I agree wi-fi and bluetooth can drain your battery, but I don't think
they're the two biggest sources of battery drainage. I think screen
brightness would be by far the largest drain on your battery, so that's
the first thing I'd recommend lowering. I have auto brightness turned
off on my iPhone, and I have brightness set to 10%. This is still bright
enough so when I ask a sighted person for help, they can still see the
screen.
I'm not sure where all of these would rank, but automatically fetching
data, receiving push notifications and using location services would
also be pretty high up on the list of things that drain your battery the
most. there are many such articles on tips to control the battery drain
on your phone, but one such article is at

Finally, remember that your iPhone and it's battery are meant to be
used. Turn off those features you don't need or use, but don't cripple
the functionality of your device by slavishly turning off everything
that consumes some battery.

Do the same with WI_FI. Those are the two biggest battery drains. So if you
have no ear peace connected to Bluetooth and your away from your home network,
you don't need the WI_FI either. And, it can quickly be turned back on again
when need be.

Hi
Of course it's true that some apps use more power than others, but if a phone
is draining, then the most obvious explanation is that one app or another is
using the power and it's just an easy thing to eliminate.
In Mavericks, the battery menu shows you which apps are using significant
amounts of power. If there is a similar thing in IOS7, I haven't found it yet.
Reducing screen brightness is a really good one too. I always thought it
counter-intuitive that the screen curtain didn't reduce power use, but them's
the breaks.
I have absolutely no authority to back this up, but I am convinced I noticed a
reduction in power usage on my 5s after I locked the screen orientation.
