Apple on iPhone battery-life bug: We'll fix it!
(CBS/AP) - Apple says there is a problem with iOS 5, its latest mobile operating system, that is shortening the battery life of iPhones, iPads and iPods that use the software.
Spokeswoman Natalie Harrison said Wednesday that a small number of customers have reported lower-than-expected battery life on devices running iOS 5.
She said Apple has found bugs in the program and will release a software update to address them in a few weeks.
The latest iPhone, the 4S, comes with iOS 5.
Other devices can be upgraded to run the software: The iPhone 3GS or 4, iPads and an iPod Touch released in September 2009 or later.
