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.

The battery issues are the latest of iOS 7 problems.

As Latinos Post reported, the syncing to the music app has proved to be an issue for some iPhone owners. In addition, iOS 7 users have stumbled onto iMessage and Facetime issues immediately after downloading the latest Apple mobile operating system.
