Apple's latest iOS 7 came with an all-new design along with a host of different features when it was launched on 18 September.

However, with every new OS and Apple device, battery consumption seems to be a growing concern among users.

Here are some tips on how an Apple user can (unless the feature being used) save battery life by disabling certain features of the device running on iOS 7.

One can scroll down under Location and Service and can turn off Diagnostics & Usage, Location-Based iAds, Popular Near Me, Setting Time Zone, Traffic and Frequent locations to help the device run for long.
