Apple released iOS 4.3 about 2 weeks ago, which is a day earlier than the launch of the iPad 2. A very much welcome update for many as it adds the highly anticipated wireless hotspot to non CDMA iPhone 4 owners, besides other features like better AirPlay and AirPrint and multi-task finger gesture.

However, the hidden agenda in this iOS 4.3 update is that it sucks up more of your battery life than the earlier builds. According to topics started over at the Apple Discussions boards, many a user is experiencing a drop of anywhere from 2 to 4 hours less than before the update was applied, which is already quite painful as many iPhone users charge their phones every day.

Apple hasn’t given any official statement just yet at the moment, as usual from Apple. Our handsome JoJo who had iOS 4.3 on the first day says that his is still running very healthy, though his phone is always plugged in at home and at work so that might be the reason why.
