I honestly can't say for sure. Just noticed on my recent trip to Canada. There have definitely been days where battery life is worse & the phone seems to work harder, but usually a reboot (sometimes to install an update or something) usually fixes it.
This time I noticed my battery life was suffering even with very little use & I cut it off for a while, but on boot it seemed to be draining all the same.
I wonder how much cell towers can request in terms of requiring a phone to work to maintain a connection as a means of active tracking.
I have read (& observed) that iphones once disconnected from cellular networks appear to work harder (and have less battery life) when they are connected to anything because they are pinging everything & reporting more.
I wonder if cell phones with inconsistent connections can trigger cellular networks to do more tracking, causing poorer battery life even with an otheriwse secure OS...?
