Please offer some kind of reference supporting your claim that the arm chip in the iPhone 5s is power inefficient.

You mean the ARMv8 processor that doesn't exist? How about the fact that the iPhone 5S includes a significantly higher capacity battery, but in any CPU usage scenario sees a sometimes significant longevity regression.

So iOS 7 plays no part in power consumption? only the CPU? how about apps?

This is AnandTech's iPhone 5s battery review: http://www.anandtech.com/show/7335/the-iphone-5s-review/9

The 5s outperforms iPhone 5 in four out of five tests. Regression was only seen in one scenario. The thing is, I don't remember coming across any smartphone review, iPhone or otherwise, that single out the CPU as the source of power consumption change. It's always a combination of different factors.

Now it's totally possible that the new CPU is a power pig as you claimed. Unless you can provide proofs that validate it, though, I have to agree with others that you're making it up.

If there was a reference to support your claim, you would have provided one. As I said before - you're just making this stuff up.
