iPhone 4S Battery Life Possible Temporary Fix
The iPhone 4S battery can be terrible for some. It has been widely reported online that a number of users are not getting to the end of the day (or even end of business hours) without having to recharge or let their new iPhone 4S battery die.
It appears to be more of a software issue than a hardware issue as a number of users have been testing switching off the location service for setting the the time zone.

iOS 5 on iPad 2 Security Vulnerability Spotted
Since the launch of iOS 5 the iPad 2 has gained a security issue which allows a smartcover, or any other magnet, to be used to bypass the lock screen.
Although some of the things you can do when bypassing the lockscreen are limited, if you leave an app open on your device it can allow users to get in and delete apps or use the last app you had open. If you close out the app you are last in then the user can still delete apps and look at what you have (and search spotlight), the user cannot open apps.
