This may be a nightmare for many an iPhone 4S users but it’s true, the battery seems to have a problem. This apparent glitch does not affect everyone of course but it is prevalent enough to irk quite a few users.

The issue has been getting enough media attention these past few days that many iPhone 4S users are alarmed. The poor battery life issue of the newly released iPhone may be its Achilles’ heel, reports say.

At Apple’s support forums, a lot of iPhone 4S users started discussing battery problems a day after the release of the new Apple gadget. To date, there are now over 185 pages of comments regarding the issue making it rather problematic for the technology giant.

“I am disappointed, this will probably be my last iPhone.”, says one user who pre-ordered the new iPhone. Contrary to the official specs of the phone which should have enough juice for 8 hours, the iPhone 4S only lasts 4 hours or even less.

Experts believe however that the problem may not be the battery itself but with the new operating system from Apple since it has a lot of apps on, it basically consumes a lot of juice.

Does your battery stink? This is now a common question in threads allover the web. The question of course refers to the battery problem of the new iPhone.

Although not everyone is affected,  there are definitely plenty of threads where people are voicing their concerns regarding their newly-bought iPhone 4S.

iPhone 4S users are now looking for a quick fix to get their batteries to last longer. Meanwhile, Apple has not yet addressed the issue publicly. Could this be the end of the technology giant? Many feared that Steve Jobs’ passing is a big factor when it comes to the company’s general popularity, its sales and investor relations but now, the iPhone 4S just might be the signal for the end of Apple’s reign.
