what about stability improvements or is its normal to safari to randomly crash and quit. Still holding out on my iphone 5 
That's not a battery drain issue. If the battery discharged 33% in the blink of an eye the magic smoke would come out.
Finally, an end to my motion sickness! I've been using my iPad less and less and haven't been all shaky for a very long period of time now, so I'm positive it was to do with iOS 7.
Agree. I'd like following choices:
1) parallax
2) reduce folder motion
3) reduce app close/open motion
still very annoying if you use newsstand in a folder. When closing the app, it fades back to newstand then the folder then the home page. 3 clicks!!
may have been a coincidence but switching from wireless > LTE > back to wireless seemed to have worked for me.
that or Apple is pushing out the update in waves to not overload CDNs like iOS 7 release

Correct. Because of an upgrade (to iOS 7) or an application issue with iOS 7 doesn't make it a native iOS 7 issue.
Long answer
but I'll try to be brief.An xcode console will show you any errors or looping processes (typically repeated authentication attempts). Restore the phone as new and don't restore from a backup, install any apps, and turn off wifi Bluetooth to confirm that the phone and iOS 7 are not the issue. At that point start slowly turning things on and start setting up e-mail accounts, installing apps, etc. But you'll need to evaluate the battery consumption between each step to determine what the problem is. Facebook has been mentioned a lot recently.
If the problem is a bug with an app, the issue might come back with that app when. You may have spotty cellular / wifi coverage and the phone is compensating. But that's the problem, someone's poor battery life is unique to them unless a particular app is called out as an issue that's affecting everyone with that app.
Personally, it's interesting to me to try and troubleshoot issues and people are resolving their battery drain with some effort like described above. One quick and easy thing is to close all your recently used apps and reset (reboot) the phone. You may find that resolves the issue, or that it resolves it for awhile and then you know and app or something is "kicking in" to cause it. Other than Bluetooth I don't believe in turning off a lot of services and features to resolve this, but it depends on the discharge rate. There is a big difference between the phone losing 1% battery a minute (which I've had) vs. it only lasting four hours when someone believes it should last six.
If I did that I'd have to charge twice a day. I charge my phone when I am at work, which is 8 hours a day. Judging by my experience if I charged it overnight it would just die while I was at work if I didn't charge it again.
Charging at work hasn't been a problem for the last few years. I'd be able to make it the 16 hours between me being at work without my phone dying most of the time. Since iOS 7 has come out at least one of my phones has died almost every night.
We aren't all having all of the issues that Apple has mentioned. That's not to say we can't hope that Apple makes some gains with a problem that many of us have experienced.
Yeah funny isn't it? I mean, what jailbreaking does is right in the name. It disables the BSD Jails sandbox that each third party application was living in before allowing a rogue application to have access to files and directories outside of its own file storage directories.
While some jailbreaks which use a remote exploit like the famous jailbreakme site used are patched by the jailbreak itself, the process of jailbreaking leaves your device completely open and vulnerable locally to trojans that might be lurking on some random repo you might add to cydia.
If you don't want to restore fresh then you should reset using settings>general>reset>reset all settings after you restore any backups. That will default the settings for the new iOS, including network settings but leave your apps and data intact. Simply go back through your settings and set like you want it after it reboots . Of course have to join any wifi networks back again and set wallpaper but this has been a known fix since iOS 5 for folks who have issues after restoring backups to a new iOS version.
Oh and plugin your phone when you go to bed. That way it will charge to 100 instead of drain to 0
Installed the update on my iPhone 5 with no problems here in Argentina.
A couple of things I noticed:
1. The phone rebooted twice. At first I thought something was wrong.
2. After the second reboot, Bluetooth was on by default. Had to manually turned it off. No big deal.
3. Animations are smoother. I got used to them. If you turn reduce motion on, the animations AND the parallax effects are both gone.
4. When changing the wallpapers, there's a delay in applying the new one and a message saying "setting wallpaper" shows up for about two seconds.
5. Flipping from vertical to horizontal view seems to have improved. There's still a delay. I will get used to it.
So far, so good.

Almost every update sees the 4/4S with much smaller OTA updates. Resources are bigger with the larger and higher density screen. Plus, I am assuming the 5s is getting fixes the 4S isn't (like the calibration fix). So it isn't that surprising.
Also thanks for the tips Pnutts and sbailey4. I wasn't aware of the xcode thing. I had considered resetting all my settings, but I still wanted to mess with some other things first.
I didn't post these comments about my battery out of nowhere. I have spent a bit of time troubleshooting my battery issues, and trying to narrow down processes that are causing a problem. I have been closing apps and disabling system services more than I ever have since 2007 to troubleshoot my battery problem.
I think iOS 7 was rushed a bit and has some bugs. I'm not demanding an immediate fix either. I am just hoping Apple makes improvements that make my overall experience better.
I may PM you in a couple days if I'm still having battery issues with the latest update.

Anyone else having trouble with iTunes W-iFi sync? On both iPhone and iPad it never completes for me. On the iPad, the only way to kill it seems to be by rebooting, and restarting iTunes.
Yes, but when? In the coming weeks, months, years??? I need it now, otherwise I'll hang myself.
I... really don't understand that mentality. What's so difficult about plugging it in at both locations? Plugging it in when you go to bed would add about two seconds to your day. So, less time then you've spent typing about a complaint about it.
In the 2 hours since the update was released? How many charge cycles have you studied?
I've never had this problem, and I use my 5s all day, using the network, sending email, texting, etc. Are you sure you don't have an app that's constantly polling for the GPS location? The fine-grained location requests require the cellular radio be powered up, and thus quickly drains the battery. Do you use wifi at work? If you are on cellular all day and you're constantly using the network, I could see that draining the battery a lot faster. If that's the case, I would at least turn off wifi while at work so it's not wasting power on the antenna.
