Hi Rob,
I think I am also noticing that my battery life for my iPhone 4 is was way less since I updates to 4.3. Have any more listeners had the same issue? Thanks for the great work Rob. Nice job with the show. :)

Hi Doug,
Yes - and many are reporting better battery life with iOS 4.3.1.
Have you upgraded to iOS 4.3.1?

Hi Rob !
My name is Ben from Montreal.
On your last episode ( 170 ) you asked if anyone experienced a battery problem with the previous iOS 4.3
Well here is my story.
When I updated my iPhone 3GS with the previous iOS 4.3, I realized that my device needed to get recharged more frequently in the first 2 days. I use my device intensively for personal and business as well. So charging it on a daily basis is normal but with iOS 4.3 , I had to constantly connect it to my charger because it would drain my battery way faster.
So one night I decided to do a test. I put my phone on airplane mode , left my wifi on , and killed all programs running in the background before I go to bed. Woke up in the morning and checked my device and what a surprise to see that my phone lost 20% of battery life just sitting on a table for 8 hours. Never did I thought upgrading my iOS would be the reason for this problem. So I decided to schedule an appointment with Apple to see how I could take advantage of the battery replacement program.
Then the same morning I connected my iPhone to iTunes then I get a notification of iOS 431. I installed it and checked on a forum to read more about this upgrade only to realize that many people had the same issue and 4.3.1 seemed to have improve their battery life.
So after the update I felt like I had a new phone. I did not need to charge it as often. Also I did the same overnight test. Switched to airplane mode , killed all apps in the background , left the wifi ON , and fair enough , I lost 2 % of battery charge for the same 8 hours.
Thanks for your podcast. I listen to it on a regular basis and it gives me some great information.
Ben
