Is it just my phone or does the iPhone 4S use to much battery life?

I have a iPhone 4S and i'm willing to go for a 5 or wait till the 5S or what ever it will be called for literally no other reason then battery.one thing i love is though is iOS so i won't go for a android phone. Any other 4S users have this battery problem.

Yes I have the same iPhone 4S, and I have the same problem.

Are you closing out your apps? According to apple, it doesn't matter, but everyone I've known who complained about battery life has noticed a difference.

Hit the big button twice so the only icons are those on the bottom of the screen. These are your open apps. Hold your thumb down on one until they start jiggling and have a little minus sign. Tap the minus sign to close the app. Close them all. Your battery life will double.

Yes, i agree with Artemisc. Closing your apps will increase battery life. I had this phone & never experienced any problems with it's battery.
