However, it does provide a link to a pretty good app called BatterySaver by KS Mobile. Ok, so it doesn't address the problems that we've been talking about here. I've been doing a bit more digging on line and found an interesting article on power saving on the Macworld website. I'm glad that I took out the two year Apple Care+ for the iPad and my 5S in case it does turn out to be a problem with the devices or batteries. Given that the battery then shows 100% after a re-boot suggests to me that it's a software issue as opposed to a battery or phone problem. I don't think there's anything wrong with the battery as the life of it during use is no worse than my iPad 2. Bizzarely, even during the erase/reset, the battery dropped from 100% to 98% and then filled back up again in a few minutes. I've just been through the problem with Apple Support on chat, completly wiped my iPad, set up as a new user and then re-installed from a back-up. Surprisingly, some people with iPhone 4 and 4S are having the same problem yet don't seem concerned. I've done some research on the inernet and there's quite a few people who claim it's normal. I'm getting exactly the same issue with my iPad Air but not my 5S and have since posted a thread on here before coming across this one. After doing this for the 3rd time, with the phone plugged in, the battery showed 96% so I left it plugged in until it got back to 100%. Plugged it back in and it was again 100%. As soon as I plugged the phone back into the outlet, the percentage showed 100%. That said, I didn't restart the phone this morning but instead plugged the phone back into the outlet. I did this several times over the course of the week and noticed that I had to restart the phone in order to get the correct battery percentage. As soon as I restart the phone, the percentage displays correctly at 100%. With the phone (power state on) and charging, after it finishes charging the battery percentage shows 100% as well, but as soon as I unplug it from the outlet, it drops down to 97% or 96%. When the phone is restarted and charging, after it finishes charging and I unplug the phone the battery percentage shows 100% and everything appears okay. That's when I started noticing the problem. With the iPhone 5s, I still do this but I've gotten lazy and would sometimes plug the phone into the outlet without first turning it off. This would cause the phone to turn on by itself as soon as I plugged it into the outlet. With my previous iPhone 4, I always turn off my phone before plugging it in to recharge. The issue is that the battery indicator is not displaying the correct battery percentage. I'm not sure if this is an issue with the new iPhone 5s or the iOS 7.0.3 update.
