7.0.6 and 6.1.6 are out

I appreciate your father's service. Guam was a pretty rough battle. It's Marines like that that inspired me to follow in their footsteps.

Good friend at work, actually he was a contractor working for the IT people, was a retired Marine...was the top NCO serving at the Pentegon...when the Commandant called him in and told him one day that neither of them could get another promotion he decided maybe he should retire...faced the facts that they had both topped out 😁

Then you've made a choice that suits your needs and wants best. Have a great day!

To get save and have fully audiobook functionalily you need sslfix on 6.1. Does Apple offer 6.1.6 or have we to j**l break the phone and fix it by ourself?

Lack of audiobook function on apples music app:

Have an iPhone 5, and the battery life has dropped by approximately 35%-40% since 7.0.6 update yesterday. No apps running in the background, and no other change in daily use (maybe even less use).

No user-level apps that you can see, but the OS has plenty other processes running merrily in the background, sight unseen. Same as what happens on the Macs, whenever a new version of the OS gets installed, there will be a period of intense work that will be very power hungry. I would hazard to say that, given the common code base in both including the Spotlight search function, indexes have to be redone after an upgrade and that would account for the load spike and subsequent battery drain.

I upgraded an iPad4 and an iPhone5 on Friday night. The iPad (@84% full of 64GB storage) took quite a bit more to complete than the iPhone (48% full of 64GB). Afterwards, left the phone to charge overnight, whereas the iPad was already charged so I just put it aside in sleep mode. Next day, the phone was charged as expected, but the iPad was oddly at 81% charge, while it nornally does not discharge overnight while sleeping. Since then I have not observed unusual or different battery discharge patterns that what either did when with iOS 7.0.4.

My iPhone 5 battery life is normal since the update.

Who's your carrier?

I have Sprint and full LTE coverage... battery life is on average 17 hours.

"I would hazard to say that, given the common code base in both including the Spotlight search function, indexes have to be redone after an upgrade and that would account for the load spike and subsequent battery drain."

I would believe that if it was a 'short-lived' issue, however, it's going on day 2 1/2 and the battery drain issue is ongoing.

AT&T ... 😐
