I used my iphone from 08:00 and it is now 20:37. Was using it the whole day and only use 23% Battery still have 77% left.
Check for apps that run in the background. It can drain your battery very fast.

Nothing running in the background, the usage was mostly Whatsapp, Twater a few photos and a short phone call. But still seems like the battery isn't lasting as long.
 
Are your task bars translucent? Mine be grey - in contrast to the rest of the screen. 4s. Any way to change it?

[edit]. Meant the quick launch bar - at the bottom, not the one at the top.

It's the same on iPhone 4. Some of the eye candy is toned down on the older devices.

Mine is also a solid colour, changes to match the background colour though.

My homepage pic has a grey background - and the bottom bar below is also grey, but it's a different colour. Was hoping it would be translucent, so that the background pic would flow into/around the bottom row of icons... Did a bit of googling - seems it cannot be adjusted.

Maybe as Morkhans suggested, it's because I'm on the 4s.

[edit] The bottom bar colour is the same as the folders colour on the home screen. So guess that's it then.

Yup does look silly.
I tried other wallpapers, it seems to disguise itself depending on the background colour.

Yip. The search is on for the perfect Parralax screensaver :)

See there are already some Tumblr sites up, offering them as downloads. Good times.

That's heavy drainage for such moderate usage.

You know your Bluetooth is on?

If you experiencing heavy battery drainage, 2 things to try are the following:

1.) when you do your upgrade and connect to iTunes setup as new device. Do not restore from backup.
2.) disable background app updates - http://howto.cnet.com/8301-11310_39-57602672-285/how-to-disable-automatic-app-updates-on-ios-7/

Will check it out.
Most of my screen savers are HD pics and designs, they don't seem to fit in with the new icons.
 
Best ios7 improvement - no more 8 tab limit in safari. Hallelujah!!!!!!
 
Must say ios7 on iPad 4th gen is awesome so far.

Love the clean look, lots of subtle design improvements - the new calendar is exactly what I've been looking for

Thumbs up
 
Update on iPhone 4S went smoothly. Feels a bit sluggish though, but otherwise totally revolutionary and so unlike apple...
Still waiting for iPad 2 download to finish.

Just came across a tip - shake your device just after you've accidentally deleted an email - it will bring up a message allowing for an "undo"...
