Developers who have been testing Apple's iOS 5 update for the iPhone range say that it does improve battery life, notably by reducing the amount of times that the phone uses location sensing.
A number of people who have tested the 5.0.1 beta update, released by Apple earlier this week, told the Guardian that they have noticed improved battery life after they installed the update.

The update will be available "over the air", so that it will not require a computer for installation.
