battery drain on 7.0.6

Since I upgraded to 7.0.6 my battery drains at an alarming rate. Since 8:00 this morning I have made one call and checked email - the battery is now 51% after 2 hours! This was fine before the update.


I have cloased all apps - still have exactly the same issue. Phone gets hot now when screen is on suggestiig the processor is doing a lot of work.


Is it possible to downgrade back to 7.0.4 (I was on 7.0.4 before the update)?

iPhone 5s, iOS 7.0.6

I'm having the same issues as stated in OP's post, as well as many of the others in this thread. It noticed it with the 7.06 update as well. It was a very destinct difference. Starting with a full charge, I would still be at at least 50% by evening time. I now am at ~30% to ~45% by lunchtime. Nothing I've done seems to change this. I've noticed my iPad 2 drains quicker too. I have also noticed my iPhone 5 does not charge nearly as quick too.😮

I agree with u, we pay so much for a dam device that can not work properly, and worst of all apple does not give a **** about their clients, at least they should have addressed the issue so that we know if the solution will be solved or not, I only wished if it was possible to downgrade, would have done that at least to ios 7.0.4 or to 7.0.5 which did not give this drastical battery drain. Now my phone is a piece of brick 80% of the day it's on charge. Shame on apple

hi


they keep deleting my posts about that, but what helped me tremendously was simply switching off SIRI competely...


My phone died within 4-5 hours (new, clean install, the third new hardware in a row)... and since I switched off SIRI it holds the battery for over 24 hours even if I use it a lot...


told it to the Apple Store 'geniuses' today in Berlin, hopefully that info makes it into the next update.

Hi lookat, I think u have a point their I've been having serious battery drain after the 7.0.6 update, I did everything possible even restoring my device 2wice but their was no joy, not until yesterday that I so ur post and thought I should give it a try, frankly speaking after switching off Siri I noticed a change in the battery drain, it's less but for me it still drains but not as fast as it use too be, I hope the 7.1 update will resolve this battery issue, although I'm still waiting for feedbacks before I update thanks
