Ios7 battery drain

On a iPhone5 you should not have these problems.

You have to set settings optimal for iOS7 to reduce the battery usage:

Why have so many people suddenly been found to have defective batteries upon installation of iOS7? I am leaning to that assumption now after 4 clean installs but it does seem a heck of a coincidence.

It's a discussion on iOS7 battery life, my post is 'on topic' so how on earth have I derailed the thread??

The iPhone 5 first selling day was 23 sept last year, so it has an extremely high chance that it is still under warranty.

Apologies for being so late to this discussion. Just today my ios7 updated iP5 started leaking battery power at an amazing rate. I've tried all the tricks essentially dumbing the phone down to an iPhone 4. It even loses battery life in airplane mode. Contacted apple, awaiting response, no apple stores on Maui.

Basically, after careful evaluation, IOS 7 drains the iphone 5 at a rate of 1% every 60 to 120 seconds if doing any of the fol:

Any browsing

Any calls

Any radio/speaker

All these observations noted with all the normal power hogs turned off (notifications app refresh etc and minimal brightness)!!!!

Apple support confirmed it as a KNOWN ISSUE. And that a replacement likely to have the same issue.

Thank you. Not going to cut it and will be looking for a different phone!

Have the same problem. Cannot leave the office without a charger. Hope this will be solved soon...

Theoretically, Iphone's usage time is 4.5hrs(Screens are always on). 8hrs usage is impossible.😁

Generally iphone will be charged 3 times one day.

I carry the Mobile Power (10000mA) all the time.😉

I repeat: warrantee.

My iPhone5 holds 20 hrs, with texts, 2-3 calls, internet 1-2 hours, local apps.

Beisarius, mine also same as yours draining when browsing 1 percent drop every approx 2-3 minutes.

Ios 7.0.3 ip5.

How at the end?

As I mentioned earlier, Apple Sr support did remore SMS diagnostics and confirmed my usage was not right. They replaced the iPhone with one sent from their special replacement warehouse.

The new one is great- drains more than iOS6 but not like the defective unit. So a charge will last me 1-3 says. If using it, minimum 1-1.5 days.

Got an iPhone 5, thought I install iOS 7 and yes, the same problem. Draining battery in a couple of hours.

Followed all the settings-tips for battery savings...nothing much that helped except switching off SIRI.

So after my battery was fully charged, I reset all settings and then unplugged it from charger.

Tested a bit..using WIFI, I can't get the battery to drain it seems. With all settings at non-saving..(like auto update, running of apps in the background, everything that has been said to reduce battery drain), it looks much better than before.

With WIFI off, 3G data on it will start to drain but much slower than before.

Need to check how long this will hold. Planning to drain the battery completely and then a full recharge.

Both my husband and i noted significant battery drain after upgrading our iphones to IOS7. It is not coincidence that our phones were dead after 3 hours . We both used to get 2 a,most 3 days on a charge. There can not be. That mNy faulty iphones out there that were eunning well on IOS6 only to develop problems only when updated. The internet is full of complaints regarding unusually high battery drain with this update. Even with changing settings, i notice my battery dropping signifcantly during phone calls. Forget texting, or using any aps, the battery is dead within half a day

Shame on Apple. I am leaning towards scrapping my phone in favor of an android
