I have had an iPad 4 for about a year and a half now, and everything was pretty much great until iOS 7. Then I noticed a HUGE drop in battery life. There isn't a trouble shooting question anyone could ask me that I haven't answered. I keep my screen at 50% power, I have my auto off set for 2 to 5 minutes. I don't have a huge number of messages, notifications or anything coming in, and I don't even have a ton of apps running.
I have been swapped twice, so far, and each time the problems are the same. A movie kills my battery in as little as 2.5 hours (from 100% to 0). 10 minutes of facebook drops me 10%.
My most recent device, which I have only had for a week, has been pretty good, but is already starting to show signs of the same issues. A week ago, I ran a test, running movies, and got the promised battery life. But, last night I used my ipad intermittently for about 20 minutes of music playback, then my son played Angry birds for an hour. It took me from 100% to about 50%. There is no way, even with the battery consumption of 2 D games, that an hour should kill 50% of my power.
Also, each time my device got swapped (twice so far), diagnostics showed that my battery life was hovering just in the green, at about 80%, after just a handful of months, and nowhere near the 250 recharges needed to drop battery life by 20% permanently. My most recent trade out couldn't be charged above 80% capacity after only 4 months of use. As they put, it, still in the green, but it shouldn't be dying that quickly.
I have also ready similar posts, though it's been a while. My next step, if I have to bring my current one back is to ask for a mini retina as my next replacement. Not, because I actually want one, but because it actually plays well with iOS7 and gets all the promised battery life, without any excuses.
If anyone has a magic answer that Apple is missing (they have, of course, suggested I trade in my iPad for a new one), I would appreciate it.
