Short battery life is no longer just a worry for Android users, Apple has been battling its own troubles with the iPhone 4S. Reports are coming in that battery life in the iPhone 4S is unnecessarily short, even after users turn off persistent battery draining services like iCloud, Siri, location awareness, and Ping.

It is rumored that Apple may be contacting users directly to find a solution to the problem. One user wrote a blog post and claimed that Apple had contacted him and asked that he install a diagnostic tool on his iPhone 4S. That user told The Guardian, and also added that he had noticed his battery drain by as much as 10% per hour while in use and about 5% per hour in standby mode. And, these findings came after he had done a clean install of iOS 5 on his new device. He says that an Apple engineer reached out to him to try finding a solution. He also added that the engineer was very helpful “in the typical Apple way”.

It appears that Apple is no closer to finding a fix for whatever is causing the extra battery drain for users, but it’s great to know that the company is being proactive about finding a solution to the problem.
