iPhone 5 Battery Life

**Retconaddict** · 10-08-2012, 04:32 AM

Hi everyone, I'm just wondering what you all think of the battery life on the 5. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1349688603.753848.jpg

That's my battery life at the moment and of course that's far far worse than my 4S. I've done a restore and obviously that hasn't helped, so what do you guys think? 8% in 20 minutes is bad, right?

Here's my screenshot from the other day:

And here's right now (I literally just plugged it in)

I'm happy with it. It took some tweaking to get it like this, but I'm happy

This is the best battery life I have ever had with any smartphone. With my 4s I would have had to put it on the charger yesterday evening.

Take a look at one of the first stickies on this forum...

Every user will have different battery life. We all use devices differently. More apps running, some video, different screen brightness. There are so many factors, and not one is alike.

If your current state meets what apple says, then you should be fine. But there are a lot of things you can do to improve it even more. But one can not say his device is avg, because there is no set average for one user, nor a whole room of iPhones

Do we really need another thread on this same topic? http://forums.imore.com/iphone-5-for...tery-life.html

Rene says more is better. More clutter, IMO... but he's the boss.

*sigh*

Is that why this forum was renamed, iMore?

Yeah I posted this in the other thread too.

Somebody lock it up.
