I understand iOS7 will govern abuse/excessive background fetching. But seems unfortunate it can't cater for legitimate scheduled background fetching - e.g. updating all my podcasts every day at 8am. In this case my phone would be plugged in anyway, so the battery concern is moot - there are other cases where I'd accept a substantial battery drain to run a process I've approved.
From other comments it sounds like iOS might figure out I like to listen to podcasts en route to work and learn to pre-fetch. But I don't want to rely on it noticing this or wait for it to learn.
I have a mix of Android and iOS and it's for this use case that Android handles all my podcasts.
