Take a look at this chart produced by ArsTechnica that reveals how iOS 7.1 affects the battery life of your mobile device.

The site performed a Wi-Fi browsing test on numerous devices to compare battery life to iOS 7.0.6. Most scores differed by just a few percent which is considered to be within the margin of error.

The first-generation iPad mini is the only one to lose a significant amount of runtime in our test—it gets about 10 percent less life out of a single charge. We'll be running the test again to verify this particular data and will update this article if we see different results. In the meantime, it's probably safe to say that unless something is wrong with your hardware, you'll get about the same battery life out of iOS 7.1 that you got from 7.0.

How has your battery life been on iOS 7.1? Better or worse, let us know in the comments!
