Is it just me, or is my iPhone 4s and iPad 2 losing battery power quicker

Question

Before iOS update the ipad 2 and iphone 4s made it through the entire day. After updating to iOS 6, my devices hardly make it through the whole day. iPhone makes it half way through the day and the iPad just barely makes it. I never have the location on or bluetooth. WIFI is sometimes, but thats not the point. It always made it through the day, always. That's why I got the phone. I've used the iphones since 2007 and Apple knows it. This is the worst I've seen it, and I am losing my likes for this phone. I am not going to buy the iPhone 5 to solve the problem.

Answer 1

My 1 month old IPAD 2 (Christmas for my wife & I) Wifi worked fine before I had to go out of town just after upgrading to 5.  Bought a Verizon MiFi 4G LTE wifi hot spot while out of town, really nice with really great data rates. 
Then I came home to the apartment.  Ipad worked fine last night, while updating my magazines, surfing, reading and playing some games.  But this morning WiFi is in and out like a yo-yo.  I have 10-30 second cycle on ALL Wifi transmitters I have access to in the building.  I cannot get one to lock on but for very short periods if at all.  (Wife is not going to like this when she gets home.)
Have even reset all my wifi settings on my router and my MiFi.  Cannot even link into an unsecured Linksys someone has in the building.  Unsat being tethered to my computer or diddling on my smartphone.
Believe this is a software/antenna coordinatation issue.  The selectivity between the signals (b/g/n & unsecured) is not being bracketed and locked onto.
APPLE:  Listen, this is NOT a router problem folks, although, as suggested in other posts, you might want to isolate to g or n to make the signal easier to lock on.  The WEP/WPA could be a problem with the selectivity being toughter when you use the higher encryption (WPA/WPA2).  One post who was desperate shifted to WEP (128-Bit) encryption.
Apple really should hire some decent antenna engineers, then match them up with the software folks.  This really should NOT be happening.  My unit has not been dropped or mishandled in any way, although it should be mildly ruggedized if United Air Line pilots are using them for enroute charts.
Will go to a WiFi isolated area where I can try my MiFi 4G wifi hotspot in an uncluttered EM environment and post my findings.  If this is not a structural problem, my guess is it will work.
Steve J.  would not be happy with the Apple Wifi H/W-S/W coordination.  Let's get this issue resovled.
