iOS 7.1 - Battery Drain (merged)

15 mins on treadmill with Nike+ on my arm, an hour of playing rdio on speakers, full volume, screen mostly off but sent about 10 iMessages and checked Facebook a couple of times, all on WiFi = 83%.
Not too bad IMO.
Edit:
Forgot to say, in day to day use I do seem to have about 5-10% less than usual at the end of a working day.

All depends what you've been using it for during those 5+ hours. Your battery life looks nothing stellar.
Tapa talk and twitter for 3hours this morning, whilst waiting for some work to be done at the garage tbf took it off charge at work yesterday afternoon.Battery life has been good for me so far since owning an iPhone. I remember an old colleague of mine getting a 3GS and going out on site with with finding him locating the nearest unused PC I'm an office so he could sneakily charging his phone and this was only midday!!
Overall, it seems better, but there are days when my IP5S will drain far more quickly than normal...nothing running no apps open. I don't think they've nailed it yet.
Not normal for sure. My 4S is still at 100% after 10 hours stand by and then goes down to 99%.
It wasn't like this when I was on 7.0.6, but now my battery operates pretty much as when my phone was on 6.1.3.
If I were you, I would try clean DFU restore without using a previous backup

Has your battery life decreased since iOS 7.1? Mine has.
I own an iPhone 5c and iPad mini 1 both are less than 5 months old- so you would think that a 4 month old product should have great battery performance. When ios7 was in use(and all of the other updates leading to 7.1), I had great battery life- my iPhone 5c lasted 3 days on a full charge and my iPad lasted about 5 days. Since the new iOS 7.1 update, my iPhone lasts about a day and my iPad lasts about a day and a half- It is terrible. I have thought about my one year Apple warranty and thought maybe I got unlucky and got two Apple products with defective batteries- or maybe it is 7.1.
Is there anyone else with a similar problem? I'd love to hear your story and tell me if you had a solution or what you have done about it.
Thanks for any and all replies, I do appreciate it.

My battery life was great from 7 to 7.0.4, got worse under 7.0.6, then 7.1 fixed it for me and now it is even better than 7.0.4.
There have been several threads on the battery life on 7.1. Some have seen less battery life but for the most part, for others, the battery life was equal or better on 7.1
Battery life seems about the same to me.
