Apple Confirms Battery Life Issues With iOS 5, Software Update Coming
Apple issued a statement to The Loop's Jim Dalrymple about customer complaints of poor battery life with the new iPhone 4S and iOS 5:
A small number of customers have reported lower than expected battery life on iOS 5 devices. We have found a few bugs that are affecting battery life and we will release a software update to address those in a few weeks.”
There have been a litany of complaints about iPhone 4S and iOS 5 battery life ever since their release last month. A number of solutions have been proposed by the community for this problem, including turning off Time Zone detection, Bluetooth and others.
Apple has already seeded developers with a 5.0.1 beta that is said to address the issue.

That line gets me every time.
...I think the bug was called "windows mobile 6.5" or something... hmm..</sarcasm>
Clearly, this is a software issue. I had it since Beta 1. Beta 6 fixed it, Beta 7 was bad once again.
Wow, really incredible.
It's all about you, nobody else matters.
