A wee pointer for anyone who normally has Bluetooth switched off - the iOS 7.0.2 install/reboot will have turned it on. (Then again, it could be that I forgot to switch off Bluetooth last time I used it and I've only just noticed... :roll: )

Exactly, given enough time and know-how, anything can be hacked, just ask Gary McKinnon. Meanwhile, the 5S's fingerprint scanner is a, umm, handy everyday solution for 'normal' users. If anyone wants to scratch their Apple-bashing itch, may I suggest they do so in a more positive way, such as...

Maybe? :?

Hmm, seems to have done the trick :) (Although I'm curious as to how/why? :?)

OK, now done. Let's see if that works. Also, I wonder if the culprit is Vodafone's hidden gubbins, which also updated when iOS 7 was installed? A YouTube geek suggests running the battery down to zero, recharging to 100% and then doing a hard reboot: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8hIcei5yjg

Weird, indeed. I've switched off all of the following: - Location Based iAds - Popular Near Me - AirDrop - Bluetooth - Mail fetch/push (set to Manually) - Spotlight - Raise to Speak - Background App Refresh - Location Services limited to Camera, Compass, Maps, Safari and Siri - Screen...

Solved: go to Mail > main Mailboxes screen > tap Edit (top right) > Accounts (bottom of screen) > tap/hold the three-bar tab on your preferred/default account's bar and slide it to the top of the list > tap Done. Overall I prefer 7's operability. But while I never liked skeuomorphism's...

Dunno if it actually makes a difference, but ... Settings > General > Accessibility > Increase Contrast > (default setting is off) Meanwhile, just done 40-ish mins of general interwebbing - incl a couple of brief BBC news vids and two 3.5-minute music vids on YouTube - and the battery's...

Oops! :doh: iOS 7 Bug Lets Anyone Bypass iPhone's Lockscreen To Hijack Photos, Email, Or Twitter

Watch out - iOS 7 will have switched off Do Not Track in Safari's settings. It's definitely faster and has many useful tweaks. But I'm miffed it's re-assigned my defalult email account from, ironically, iCloud to Yahoo, and battery-life is now poor. How long before we get 7.1? :roll:

Ah, OK, ta for insight. But has anyone else noticed their iPhone 5's battery-life has shrivelled since switching to iOS 7?

Like your theory, alas the reality seems to differ - click

Anyone else with a Vodafone iPhone 5 downloaded iOS 7? Have you noticed that battery life is now feeble? A geek site has done some tests and it seems that Verizon iPhone 5s - please note: lower case 's' is for plural, I'm not referring to the 5 S ;) - using iOS 7 have taken a significant...

Is it my imagination or is my i5's battery now taking longer to charge? :? And why has iOS 7's Mail re-assigned my default email account - ie, when I go into Mail it goes straight to the 'wrong' account's inbox? But I do like the new sounds/ringtones, new Safari has some useful tweaks, and...

On an i5 - using the phone, the 1st attempt's ETA was 5 hours, then it said: 'Software Update Failed.' Immediately tried again via my MBP and all done and dusted in approx 20 mins. Ooo, it's like having a new phone, lots of useful goodies and seems a wee bit speedier all round, but Siri now...
