Since my initial post I've just been browsing macrumors and I'm down to 77% already. I guess I'll just wait and see how it is over time.
Also when I got the phone I did the restore to iOS 7 which has a bug in some cases where it won't activate with the developer servers to I went back to iOS 6 then did an update to iOS 7 which doesn't feels as clean. Could this be a factor also?
Hey, I just bought a White iPhone 5 from AT&T yesterday and immediately installed iOS 7. I've only been on safari and iTunes radio mostly and I've noticed my battery draining a lot faster then my previous iPhone. I know it definitely has to do with iOS 7 and I haven't used iOS 6 on the iPhone 5 so I have nothing to compare too. I attached my usage stats. Is this normal and if I switch back to iOS 6, from experience how long does the battery last?
Really? you bought a new IP and then you installed BETA 1 ios? and you are asking about battery?
IT'S A BETA

I pretty much have all system services turned off in location services since the days of iOS 6 if not even before--don't really see anything particularly useful from them, but do see GPS use from at least some of them at times when they are enabled.I have this config in location services and has massively improved my battery life compared to the last couple days
My battery life problem was caused by an iCloud account that wasn't syncing. (I figured it out when I realized I was missing contacts from that account.) I deleted it, then re-added it, and my contacts popped up, my phone cooled off, and my battery life went back to normal. I seem to remember this stuck syncing being the cause of a battery drain issue on a previous iOS version as well.
Fair enoughI know it's a beta and I needed to upgrade anyway. I've been using betas since iOS 5 I'm just wondering what everyone else's usage looks like and posting mine to provide other people with something to reference too.
