The iOS 5 was identified to be responsible for the widely attributed power problems of the iPhone 4S. Apple immediately introduced the iOS version 5.0.1 but the update did not address the battery issue. Three and half month of investigation produced iOS 5.1 that resolved the situation. The recent software was a boon to those who were greatly displeased with Apple. The 5.1 version also featured a new slide to open camera with an alternative on the lock screen. The owners of the Apple products can download the version and thereby make the switch.
