Good news if you’re one of the iOS 5 users who suffers from crippled battery life: Most early reports are showing that iOS 5.0.1 fixes the problem completely.
-----------
I've been using it for the last week and I certainly see the difference so nice one Apple! and prior to their suggested released time too.

ooooooh! I sense a little iphone sarcasm
but I think they did pretty good in getting this out just 3 weeks after official release once they got feedback from the masses.
How long did it take HTC or Samsung to do the same after release for battery or heat issues? ahem cough cough
oh.. thats right... they have to wait for google to get it together, and Google generally choose to release for their own devices first!
a-n-y-w-a-y... iOS users can now get this immediately over the air and even updating via itunes doesn't require a full restore of apps and other content and so is a fairly quick update which doesn't add much to the normal data synch that most of us do

No sarcasm.
I'm glad YOU got a working fix, cause not everyone did according to the article you linked to
But it looks like the fix isn’t working for everyone. A few users have not seen any improvement with iOS 5.0.1 at this time. Gareth Evans tweeted that he saw no difference; he’s still getting six hours of usage on standby and four and a half when it’s being used. One user even reported worse battery life with the update, but that unlucky individual seems to be an outlier.
Is this update available for everyone, or just developers like yourself? I've read that the update is 790MB in size or 45MB OTA update.
That HTC and Samsung are having problems with their updates does not make the battery problem any better for those being forced to charge their iPhone every 5 hours does it?

I don't know if it was my settings or the fact i was coming from a 3GS but I didn't notice the battery issue too much - will wait to see if its now doubled or anything..
Quite pleased with the delta update (a first) and the fact it could be done on the phone easily without tethering to iTunes etc.
Most pleased with this - a little extra fix that they didn't shout about so much -

Ps - yes laffen, it's available to everyone! And "finally"?! Seriously, it's been a couple of weeks!

I am actually a little surprised that a bug like this passed Apple's quality testing department. Unlike other manufactures, and except for one incident with the battery of the MacBook several years ago, I can't remember Apple started selling devices which wasn't in perfect order.

Didnt Apple have this same battery bug with a previous iPhone ? wasnt it the 4 ?
Ive been using smartphones for years now with the same bug and none smartphones with battery meter bugs. Its not a big issue for me with phones ive had if im aware of it, but it can be a deal breaker for people not in the know.
Its not really a big deal really more so for Apple if users can update quickly over the air. Does the 4S make it known with a popup ?

in another topic I was mentioning that from the first iOS5 beta we saw huge battery problems but many bug reports later each beta over 3+ months improved that... but even the beta program is limited such that until the software goes mass market not every issues can be resolved. iOS 5 was a huge upgrade when you take into account the whole icloud (hence frequent online actvity) functionality and not even Apple are immune to the usual sdlc issues of any major project.
Agreed its unusual for Apple though I'm not much of an apple user outside of iphone and having a mac for development but as market pressures affect Apple as they do any other manufacturer I suspect we'll see a few more unexpected issues from time to time.
I've always said for many years that these battery issues are blown well out of proportions give that most of us go home and plug our phones in without a thought... and more recently we do so in order to sync our latest data/emails/podcasts/whatever... so those that think we should expect days and days from modern device are just fooling themselves... perhaps when we get nuclear power in our mobiles but until then... be realistic!

yeah, I've jailbreaked with redsn0w in the past but I no longer see any need since iOS 5 as the apps I paid for and used in jailbreak are now covered by iOS 5 functionality... so no more need for me
