Horrendous.
I'm not the only one and have been following a thread on the apple forums for a few weeks now. Thousands of users are reporting battery life problems, including myself. Many users have returned their phones only to have the same issues.
Many (including myself) have tried EVERYTHING. I even went so far as to turn off LTE, WIFI, Bluetooth, location services, icloud, etc. (BTW, what's the point of the phone if all of this is turned off anyway?) but to my dismay, the phone drains battery life like nothing else I've seen. About 1% battery every 2-3 minutes, even just sitting there.
Trust me - I tried EVERYTHING. For those who think there isn't a problem, you should start reading here:

quite frankly, I'm ready to return it because my 30 days are just around the corner and I don't want to get stuck with this nonsense.
I'm right there with you. I'm also thinking that a lot of people that think they're getting good battery life really aren't. Most of the pictures of useage times posted in this thread appear to be connected to wifi, but the battery problem appears to occur most when using cellular data. I get very good battery life over wifi, but as soon as I go on cellular the battery literally melts away.
Even when I was out of town last week and on LTE 100% of the time I would go to bed with 20-30% remaining. I have a really hard time killing the battery in one day unless playing a game for hours.
Finally getting some press on this issue.
