"Isn't really that bad"..... U are joking??. My iPhone 5 was getting 6 hours use on the same charge with ios6. For the first time ever today I am having to carry around a USB recharge unit.
And it's as well I have became below is my usage will all battery saving tips in place and screen brightness whacked rite down!
----------
Clean install.....never had to before so....how does that go again
Reset all content and settings, then restore from your iCloud backup. After I did this my iphone 5 lasted the longest I've seen in awhile before shutting off (6 hrs usage and over 1 day standby)
I'm losing around 1% every 1-3 minutes on safari... Auto brightness is turned off, wifi off, parallex off, Bluetooth off, location services off for most services..
I'm with excellent coverage.
Nothing else is running.
I don't like ios7 very much so far...
Oh and I installed ios7 on Recovery mode.

I really don't think any of the supposed fixes do much. There's clearly a big issue that happened between Beta 6 and the GM, and we're going to have to wait for a fix.

On iOS 6 I was lucky to get through a working day with more than 10% Battery left. Yesterday I got through and entire working day with 60% left...... Hence my bemusement that you think 15 hours on a battery is bad.
My standby time seems to be holding ok....it's when I use the phone for anything you can watch the battery drop off a cliff!
14:00 and down to 1%......better get my USB charger pack out.....dam that's flat too
I like the look of ios7, but it has sure wreaked this phone!

Well after a restore my battery appears to be somewhat back to normal. Not just as good as ios6 but it's now at least usable!
Judging by the hundreds of ppl I have seen on twitter moaning I think mine is a wide spread problem and lots of ppl will have to do a restore.... Problem is many them won't know how or won't be bothered and just keep moaning. Thing is... a restore shouldn't really be needed in the first place .

iPhone 5 seems to have taken the biggest battery hit with 7.0.
My 4S is just as good as it was on 6.
I did a restore, iTunes install, and set up as new. No issues.

Can you please search? There are at least 20 other threads with fixes.
P.S. check Tapatalk settings. It's set to auto refresh every 30 minutes. You may want to turn that off too.
15 hours standby with two hours of usage is TERRIBLE. You won't find a single Apple employee that wouldn't replace his phone in a second if he has tried restoring his phone's data and settings.
