How's everyone's battery life?

Mine is pretty horrendous. But then again, that's been a constant issue for me since moving to ios 7 so I suspect it's something with my phone

Don't want to rant about battery but I'm sure its iOS 7 lol considering the fact that airplane mode + wifi drains just as fast as 3G and wifi

Thats not bad. I was getting around 6 hours on my 4S when I had 7.1 beta 3

My usage is at 3 hours 26 minutes. Standby 13 hours

My battery life is excellent thus far. I'm now torn on what's more important, a jailbreak or iOS 7.1

When I get banner notifications and the banner appears on top of the screen I'm not able to touch anywhere else I have to wait until the banner is gone to get back to normal use.
Am I the only one who gets a bug on that?

Thats what I'm thinking too lol. If 7.1 brings better battery life, I will more than likely come off the jailbreak. I know it will provide better functionality

I don't see any delay? How long..

Are you using the default camera app?

Yeah I'm using the native camera app. When I took pics this morning it was fine and now that I think about it, the delay probably happened because I was backing up with iCloud at the time:cant-watch: LOL

Beta 5 is not as good as beta 4 for me... but it’s still not bad... just not quite as good.

My battery life seems a tad worse but I don't have any stats to back that up. Seems very stable though. I haven't had any re springs since I installed it.

I've had one respring on my iPod touch on the lockscreen

might as well stick with stock. jailbreaking is too inconsistent

I agree.

I've been using this for awhile with iPod touch, I have to say, this is what iOS 7 should've felt like on release days.
But I imagine the thousands, maybe millions of feedback & diagnostics data from the 7.0.x is required to get to 7.1.

Battery life is better for me, also some heavier games that have performance issues like stuttering with 7.0.x are now running better = more enjoyable.

Not really. 7.1 exhibits such architectural changes as would probably have been laid down already back in the summer, during 7.0.X public beta releases period as the performance and other deficiencies of the 7.0 architecture became, at latest, evident, as well as the fact that no amount of small bug fixing or code tweaking would amend the fundamental flaws in the design. 7.1 is all about architecture, which:

attests to.

Clearly, the first 7.0 software design was quite f**ked up, either because it was put together too fast and under too great a time pressure after Forstall's departure, or because insufficient talent was alloted to the design work. 7.1 is what 7.0 should have been. Given the Maps fiasco, iOS 7.0 is already a second corroboration to the new company principle where schedules now triumph over end-user visible quality. I do not comment here whether that is good or bad, but it does seem to bring in dough, as both releases have only furthered Apple's financial success, namely, by iOS 7's being pivotal in 5S, 5C and the new iPad line-ups' marketing.

So I have iOS 7.1 beta 5 installed on my iPad rMini and it's a little bit laggy while using apps.
On my iPhone 5s it's fast as hell...

But the battery life for the mini seems great so far... It seems like the battery will last forever
