I've noticed battery "issues" along with other issues since 7.0.3. Of note, it dropped from 100% down to 50% in a matter of about 2 hours with nothing other than wifi on checking mail. No maps, no background apps, just mail.

IT dropped from 50% down to 40% in a matter of 10 minutes. I rebooted the phone and switched over to the iPad (Woz style multi tasking and redundancy).

The phone dropped from 40% down to 7% in the matter of an hour after that. Instead of charging it, I decided to let it keep going. Shortly after, it was at 1%.

The phone stayed at 1% battery life with cellular and wifi on, still just checking mail.... for 5 more hours before shutting off.

So.... I think it's a battery calibration issue and the battery might not actually be as low as it is reporting. I'll keep testing, but I'd recommend trying to let it keep running till it shuts off, then charge it completely.
 
iOS 7.0.3 battery life even WORSE than 7.0.2

Battery has improved slightly since I turned off Background App Refresh. iPhone 5 7.0.3

New member here but been looking at this thread recently.

I have an iphone 4. I have wifi on all day at home and when out only use Cellular

I have all the usual teenage apps. Snapxhat, Instagram, Facebook, etc.

I have ios 7.0.3 but I reckon drainage started before I updated to 7.0.3. I have a feeling one of my apps when updated has done something

I recently compared my usage stats to my sisters new iphone 5 and they were pretty similar.

So I'm not sure whether you would consider those normal or a but off ? I seem to think that when I'm on snapchat, searching on safari, sound cloud app, Instagram, Facebook my battery percentage will go down at least 1 percent every 5 minutes but maybe it's just me.

Anyway I've rambled please let me know ?

Oh and I have down usual tips in making ios 7 battery last longer etc.
