iOS 7.0.3 drains battery quickly

After updating to 7.0.3. Yesterday I see the battery draining quickly on both my iPone 5 and iPad 4.

Just playing music for 5 minutes drops the percentage 2 percent.


Yes wifi us connected, verizon for carrier.

I updated my wife's 4s and my 5s last night. My wife's was at 43% when I did it and mine was plugged in at 100%. I did not configure the keychain on the 4s but I did on the 5s. Low and behold, the 4s was at 41% this morning and my 5s was at 38%. Maybe this is causing the problem. I have since turned the keychain off on the 5s. I will post my results in 24 hours.

OK 24 hours are now up. Here is whats gone on:


Phone fully charged, Airplane mode on (Because of work regs). Key chain off. After 6 hours, the battery has 100% charge remaining.


Airplane mode off, Key chain off. 6 txts sent/recieved. 2 x 3 min voice calls made, the battery has 98% charge remaining.(2 hour period)


Key chain on, 6 calls, 12 txts, email checked (4 accounts) used sky news app, bbc app, linkedin app, weather app. Closed all apps down and left it overnight. The battery has 85% remaing as I am writing this.


The majority of my location services are turn off, same with icloud backups. Bluetooth is off. Wifi is on.



I am going to carry on running tests and I will post my results during the coming week.
