In Matarese's reported, he noted one iPhone 5 owner's battery running at twice the rate it normaly runs at.
A potential solution has been provided. For iOS 7 users experiencing battery drainage issues, it has been recommended to turn off Air Drop, Wi-Fi searching and to dim the display screen. A fourth technique to save battery life is to disable the "Background App Refresh," which functions to update apps even when you're not using them.
