With the size of the battery that is used in this phone, I think you are achieving what should be expected. Remember too that above all else, the level of brightness you keep your screen set at will have the most impact on the battery. Given the many threads regarding this same topic for the iphone 5, 6 hours usage seems right.
Several tests have been done comparing the iphone 5 and iphone 5S side by side for battery life and they have determined that the iphone 5S achieves about 5 minutes better battery life lol. I keep a charger at my desk at work, in my car, and several at home so I have no complaints.
