ios7 ***** battery life! Any ideas?

You may want to turn off (or limit) the background app refresch. Look in Settings > General > Background App Refresh.

What carrier are you using? I'm having issues on Verizon. There is some testing going on showing that this MAY be a bug. http://www.extremetech.com/computing/166884-iphone-5-battery-life-is-significant ly-reduced-by-ios-7

It's really odd. Yesterday, my battery life seemed great. Didn't just slowly die on standby. This morning, I'm losing battery life just sitting on the same area of my desk as yesterday. I'm closing all apps in the background, have turned non essential location services off, etc. I'm hoping it's a bug that gets figured out soon. Thankfully it seems that the tech sites have tested and see an issue as well. That may help push this along.

Did you turn off "Background App Refresh" in the Settings>General menu? Automatic app updates?

Someone posted it may be related to wifi. I turned my wifi off and it SEEMS like the drainage has slowed. Anyone else able to confirm this? Could be since I'm on the edge of wifi coverage the antenna is powered up and draining battery quicker than usual?

You may also want to double check all your Push,

Notifications, and Location Services settings. It is

possible some may have inadvertently changed.

iOS7 is a failure. It's like going back to the orginal iPhone. Maybe your battery dies because now every default app you open has a WHITE background.........

Disregard, as soon as I started Texting it started draining again. Who knows. Maybe it's the messages app. Seems like when I text it drops fast.

I am having the same issue: IOS 7 on iPhone 5 with Verizon and my battery life is in the tank!

Having same issue with battery. Figured I'd add a comment to increase visibility of post.

Verizon iPhone 5 on iOS 7. Battery life is HORRIBLE, now. LTE is off, location services turned off for almost all apps, background app refresh is off, paralax effect is off....come on.....this is a cluster eff.

iPhone 4S, update to iOS7, battery life now *****

Turned off update apps in background.

Noon 100%, 5:30 60%.

Sprint iPhone 4S, iOS7 everything under the sun turned off. Accessibility, Background App Refresh, Privacy/Location Services you name it. Before the update, amazing battery life and half that stuff was on. After the update its like they shot a hole in the milk carton.

With ios7 on my iPhone4s doing nothing

100% charge to 25% took 4 hours even turning off

Background app refresh

Cellular data

Bluetooth

Location services

You cannot restore back to ios6, so at this time

I would hold off until there is a fix

I will charge the phone up and set in plane mode

And see what happens. It could be wifi related

Cheers
