Does this seem like normal depletion? I've not set it down since unplugging it. Reading on here, texting, a couple of games and one phone call. I'm planning in running the battery down completely.
I wasn't sure I was getting very good battery life so i wiped it and did a clean install. Hoping this helps.

Ok....with further use I feel like this is pretty exceptional. That's solid use and I'm still around 50%. Makes me think that normal use would be really good.

Ok... Here's the first full day after doing a clean restore. I feel like that was good. I purposely played with the phone ALOT to test it.

It's been over a week now & I have been impressed with the battery. It is similar to my iPhone 4 but it all comes down to management. If you play your favorite game for like an hour it drains pretty quick like with any phone. If you manage texting, calling, taking pictures, a game every now & then you can last all day. I've gotten an easy 12 hours if I managed it properly a few times. I use wifi whenever I can. That usually helps the battery life & saves data lol.

I've been using it nonstop screen on for almost 1.5 hrs and I'm at 95%. I'm on wifi with relatively low brightness but still.

NFL Sunday Ticket streamed over LTE eats my battery :) It's draining at about 1% per minute... ouch! (Otherwise, I'm very happy with the battery.)

I will say this, I left mine off the charger last night just to see how long it would last with normal use. I never got this kind of life with my 4 or 4s. I'm pretty happy with the battery life on the iPhone 5.

Deep in its lengthy review of the iPhone 5, iLounge has performed an analysis on the battery life of the iPhone 5. The site tested the device under a number of conditions, including both cellular and Wi-Fi web browsing, voice calls, FaceTime calls, video recording, and video and audio playback.
