An open letter to Apple re: iPod Touch battery life
Dear Apple,
Even in iOS 4.1 you refused to fix a major battery drain problem with the iPod Touch 3G/iPhone 3GS. I HAVE A SIMPLE SOLUTION FOR YOU APPLE: make it so that Wi-Fi doesn’t stay on when the device is in standby mode, like in 3.1.3. It really bothers me that I have to turn on Airplane Mode whenever I’m not using your device so that the battery doesn’t drain LITERALLY 85% overnight. Literally. Persistent Wi-Fi is a bug, not a feature. There is FIGURATIVELY steam coming out of my ears about this right now. Figuratively. If you introduce a major glitch of this caliber, it should be your responsibility to fix it as soon as possible. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Nathaniel B. Thierer
