Traded iPhone 4S for Galaxy S3....Big mistake

I have a better phone because it lasts 30 seconds longer.
Are there actually any adults in this thread?

I wish I could last 30 seconds longer (it's official, there are no adults in this thread)

I've got some ointment for that....
I have a hard time believing that graph. I have a note 2. 9 of my high school soccer players have an iPhone 5. We've taken several long tournament trips, none of their iPhones can last as long as my Note 2.
-_-
Well unless you're on FB too, updating your status with them, I'm betting your usage varies.
I'm confused by the first graph. How does one get eight full hours of LTE and barely five of 3G on the 5? I will get about six full hours of both on mine equally. Does it matter which carrier you have?
By the way, I get near twelve hours on wifi, but I assume that is because I am usually only a few feet from the router.
Its a standard test anandtech run, same brightness and same conditions for every phone they test.
The Note II also has a bigger screen and the hardware itself is a lot more powerful, the whole device is built to be in between a phone and a tablet. You can't just put it all down to the OS when you compare battery lives with a more conservative device like the iPhone 5.
Compared to what? Says who?
Thank you

Firstly LTE is significantly more efficient than 3G (you can read about this in the review). Secondly these tests are under ideal conditions at 200 nits brightness and refreshing of the same website at intervals.
Yes been in IT for 20 years. Retina requires more power. Guess people forgot when they went to the Retina's they had to increase the battery sizes on the iphones and ipads. LOL

"Achieving retina resolutions with current TFT technology isn't easy. The more tightly you pack the pixels, the lower the display's aperture ratio becomes. The aperture ratio is the ratio between the pixel's transparent area and the whole pixel area including wiring; the smaller the ratio, the less light gets through. To compensate for this, Apple has been forced to double the number of LEDs in the iPad's backlight, which uses 72 LEDs and requires two and a half times more power than the backlight in the iPad 2."
"Power hungry
By area, every iPad is made primarily of battery - and the new iPad has the biggest one yet, which is why it's slightly thicker and heavier than its predecessor. Driving those extra LEDs requires lots of power, and to achieve the same battery life as an iPad 2 the new iPad's battery has been upped from 25 watt-hours to 42.5."
And doesn't understand the difference between LED backlighting and LCD displays by the sounds of it.
And people here obviously know nothing on how technology works and refuse to read and learn. Lol
Yes because Apple screens are made of magic and therefore use more fairydust power.
