CPU Idling Problem In The Apple iPhone 4S? (This Stupid App Doesn’t Work!) Rev. 2.1

**MIG-31** · Feb 10, 2012, 04:51 PM

The Apple iPhone 4S might be a small upgrade if you were using the iPhone 4, but it is a huge upgrade if you are upgrading from the iPhone 3GS, as I was. Not only was the screen much sharper (albeit still the same size!), the iPhone 4S was much faster. Unfortunately, I also immediately noticed a big problem with the iPhone 4S - its terrible battery life.

Recently, my brother pointed me to a very nice app called System Monitor with Battery Max. It's a 99 cent app that allows you to monitor the hardware and software of your iDevice. What's really nifty about it was it was able to give me a live read of the iPhone 4S' CPU load. What we found shocked us - the Apple iPhone 4S had a constantly high CPU load even when it idles!

DO NOT BUY THE APP. Please check out this critical update :

- Added results for the Apple iPad 2.
- Added more details about this app's failure to account for the extra processing core in the Apple A5 processor.
