This is with fairly heavy usage. No games and screen brightness at 50%
I've had over 9hr 30 mins usage before. Mainly on wifi for the duration of the battery. This for me is a very good battery as if I wanted me battery to last for 2 days I could drag it out with very light usage.

Hey guys,

I was hoping to get better life than this, 4 hours of constant use. I don't understand how people are getting 8 hours of usage. I was playing games because I was bored, but I did listen to some podcasts with the screen off.

Before jailbreaking, if I did a charge from 0% to 100%, my battery would stay at 100% for about 30 mins of usage (browsing). Now, since unjailbreaking, it's not like that. It goes to 99% after a couple minutes.

being new to the iphone 5 i find the battery life to be superb i was use to carrying a couple of extra batteries with my pre2 when out on my motorcycle for the day and was worried about not being able to do this with the iphone but i will limit notifications and other battery management tricks to maximize my day.....but so far that might not even be nessasary as i still have 50% life left after i get out of work....im usually on a spare battery by then....

To be honest, mine is not that different than the 4S I had. Still not where I'd like it, but I picked up an Anker external battery on Amazon to tie me over in emergency situations.

my iPhone 5 batter life kind of sucks....i don't know why. I swapped it at the apple store in case I got a faulty device, but its the same :S. I don't understand how you guys are getting such good battery use. My 4s was better. :S

If the games were 3D graphically intense games 4 hours isn't too bad, also with LTE in the back ground. I get 8 to 10 hours usage from one full charge. That's browsing web, Facebook, texting a few phone calls.

Mine isn't too great. Telus doesn't have a very good LTE network in Victoria. My phone keeps switching back and forth from 3G. Kills the battery pretty quick.
