Worse Battery Performance on iOS 4? Steve Says “Nope”

Many users have reported decreased battery life problems on devices running iOS 4. I haven’t experienced the issue myself, but I surely can’t speak on everyone’s behalf. Anyway, Emails from Steve Jobs reader Jarle sent an email to the chief asking about the problem, and he got a nice “nope” as response.

This is the conversation:

“Any reason battery performance on a 3GS running iOS4 should be worse than it was running OS3?


Steve’s reply:


Nope.

Sent from my iPhone”

So, it’s a non-issue. Again. Let us know what you think.
