iOS7 and energy

Available for just a few days, the new version of Apple's operating system, iOS7, has already been extensively tested. Besides the design and new features, one of the key points is its energy consumption. The results are quite disturbing.
Whether we like it or not iOS7 , it will unfortunately spend for those who want to at least take advantage of new features and other applications. Problem of energy consumption on the old compatible devices - iPhone 4, 4S, 5, iPod Touch 5, iPad Mini and iPad 4 - increases, sometimes dramatically, with the installation of this version.
While in most cases, the loss of autonomy will be induced almost undetectable, the situation is worrying about the iphone 5. On a test of web browsing over WiFi , where, under iOS6, the unit took more than 11 hours, it runs in just under 7 hours iOS7 under the same conditions.
A bitter conclusion, especially since the iPhone 5 owners are now very numerous. Hope that Apple is aware of the problem and that things will improve with future releases. Also hope that the iPhone 5s 5c and provide reasonable autonomy. If autonomy was already a problem for you and you own an iPhone 5, you might want to wait before iOS7
