iOS 7 is absolutely destroying my 4S's battery life on.
I'm getting about 2 hours of use out of it before it's completely dead. Yesterday it died around noon from very little use. It seems to just eat resources while not in use. Maybe there's some backend GPS stuff going on that I'm not seeing or something.
Luckily, I can keep it plugged in and charging basically everywhere I am throughout the day, so it hasn't been too big of a deal. Just a bummer.

heres what I found (I have reverted to iOS6 for the time being... can't live without Runkeeper working properly!)
Siri: no longer tells you the current humidity (brings you to the Wiki on what humidity is). If you ask whats the weather like in "Some other city" it brings up the forecast with no audio of what the current conditions are.
General:
Menu bars get duplicated on each other every once and a while.
General slowness compared to iOS6.
The screen does not redraw correctly and takes a second or two to fill in the sides on occasion.
Battery life is awful, had to charge every three hours minimum. (One more reason for long runs I could not live with it for now.)
Music will stop playing for a second if streaming it to AppleTV and you do anything on the iPhone (open an app, etc).
iPhone randomly restarts 5-6 times a day if not more.
Many apps are dirt slow now (Facebook for example takes for ever to open)

No it's not. On the taller iPhone 5 the controls and text are above the album art. But on the 4S it's smaller and the text et al ends up overlapping the album art and becomes impossible to read or see because of the removal of the background overlay.
Maybe someone can post a screenshot of both devices?
The 3G was always pitifully slow. Adding features only highlighted this fact
Apple sourced their map data from a third party. They were never going to remap the world in a matter of months.
I do not refer to "new features" iOS4 brings to 3G. Basic function like typing is actually fine on 3G period to iOS4. Many found typing in 3G lag a lot in iOS4 beta but Apple never "fix" such lag for 3G. Is typing on iPhone3G a heavy task that require 800Mhz CPU and 256MB memory to process?
Not only map data, Apple never fix the POI problem from it's map app. Though many fanboies had claimed "it's beta, Apple will fix it on formal release". After one year, Apple map still far from usable outside USA.
