The problem leading to these issues, according to popular tech blog thenextweb, is related to a bug found in devices such as the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch running firmware 6.1 – in fact, it isn’t so much a bug as it is plain bad programming. In this case, an endless sync loop that frequently occurred in the default iOS email app.
iOS 6.1.1 was released in part to fix this loop, but according to tomshardware, it didn’t work, and users continued to experience the battery issues.
So, Apple finally released iOS 6.1.2, which, according to Chitika, became the most popular iOS firmware, quickly getting installed on a whopping 35 percent of iDevices in less than a week. As it turns out, Apple had discovered yet another bug in their firmware, related to the Exchange calendar. This bug sometimes resulted in increased network activity and reduced battery life. With the release of 6.1.2, the problem was patched, and the battery life issue was finally resolved.
So if you notice that your battery is draining way too fast, check to see if your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad is running iOS 6.1 or 6.1.1 – if so, it is highly recommended that you upgrade to iOS 6.1.2
