Oh dear.

So, unsurprisingly it seems that the new iPhone is too clever for it's own good at the moment! http://www.pcworld.com/article/242858/apple_iphone_4s_battery_drain_guessing_game_continues.html
Users appear to be complaining about the battery life of the new iPhone 4S, and have been forced to find 'sensible battery life management practices.'  Of course, these include very simple ideas, such as switching off the wifi when not in use or lowering the screen brightness.  Sooo in other words, the battery life is surely outweighing the benefits at the moment if we can't choose the simple things?!  Of course, all new technology is bound to have issues when it's first launched, and when you look at the speed that these things seem to be knocked out at the moment, it's hardly surprising!

However it does seem that Apple's vision is very clear, and that is perhaps what saves them from too many bad feelings from their users.  For example, the iPhone 4 had some serious design faults to begin with. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/apple/7894455/Apple-iPhone-4-signal-problems-Some-perspective.html
Users were losing signal when their phone was in their excited little palms! Pretty stupid of Apple eh? Well, it seemed that didn't matter too much after the issue was dealt with and all was well in the Apple world once again!

Now, although it seems Apple are fairly indestructible (at least at the moment!) perhaps we should feel that Apple on these two occasions have been rather too eager to get a new product out on the somewhat crowded market of mobile phones!? If Apple focused more on testing their products then these issues will be easier to solve before everyone rushes out and drops everything to get their hands on a new piece of shiny plastic!! (It seems it's cool to be dedicated to Apple these days... I probably wouldn't be so bitter if I could actually afford an iPhone but that's another story!)

All this said though... could Apple be starting to falter? ... More to follow!
