Has the iPhone 4S battery issue been solved?

Complaints and problems with battery life was the only thing that marred the launch of Apple’s iPhone 4S. Users took to forums and websites to complain that the battery seemed to drain quickly, even when the device appeared to be inactive, or sleeping. Apple issued advice which included switching off location services when not in use in an effort to conserve battery. There is also an iOS5 update which hopes to solve the problem. But could a new product remove the need for such updates and solve battery issues forever?

A new iPhone 4S accessory has been launched which offers a snap-on battery pack ensuring you have juice when you need it. The Boostcase Hybrid case is just one of a number of new devices designed to help smartphone users cling on to that extra bit of power when they are unable to charge their device and it is running low.

The Boostcase Hybrid Snap-case and a Detachable 1900mAh extended battery includes a slim back case for the device along with the detachable battery pack which, manufacturers claim, doubles the smartphone’s battery life. It weighs around 2.5 ounces, so it is not adding too much to your bag. They add it is a fully functional battery with a level indicator letting users know how much juice is left, a simultaneous synch and charge and an on/off button.

The case fits on to the back of the iPhone 4S, comes in a variety of colours including back, white, peach, orange, yellow and grey. However the extended battery is only available in black or white. The device isn’t cheapo, coming in at $79.95 and it is also compatible with the iPhone 4.

Pricey but if it works it would make a real difference. It isn’t the only product on the market promising to improve smartphone battery life. There are mobile chargers that are either battery powered or solar-powered that allows users to eke out that extra bit of juice when they need it. Other products include Apps like JuiceDefender that is available on the Android Market that manages your battery for you.

What each of these products ignores, though, is the fact that smartphone batteries should last more than a day. Charging a device up overnight, you expect the battery to last until you get back home, and be able to use it. The fact that there is hardly a powerful smartphone that allows this frustrates users. The increasing number of articles and tips being offered about devices with the best battery life shows it is becoming even more important to consumers, particularly if they are tying themselves into a £30 plus monthly contract by not shopping around at Best Mobile Contracts. Apple lauded its new iPhone 4S when it was first launched promising a faster processor but a Lithium battery that could keep up. An iOS update later and clearly while the battery consumption may have been improved, it clearly wasn’t enough.

As the smartphone arms race continues and devices run faster processors, allow greater interaction with other devices, rely more and more on location services for social networking and cloud-based remote working and playing, it is the battery that is going to take the hit. Expect battery life to be given an increasingly prominent role in smartphone launches this year because the one that lasts the longest will win the sales.
