It would be, if it were true.
To begin with, the drop the Ars reviewer is claiming is 43%, not 48%.
I haven't noticed anything so drastic. That would mean I'd be getting just over 4 hours of battery life on iOS 7.
As you can see, I've used my phone for 3 hours and 18 minutes today and I'm at 60%. If we extrapolate from that rate of power consumption, I'm on track to get 8 hours and 15 minutes of use before the battery dies. I'll be happy to report back at the end of the day when I know for sure.
That's why his initial claim that the iPhone 5 can last 11 hours on iOS 6 seems so fishy to me. I have never, ever seen that kind of battery performance on this device. So his percentage in battery drop is likely wrong. I'd guess it's taken a 10-15% hit, max.

And? This changes nothing.
