Anyone else having battery issues since updating to iOS 7?

After updating my iPhone 4S to iOS7, I noticed a horrible drain on my battery! From 100% to 62% in less than two hours... I have tried shutting off Bluetooth and even disabling refreshing background apps, and have my screen brightness set at less than 45% but it is still draining fast... Is anyone else having this problem and does anyone have any idea why?

iPhone 4S, iOS 6

Same here: The first night after the update to iOS 7, last night, I charged the phone like I usually do before I go to bed and when I woke up it had gone from 100% down to 30 something%. I had to get out the door but it was like 34% but 39% would have been just as bad. This never happened to me before. In fact, I used to praise my iPhone for being so battery friendly so what gives? In the past, overnight, I would only see a 5% +/- 3% point drop, tops! This is derisory!

I'm having the same problem, only my phone was charghing when dropped battery life. Now my phone is plugged in and compeltely dead, and nothing makes it so that it charges or turns on. Taking a trip to an apple store today. I had amazing battery life before this update. The problem is my warranty is over, but it's not like I want a new phone. I want them to fix whatever they did to mine.

I'm on the phone with apple right now and the WORST thing you can do is plug it into iTunes and press the power and home buttons. That forces it into recovery mode. Your best bet is to do a hard reset if you don't want to lose any data. Call them and see if they can help you. She said that because it's because of the update they shouldn't charge you.

Just talked to apple. First they said there was an upgrade available for the sofware. They also said if you are sill having issues we will replace it. Then she said hold on and was gone for a few minutes. When she came back the story had changed. She said wait for the upgrade then if it is still bad to call lback and they would see what they could do. I have a case number now for what ever that might get me. The calls for the battery issue to apple have no charge so you should all call in and complain...
