iPhone 5s Battery Life?

[i7guy]

I don't understand what you mean by wall time?

Wall time: 8am to 10pm is 14 hours. However, my usage meter on the iphone will not show 14 hours. It may show anywhere from 5 to 8 hours.

Yea. I'm just under 5 hours of usage time right now and almost 12 hours since pulled off charger. 35%.

Got it. Thank you for clarifying.

I'm at 18% after 11 hours, and it will probably last me another hour or two, depending on my usage patterns. This is with moderate usage, mostly wifi but signal was all over the place.

How are your settings?

Nothing very different. Mine is on Verizon and I get varying degrees if service, from full bars to 1 bar and I'm normally on wifi. Background sync is on for everything, maybe 50% brightness? I'm always reloading twitter, I messaging, playing music etc. My usage is light to moderate now that I think about it, but over 12 hours of usage until it got to 1% is very good for an iPhone.

That may explain it. I'm a SUPER heavy user. Refreshing twitter, Instagram, snapchat and other apps consistently. Background refresh off. Location off for everything. Reduce motion on. Auto brightness on and I don't get nearly as much battery life, LOL. Hopefully 7.1 saves my life.

Wow it sounds like it! My snapchatting and Instagraming have been minimal this week so that might add to my good battery life. I left all of the reducing motion settings off and let my location be used in everything but the games I have.

Came from android to iphone 5s. My battery lasts from 11 hours easy which is great. Just charge every night. Usually around 30 percent when I charge at night.

The only way I end up making it throughout the day is have in on the charger whenever I'm in my car or If i'm near my computer I'll charge it..

I've been happy with my 5s battery life. I think it helps that I have a pebble connected so I know when I need to unlock my phone for a notification. Helps conserve battery.
