Remains of the Day: The power and the glory

iOS 6.0.2 was supposed to fix a recurring Wi-Fi problem. Now some users are reporting that it creates a new issue: Their batteries drain too fast. Sources tell this reporter that the bug will be fixed in iOS 6.0.3, but that update will also make the phone so hot that you will not be able to hold it.
