New reports are starting to appear on Twitter that the recent iOS 5 update is having detrimental effects on iPhone battery life.


Some people are putting this down to the new notification system included in iOS 5, however we’ve been unable to confirm this so far. The problem appears to only affect some users though, with others even reporting better battery life?
Searches for iOS Battery have certainly increased this month on Google as you can see in the chart below:

Looks like Apple are struggling to keep up with demand for iOS 5 updates today!
If you’re receiving the message “internal error” or “3200”, it’s due to Apple’s servers not coping with the demand.
In fact error 3200 is now trending on Twitter as so many people are reporting the problem.
You can keep re-trying the update and maybe get through, or wait until later when things have calmed down a bit.
Don’t forget – run a backup before updating as some people are reporting lost apps having updated today.
