My battery has been horrible since the latest IOS update. I'm charging it 2to 3 times per day. Anyone else having issues?
iPhone 5s, iOS 7.1.1

Do you really need to know that so you can get your issue addressed?

Yes I do, since before I updated to 7.1.1 my battery usage was fine. New update, poor battery performance.
I don't have access to those demographics. I know the person who does, but when he needs an iPhone fixed, he asks me. Let me know how that demographic research pans out.
I'm having exactly the same problem. I have to charge 3 times a day and my phone doesn't even have any apps or other battery consuming stuff
Read the blog post as mentioned by Dirty Vegas to determine if it is a hardware or software issue (usage time is equal to stand-by time).
In my case a rogue app which i had on my phone already since iOS7.04 caused the drain after an update to IOS7.0.6. and still with iOS7.1 I removed the app and now my iPhone is fine again.
I fully charged my 5s before I went to bed, got up this morning, my standby time, was 7h 9 min, my usage time was 7h 9m. It was 100, when I looked at it this morning, it was 67%. My usage time and standby time are exactly the same. BIG problem.
My ipad 4 has changed overnight from my constant work companion to a dead weight in my briefcase half way through the day !
Before OS upgrade I could surf and email all day on and off plus use dropbox and Pages. Now I don't get last lunchtime, and it is taking longer to charge as well.
Whilst working this morning I was watching the percentage dropping almost every couple of minutes.
I have rebooted, hard booted etc etc, turned everything off and tested that standby is functioning correctly, the drain is all during normal usage.
This could be imagination, but there does appear to be more heat generated around the power switch top right rear.
I have been a user for some time, this is not imaginary - assistance please !!
I went the nuclear option route, the "erase all data and settings" option. Just back up to the cloud first. It worked, no more drain issue. So far, so good.
same here with ios 7.1 batter life was good, ever since update to 7.1.1 i am charging a few times a day. the same apps.
I joined this thread because the same thing is happening to my iPhone 4s since latest IOS update.
I have confirmed that, with no use of the device at all (sleep mode) the USE Time and STAND-BY Time are exactly the same.
I too am charging 2 to 3 times per day after upgrading to 7.11 on an iPhone 5s. Battery life was OK before upgrade.
To everyone;
The link in my first post has the steps to put your battery useage on the correct track. Use those steps or don't use them - the choice is yours.

Joining this thread to complain has no useful purpose.
Thank you for your helpful and generous reply and demeanour. Regrettably the steps in your post have not improved the problem, so I shall go to Apple and avoid disturbing you further.
Like I said in the above post, back up to iCloud, then use the erase all data and settings option. It will reboot your phone to a as new state, when you restart, choose back up from iCloud. I did these steps, and my phone is working properly again as far as battery usage and all other functions.
I have the same problem which occured right after updating to 7.1.1, which pretty much points to the update being the culprit. It's not about apps, settings or usage that may drain your battery, it's about something in the update which messed up battery life. Apple should pay attention to this and fix it asap. It's goddam annoying!
