But things changed with the big update. And it appeared that many users saw their devices were discharged without mercy. Have you solved the problem with the release of iPhone OS 5.1?

The answer would be partly correct. It is widely believed that the improvement in battery performance is clear, but that is insufficient. And despite the improvement, there are still users who complain at how your battery drains very quickly. The user community seems to accept the proposed improvement Apple, but certainly not enough.
