iPhone 5s Battery Life?

[M.Rizk]

Did you charge it out of the box Mr? I just ran mine from 75% out of the box to 29% and just plugged it until tomorrow morning that I'm waking up for work

Yes, after enjoying it for few minutes I left it to recharge and took a nap.

playing games?... Watching streaming ? Brightness %?...

No, I don't play games on smartphones. I only streamed 2 YouTube videos and those were on WiFi. Brightness is the default settings, I like it that way, Apple knows better than me

My usage was based on browsing, BBMing, Voice calling and finalizing the phone setup. Over 3G

What I wanna know is why does iOS use so much battery when wifi is on. In the android world it's all about having wifi on to conserve battery

Pretty sure that's the opposite...

This is not necessary.

First day, first full charge.
Disconnected this morning at around 8am, plugged back at around 5pm and installed 7.0.3.

This usage was from 8am to 5pm all day in LTE or 4G, wifi off, BT off and hardcore data with FB, online videos, iMore forums, IG and even 10 minutes of the Apple event, made some calls and some texts as well. Location is off, no parallax effect, background apps on manual and screen illumination around 30-40% . Not bad for a first day but have my hopes it'd get better.

it does.. It took 4 days for my battery to level out at about 20+ hours stand by, I hope 7.0.3 helps even more.

Good to hear! Hope I can get something close to that in a few days

I charged at 19% during the apple event. Had location services on most of the time coming home from vacation.

Is this good?

Agreed. Li-ion batteries need no "conditioning", unlike NiCd and NiMH batteries. See here, at "Contents 10.1 Conditioning".

Can't really tell since you plugged it in and it recharged partially. What was the usage when you were at 19%?

I think it was 6 hours. Forgot to look

Good info! Thank you

Does it matter how many times you charge the battery?

not necessarily. it's how many time you "cycle" the battery. there's a post around here somewhere that describes what you're interested in (better than i can)...iirc, one of the mods posted it.

 

[Chris Cook5]

I'm at 2%. This is my 2nd time to cycle. Is that good. Lol

My galaxy S2 would be taken off the charger around 6:30 and I'd have to charge around noon to 1:00 to make sure I'd have enough battery to make it home after work. I can make it through a full day with my 5s even with moderate use. I'm thrilled as there were a few times with my S2 that I ran out of battery after being away from work or home longer then expected.

Loving my 5S! My battery life seems to be getting better as time goes by. Just updated to 7.0.3 yesterday...so far so good

Mine has been great...but I am coming from a 2 + year old HTC EVO 3D...which barely lasted an hour with use...
