Battery life is stellar on wifi and decent on 3G. I am not in an lte area so I keep it off. This screenie was from last week, mostly on wifi but a few decent stretches on 3G.

How in the hell did you get down to 1%?

I think the main question is what exactly are you guys are doing on the phone..I have owned my iphone 5 for two weeks and my battery is so so..If i use the engadget app or facebook while playing music in the background...I lose about 1% of battery life in every 3 minutes..I am coming for an android phone which had horrible battery life but the iphone has better standy time than my android phone..If i actually use apps and have the screen on, the battery drains a tad slower than my previous phone (Galaxy S2)...What are you guys doing to produce the battery times (good or bad)?

Here is my latest. LTE, bluetooth, location are all on. I am very impressed with battery life.

My iPhone battery life is terrible. I'm coming from the iPhone 4S & the Nokia Lumia 900.
I must say I got to walk with my charger everywhere and it's alway plugged into my car.
4-5hrs of battery life is not even exceptional when my Nokia Lumia 900 gives me almost 8-9hrs with out charging durning the day.
I really love my iPhone 5 but the battery sucks!!!

Correction your iphone 5 battery sucks mine is great never less than 7 hours usage if I'm on wifi its more like 9 to 10

The one on the left seems pretty decent with still 1/3 of your battery left. The on the right is pretty bad, but I'll attribute that to LTE.

- Set up iPhone as new last Friday. Then added iCloud to get my bookmarks and notes.
- Third charge (did one full discharge, but will try not to charge below 50% from now on)
- about 5-6 hours of wifi browsing (lots of Instagram- pulling lots of data), safari, twitter, facebook (location off), 75 messages, downloaded 2 apps
- 1 hour call on 3G
- brightness at minimum
- 1 push email account
- used location services once for <1min
- 5 hours of sleep
- and with 1/5 batt left!

I'm happy. (On the first day LTE alone killed my batt 40% in 2 hours so I was a tad worried there, but seems like this is normal)

Every so often I let it run until it shuts itself off. Seems to have better battery life the following few charges after that. It will hang on 1% for a little bit usually. Sort of like when the gas gauge in your car is on E with the light on...you really have like 20 more miles

Here is another one. All radios on with wifi a large chunk of the time

I'm pretty happy with my battery. Charging once per day(over night) is what I was looking for.

My battery life hasn't been too well since I purchased my iPhone 5 on Oct. 26. Thankfully, over the last few days or so, the battery has improved/stabilized.

It definitely has some issues, though. For example, the other day I left it charging overnight and as soon as I unplugged it in the morning, it decreased to 99%. How is that possible?

Anyway, like I said, it has improved since then.

This was after very little use, but good nonetheless.

This is my regular usage now. Is it good?

 

[ktaifan]

Pattzilla, it really depends on what you're doing for those 7 hours and 22 minutes. If you're gaming, that's pretty awesome. If it's 7 hours of music, that's terrible. Tell us what you're doing for those 7 hours.

Mostly facebook, Instagram, espn sportcenter, tumblr, flipboard and text messages...no gaming at all

 

[Fitz39]

I remember when I got my first flip phone, they told me to let it charge for something like 18 hours because the battery was new. I've always been paranoid about how I treat "new" batteries. I just got my iPhone yesterday, are there any steps I can take early on to ensure I get the best battery life out of my phone?

It's not what I was getting on my 4, but its not bad. I get the majority of my day through before it needs a recharge.

Best I've had
