedly "fixes bugs affecting battery life, adds Multitasking Gestures for original iPad, resolves bugs with Documents in the Cloud, improves voice recognition for Australian users using dictation, contains security improvements... iOS 5.0.1 beta introduces a new way for developers to specify files that should remain on device, even in low storage situations."

iOS 5.0.1 will be available to download in the coming weeks.
