Iphone 4s ios 7 battery issues

I posted this question in the basics forum, but it probably belongs here: Since installing iOS 7 on my iPhone 4s, the battery life seems to be significantly reduced, at least judging by how quickly my battery life percentage meter keeps dropping. I've gone through and turned off all sorts of settings, like location services on most everything, etc. Is anyone else experiencing a similar issue? Anyone know of any fixes?

None of this is going to help. We will have to wait for a update. You almost wonder if Apple makes it this way to sell more 5 series phones. I mean the update has not effected any of the new iphone 5s or 5c. They should have put a warning on the update for anyone using the 4s.

I had to schedule an oppointment so the "genius" guy could tell me that the update does not work with my 4s phone. Seriously thinking of purchasing a driod. Apple makes it hard to stay loyal.

Some sad story! Don't know how regret to update to iOS7. It's almost a trap to let us iPhone4S users purchase the 5S. In iOS7.0.2, my battery life shrinks to 5.5 hours in use and 8 hours in standby. When it was in iOS6.1.2, it could survive after 8.5 hours in use and 22 hours in standby.


I've already been to the Apple store for the trouble shooting. However, the genius just check my iPhone's status, and said that the battery is in good condition (the whole capacity is 85% as a brand new one).


I think that all the problem is the iOS7's power management driver of the iPhone4S is not optimized. As for the reason...you can tell...FORCE YOU TO GET A NEW 5S!
