I am wondering why some people saying that the battery life is amazing while some other saying no.
Got a tip for us?

iPhone 5 battery life [Merged]

Haven't really taken notice of battery yet. Mainly because I know I've been using it like crazy for the past few hours.
Took me 6 hours and 30 minutes of straight game playing, picture taking, and iMessaging to go from 90% to 0%
Depends on how you have it set up. If you have email set to push often, and a lot of syncing to icloud, battery will drain faster.
you may find some useful battery life tips on Apple's site:

RE: Battery life. It's awesome, much better than my 2 year old iPhone 4.
I had it plugged into the Mac yesterday while setting it up, was plugged in copying music, etc, while I was playing with it.
Has been unplugged ever since, used it for a few hours last night, several hours today. Been connected to Wifi, browsing, Flipboard, Facebook, a few texts/iMessages, a couple of short (1-2 minute) phone calls, a few games (Words With Friends, SocialChess, etc...), BlueTooth to speakerdock for 30 mins.
Currently at 14% remaining:
"Time Since Last Full Charge" stats:
Usage: 7 hours 41 minutes
Standby: 20 hours, 47 minutes
Will run it down to 0 and do another full charge, but yet another aspect that I'm very impressed with.

But it seems that there are quite opposite opinion on twitter. Remember all of them are talking about their first usage.
The battery life on my iPhone 5 is better than my 4 or 4S. Could to be more happy. Give it a few days and RELAX.

macrumors regular
impresive
although my 4S would get 1/2 day while jb'd and "a day" of moderate use
i'm truly impressed with 5: out of box, 12 hours of almost constant use and 5 hours standby over night!

What the heck?!? I'm at:
Usage: 1 Hour, 44 Min
Standby: 4 Hours, 14 min
I'm at 65%!!!
This phone is a joke compared to my iPhone 4
AT&T LTE....I set it up as new on my Macbook. but sync with icloud to get my contacts back..
This occurrence seems to be most common with LTE. It seems alarming. Someone should do a poll or something.
My battery life is dreadful, this is from light browsing on 3G and using the twitter app. How bad is this?
Been over an hour of just texting(most of what I do) and hasn't dropped at all. Very happy so far.
Surely it's a hardware thing? It's so bad it must be a rubbish battery.
I had this type of battery life with my 4S as well.
My battery life is awesome so far. The phone seems to charge very quickly as well (now on 2nd charge).
