Hey all, For the most part I really am loving IOS 7. The one thing that is a concern is the battery life is horrible. I typically made it through almost the entire day with not really needing to charge my phone. Yesterday, I barely used it and I had to charge it twice. I am using an iPhone 4S on IOS 7, and know some of you have some fantastic info, and was hoping someone might be able to compile a list of checks to use to get the best battery life. I have turned that new motion option on as I read that saves some battery life. I have closed a lot of the apps in the app switcher especially all GPS apps. I saw someone mention turning off background refresh might save battery life. What am I losing by turning that off, as I thought that was one of the new features that iPhone was pushing, so by turning off I would like to know what I am disabling. I assume it means apps will only refresh when I open them, as I have noticed through out the day I would hear Downcast refresh which I thought was odd, as I have it set to refresh every 8 hours and usually manually refresh it. I do have about 200 apps on my phone so if they are constantly trying to refresh I could see that killing my battery. I have my screen curtain turned on and screen brightness turned down to 33%.
Also, if anyone got an iPhone 5S can you let us know howe the battery life is? I plan to get one when the craze dies down, but want to find out if people are having serious battery issues or any other problems.
