I have heard lots of people say that battery drains too quick on iPhone 5s after updating to iOS 7.1. What about battery drain problem on previous versions of iOS 7 before 7.1?
iPhone 5s, iOS 7.1
I've never experienced battery drain issues. Where are you going to get earlier versions of iOS?
There have always been problems for some users with the battery life after software updates, iOS 7 was no exception. I'm using iOS8.1.3 on my 5s and have no problems.
Maybe also take a look at this page about battery drainage
It doesn't matter anyway. You can no longer install iOS 7 on your phone...You can only update to the latest version supported by your phone, which currently is 8.1.3.
Pogster, I am getting one from eBay that was manufactured in december 2013. That one might have iOS 7.0.5
ingo2711, how much battery drainage do you experience on using 3g like percentage drop per 5mins, 3 mins ...
Is it true that replacement phones doesn't have good batteries ?

If you get a replacement phone from Apple, it will have a brand new battery.
Well, as you were already told, it really won't matter. You can no longer install iOS 7 on your phone...You can only update to the latest version supported by your phone, which currently is 8.1.3.
Hi Adam, i have found few models of iPhone 5s that have different versions of iOS 7 like iOS 7.0.4, iOS 7.1.1 and iOS 7.1.2. thats why i am asking...
Right now:
Usage: 1hour, 6 min.
Standby: 11 hours
Battery at 88%
If you don't want to buy a phone running iOS 8, choose iOS7.1.2, that has been the latest for iOS7.
But, if you ever have to set back your phone to factory settings, the newest software will be installed, iOS 8.x.x
Thanks for that Ingo. I was wondering too if i have iPhone 5s with one of the version of iOS 7, can i download and use the apps from app store. Will they be compatible

The depends on the app. Is there some reason why you don't want to install iOS 8?
Yes. batter drain problem in iOS 8 and after update iOS 7.1. I am currently using apple replacement iPhone 5 with iOS 8.1.3 running and it hardly gives me 2 and half hour on 3g for full battery. Thats why i want to go back to iOS 7 version before iOS 7.1 atleast.
Which version of iOS 7 is best for iPhone 5s with regards to battery draining problem ?
