use iOS 7 for a day and a half and during this whole period, besides crashes, resprings and other normal problems for a beta version, I can say that the main problem of the operating system is the battery autonomy. Since iOS 6.1.3 Vodafone, Orange and Cosmote have completely eliminated the possibility to deactivate the connectivity of 3G networks through a Carrier Bundle Update that allows us to access their networks LTE 4G. Practically now, no matter what we do, we cannot disable the 3G connectivity of the terminals, the only way they can connect to EDGE/GPRS is the lack of 3G signal in a certain area.
Yes, it is good to have high download speeds and the possibility to make HD voice calls, but unfortunately the constant use of 3G destroys the battery autonomy. In most houses in Romania, the 3G signal fluctuates constantly, these fluctuations are strongly felt in autonomy, and the weaker the signal, the more it fluctuates and the more the battery decreases. If we also add the fact that at night you have to leave the terminal connected to 3G under the same conditions, you end up staying with it glued to the socket all the time you have it at home.
Let's say that at home it wouldn't be a big problem, but when you leave home what happens? If in iOS 6.x I used to get about 1.5-2 days between charges, now I have to charge the terminal iPhone 5 every evening although I used it mainly at home connected to a Wi-Fi network. Fluctuations of the 3G signal in the background greatly reduce the autonomy of the battery and I am extremely curious to see how Apple will solve the problem, considering that everything depends on mobile phone operators and bad 3G networks.
Yes, it is true that this is a beta version of iOS 7, but I am extremely convinced that in the final version we will have the same useless toggle for LTE and the problem is that we will not be able to remove it.
