First time iPhone user so a couple of questions...
1. I've experienced about 1 percent drop in battery every 3 minutes or so when browsing, emailing, using Twitter while on LTE (strong signal). Is this about what's to be expected?
2. When streaming (Tune In Radio mostly) I'm losing about 25-30 percent battery an hour. This seems like way too much drain to me. Thoughts?
I'm going to turn my brightness on "eye bleed" lol, and see how my battery life runs.I'm on the fence about this. One caveat is that I keep brightness at 100%. But still, not the greatest battery life in my opinion. Especially when much of this was on wifi.
Mine is marginal at this point. I spend about 2 hours today in an area where 4G/LTE was pretty weak, and I noticed it switching back and forth... plus a trip to the Apple store where LTE was horrible... in fact, I ended up on EDGE for a bit before connecting to their wifi. Also, played with the camera quite a bit today. Still, in all, not a bad first day with the phone. Gonna charge it up overnight and see what happens tomorrow.

That signal looks horrible to say the least. If that's an "all the time" kinda deal, I'd start suspecting that to begin with. I'm at -71 with the signal.
Battery life on mine (so far) seems decent. I had great battery life on my 4S considering I'm a pretty heavy user. If its on par with my 4S I'll be happy.
One thing I experienced that may help others out - when I restored the device from iCloud battery life was awful. I wiped the device and restored from iTunes and its been much better. I'm not sure why/how this would happen but I thought I'd mention it.
