As reported by the popular German blog Macerkopf.de, Apple is going to release iOS 5.0.2 software update next week to finally fix battery woes. The battery issues started since the release of iOS 5 and iPhone 4S to the public. Many iPhone 4S users have reported fast battery discharge. iOS 5.0.1 should have fixed the issue but it actually hasn’t.

Apple was reportedly investigating the issues in iOS 5 and iOS 5.0.1 which caused battery problems. Apple now has been reported to be releasing iOS 5.0.2 by the end of the next week.

The technology blog also reported that Apple is currently working on iOS 5.1 to bring new Siri capabilities. In other words, iOS 5.1 will make Siri smarter.

The new iOS 5.1 update is also expected to bring Maps integration with Siri to additional countries. However, the report didn’t reveal the release date of iOS 5.1.
