[QUOTE="milessthomas, post: 1539040, member: 27943"] Wanted to add in a little perspective on iOS 7 on the Verizon iPhone 5, for people that may be reluctant based on this post. It would seem there is merit in being reluctant to upgrade, as the unofficial first line of support for iPhone and other Mac hardware in the company I work at I've had the opportunity to see the issues. All of my coworkers with the Verizon iPhone 5 have reported that since upgrading to iOS 7, they have seen a drastic reduction in battery life. Employee 1 indicated that they unplugged at 7am, sent 4 text messages, listened to music installed on the iPhone itself (not streaming) for 30 minutes and his phone was dead by 2:00pm. Employee 1 indicated that after turning off background app refresh among a few other settings not being utilized, that he got approximately 5 hours a day in standby mode, and it has not improved with resets, power cycles or use. DISCLAIMER: I have not upgraded my VZW iPhone 5 to iOS 7, because I never upgrade to first releases until they've had a chance to work out all of the bugs. Plus, I use this phone for work all the time and can't experience any issues at this time. I didn't even upgrade to Mountain Lion on my MBP until two months ago because the battery issues with older MBP's still hasn't been resolved. I still wouldn't have if software requirements didn't force the upgrade from Snow Leopard. Not sure what's going on with this revision of the iPhone 5, as it is much the same hardware as Sprint's and I haven't heard of any issues there. Although, with this information and the link below to the test by extremetech on a VZW iPhone 5 I will definitely be waiting for the next official release update to see how things are resolved.
