it's definitely an issue if you have background refreshing enabled on a lot of apps. or any of those motion tracking / gps apps

  I'm not sure why but Google Maps kills my battery so fast (iPhone 5s). I had to return a rental car and drove 30 minutes with directions, the battery went from 86% to 38%. I then had to figure my way back to the Airbnb I was renting via public transport, when I got home the battery was 8%. To answer OPs question, no I don't find battery is usually an issue but when I need it then it is.

    I know at least 5 people off the top of my head who gave up with Google maps because of battery life. Apple Maps is not great, but it doesn't totally kill my phone.

      Thanks I'll try it next time I drive. Unfortunately in my city Google Maps is the only app that provides public transport directions.
