Battery performance in iOS 7



First impression was great. iPad looked as if it is a new device. So much cooler and fresh outset .

iPad mini used to be the best tablet I used regarding battery power. But after iOS 7 upgrade, it started draining faster. One thing of course is I used it extensively as it is impulsive to see all the app updates and do upgrading.
Yet after all the excitement gone, and life settles back on iPad, I still find battery performance is not as it is used to be on iOS6.

So here's a very comprehensive guide, explained step by step to avoid unnecessary drop of battery. The best I saw ploughing through many articles.

It worked. (Make sure you do all the steps described)
Not to the extent of magical iOS 6 times, but still is a better option.
Many thanks to thameera for been the sounding board when things went wrong.

That's a great guide. Removing the parallax effect (Reduce Motion) is a real battery saver.
And thanks for the mention :)

Exactly. So much drain for nothing special. I found others in the list also helpful.
I switched to a black static wallpaper. Does it also save battery, as been mentioned in lot of forums?

Yeah, dynamic wallpapers drain the battery. Applies for Android as well.
