I read somewhere this is an app - probably Facebook - switching itself into a mode that causes the drain.
But then, I don't have a smart enough phone to check that.

Mine's been reasonably well behaved. Drains a tad more quickly than the 3GS but not in an inconveniencing way.

From what I have heard, it’s a corrupted contact in the address book that’s causing a failure during syncing to iCloud. All those retries, especially on 3G, are causing power drains.

I've got a 4 rather than a 4s but I'm actually finding the battery lifespan has improved slightly. A friend was having issues then he realised he'd set a lot of reminders which were GPS triggered, so the GPS was on pretty much all the time. He switched some of them off and things improved. However I have also seen web reports that suggest there are some seeing high battery use without such straightforward fixes. I've heard the same iCloud related issue as Paul mentioned.

I'm seeing worse battery usage than before I upgrade to ios5, but that could be because I've recently turned Bluetooth on permanently.

I've noticed no difference upgrading to iOS 5 on my iPhone 4. The only thing that seems to have drained my battery recently is playin Jetpack Joyride for about two hours at a time...

Blimey. A bug in a .0 release.
This must be a first.
I thought I was suffering from a slight reduction in battery capacity, but overall, it's been so slight it's not that much of a deal. A days average use (for me) still takes it down to c. 50%.
And even before 5.0, leaving the GPS on was a recipe for eating battery.

This should have been found in field trials. Oh wait they keep on losing the handsets.

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

The Find Friends feature is rumoured as a culprit, because it constantly uses GPS and network.
On the other hand, my boss has had 2 replacement iPhone 4 phones since May with dead batteries - one stopped charging / lasted only a couple of hours and another was DoA (the other two had faulty antennes). It looks like it could also be a quality control problem, if the 4S is having similar problems.

It is a variety of apps. The Apple Contacts App is one, it keeps crashing, sending a report to Apple, restarting, crashing, sending report to Apple, restarting ad infinitum. Other Apple apps are also causing similar problems. With the contacts, deleting all contacts and resynching can help, but not always. Hopefully the patch this week will sort out the problem.
