iOS7 - What a Drain.... on the battery!

With the new release of the iOS 7 operating system, Apple installed more Android-like features into the new iOS operating system. Apples new iOS has a lot of features that are based off of where your current location is. This is a great tool when exploring the world around you, but when you are out and about and go to the same Starbucks for the last 5 years, sometimes it just gets in the way.  As consumers habits the way it has become, we expect our phones to take a full work day like we do... and sometimes more.

Some wireless customers experienced a data jump on their billing cycle is this is most likely due to the upgrade of iOS7 into their new phones with all the settings turned on. Now going into settings and disabling these location settings is one way of getting a longer battery life. This feature would recommend apps whichever location you may be, this is constantly running the data on your phone to use the GPS and push you these recommendations, although a nice feature.. I would rather have longer battery life.

The new iOS has introduced automatic app updates, now this setting will automatically update all of your apps so you don't have to manually update all 1,000 apps that you hardly use on the phone. This is a good feature, however with using data and running an app update will not only eat your phones battery but it will effect the performance of the phone. Turning this off in the settings menu will solve this.

Multiapps running at the same time is now improved and enhanced for the new iOS. All the apps will run all the time in lieu of just freezing. With all the apps running in the background to give true multitasking, we dont need every facebook status update and tweet in real time.. so i recommend to close your apps, or just get off facebook altogether and jump to Google+.. =-p...

Being aware of these function will allow your phone to keep up with you because doing this is better than investing in mophie juicepacks to charge your phone on the go or constantly charging the phone which will kill the battery in under you phone-contract life. Hope these tips helped you out and thanks for reading!!!!!

Here is a video that will walk you through the steps....
