Prob get a couple more min but man this thing last a long time lol
Going strong...
My battery life so far
If post #222 and post #223 doesn't sum up the problem with the iOS 6/Iphone 5.....I don't know what else can.
Just look at the disparity in the two results. There is something bad going on.....and I hope it's not another 'antenna' like/hardware problem with a free bumper as a "fix".

Not everyone is unhappy with their battery life... I am getting through a full day with moderate use - about 60% of my day on LTE and finishing up with more that 30% battery remaining... I'm not saying that you and others aren't seeing less, but just because some are seeing less doesn't mean that everyone does.
Give Apple a chance to update the iOS with the typical battery tweaks that follow a major release before jumping off a ledge.
You must agree its very odd that two different phones that have the exact same software have such a drastic difference in battery life. And how will they fix it if half (a guess) of the phones do not experience the battery problem? It's very odd.

Yeah, it's strange... but what about settings? There are many settings that a user can alter to affect battery life. I'm not saying there's no issue anywhere, but I am saying, there's enough people with decent to good battery life to keep one from falling on the sword over it just yet... give Apple time to investigate and release a fix... and keep a charging cable handy in the meantime.
Even better than before! I think my battery is becoming seasoned.

I don't know why there are such major differences other than the possibility that some people just got phones with not so great batteries. It could also be usage types - I use my iPad for more media rich things, for example, and use my phone for text based communications and music. I don't really use my phone as a phone much - I'm not a real chatty person. So that may explain why I have battery life like this and others may have different stories. I don't know.
Yes, your right. Not everyone 'seems' to be affected by the issue. I just ran into 3 people that work IT at a local national company (fortune 500). 2 out of the 3 people had an iPhone 5 in their hand. I asked them "how do you like the battery life"....they respond "it's great!". I asked them how long it lasts. They both stated "just about a day", I asked how much do you use it during the day and they said not very much, as they sit at their computers for more than half the day. We then compared our usage stats, where I showed them my former 4s (on iOS 5) numbers and their jaw dropped. You see....they had NO idea what the "standard" actually IS for battery life, as both of them had droid phones....this was their first iPhone.
My point is....You have to be informed/educated on what "normal" is before you can pass judgement on whether something is working "great"....as in this case, Ignorance is indeed bliss.
No one is "jumping off a ledge", at least I hope not. I am unhappy with Apple this time, as after the iphone 4 antenna DISASTER, I thought they would have learned something valuable....they didn't.

You can't alter enough settings to produce battery life with such disparity short of turning airplane mode on.
"there's enough people with decent battery life to keep one from falling on the sword over it" Huh? So I should happy with my defunct iphone 5 I just paid $650.00 for because somewhere, Bob Smith has a phone that works great? No logic brother, sorry.
I was contacted by Apple and ran/sent battery profile log info to them this past week. I was contacted by 4 other people who stated they also did the same a few weeks ago. How long does it take to issue an update? This isn't isolated, and it began around Sept 22-ish.........https://discussions.apple.com/threa...com/message/20010004?ac_cid=tw123456#20010004.
Can't keep a spare charging cable handy.....because......they don't have them available. Lightning to USB Cable - Apple Store (U.S.) and Lightning to 30-pin Adapter - Apple Store (U.S.)
Ok, I get it. Some people are having issues with battery life... but not everyone. I am using my iPhone 5 exactly the same way I used my iPhone 4S and am not seeing any negative battery life issues. I'm on wifi about 30-40% of my day. The rest is on LTE (before someone gets snippy and comments, yes, the 4S was on 3G/"4G"). I get about 18-20 hours of standby and 5-6 hours of actual usage - email, surfing, some music, some phone calls, texting, twitter, an occasional video or two... and no complaints.
Regarding the statement about no setting short of airplane mode can make that much of a difference, again, I'd disagree. When testing my battery, in order to drain it completely, I set brightness level up to the max... when I was done testing, I forgot to reset the brightness setting... and it absolutely killed my battery... so there are some settings that can have huge impact... location settings and push notifications for everything, as well, will hurt battery longevity.
Again, I get it, that you are having issues. You can continue to complain here, you can do some detective work and see what you can tweak to help, you can wait for Apple to release an updated version of iOS, or you can take your phone to an Apple store and have them look at it for you...
Just trying to help.
