i know currently there is debugging software and whatever else Apple uses for necessary data in their betas, but i was just curious what everyone else was getting these days

i get about 5.5 hours usage and 14-16 standby [iPhone 4]

Yeh I probably get the same. About 5 hours usage and about 12 hours standby on medium usage.

Using Beta 2, I have 4 hours 49 minutes of usage and 14.5 hours standby. Been playing a couple of games for at least an hour, moderate email, minimal text, average internet browsing (3G/wi-fi), about an hour and a half on voice.

15% left.

I had an issue earlier and did a reboot of my phone. Apparently, doing the reboot (holding the home and sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears) also resets the usage counters... it wasn't that way with iOS 4.3.3... so I can't check my usage stats now...

Barely touching mine since i'm using my iPod and iPhone as a keyboard, since my GF spilled soda on my laptop. My iPhone is at 89% and barely using it for Facebook and Mail. iP4 is running 5b2

I found it to be the same as Beta 1 for me, however I didn't use it for very long I do know that 4.3.3 has superior battery life for me. I do miss iOS 5, hopefully Beta 3 will see some improved Battery Life.

I don't have the stats, but beta 2 is definitely better than beta 1. I can get a whole day without charging now. Couldn't do that in beta 1.

Usage: 5 Hours 39 Minutes
Standby: 22 Hours 50 Minutes

33% remaining. Not so bad.

Not differed too much for me.. I expect this battery performance will be improved in the official release of iOs 5.
