Grrrrrrrr I am so angry today! I had the constant reminder on my iPhone that i needed to update to iOS7 so I finally did.
WHAT.IS.GOING.ON??? My battery is constantly dying and I just don't even recognise my phone. Anyone else having issues with iOS7...or just me? :mad:

Check for the Background App Refresh..

What phone is it?

Reset network settings is always a good one for curing high battery drain.

Never give in. iOS6 for life.

I will echo what was said above... I bought an iPhone 5S (pre-installed with iOS7 obviously) and the battery was worse than my iPhone 4. Both the usage and standby time were exactly the same which was confusing (all apps were closed). I turned off background app refresh and reset network settings (and one other thing which I can't remember now) and now my battery seems to be alright (usage and standby times differ)

Never mind the battery - it is butt ugly as well...

There's nothing a matter with iOS 7 at all my battery on my iPad Mini can last a good two days. It may be a hardware fault or the software needs to be fully restored not updated to ensure it's a clean install.

i had to do a full restart from fresh to get anywhere good with ios7 on my 4s

still slower than 6 though !

Doing a full restore and not using the old iOS 6 backup cured my problems with battery. Apparently a lot of people had problems with corrupt backups causing battery issues when updating. You will get used to using iOS 7 soon enough. There are some really nice features such as the menu you can pull up from the bottom to turn wifi etc on quickly.
