If the new iOS 7 is killing your iPhone battery, check these settings.

Whether or not you like the new look on your iPhone, you probably don’t like the drain on your battery with the new iOS 7 operating system. 

There are a few things you can change in your settings to get some life back:

* Wi-Fi: Turn it off. While it’s inconvenient to switch it on when you need it, the auto setting is a battery killer. The same goes for the Bluetooth setting.

* Location Services: Several applications require it - but you’re battery will last longer when it’s off.

* Time Zone: It’s a setting that automatically changes with your location. Go to System Services to find it. While you’re there, turn off Location-based iAds and Diagnostics too.

* Push settings: These zap a lot of battery. You can change those to Manual under Settings.

* Brightness: Turn Auto-Brightness on, but at the same time drag the brightness slider down as low as you dare. This will save significant energy.

* iCloud: If you don’t need to back up to iCloud, turn it off under iCloud in the Settings menu. That will save battery AND storage space.

* Siri: Give her a break. She’s constantly nibbling at your battery.
