iPhone 4 battery was much better than iPhone 5

This is 100% *********.
Capacity - usage x time unit is battery life.
Your usage is wrong, the battery is fine.

I´m regretting that I upgraded to iPhone 5. I´m running out of battery all the time. It´s so frustrating to keep charging the phone all the time. Even Apple´s site state in the specs that iPhone 4 had better battery life, so it is a fact. Also the charging takes much much longer, probably due to the new lightning connector.

I mean WTF Apple?

You may have gotten a defective battery. Usage times on my iPhone 5 far exceed those of my old 4.

Battery life on my iPhone 5 is very close to what I had on the iPhone 4. Almost the same. Very impressive considering it has LTE always on too.

iPhone 4 standby time: 300 hours
iPhone 5 standby time: 225 hours

Straight from Apple´s specs. That´s like live over 3 days more standby time and I definitely have noticed it!!!

I probably have to charge the iPhone 5 two times a week. With iPhone 4 it was about once in a week and my usage has not increased, the opposite in fact.

If your charging your iphone twice a week then you are really not using it at all and should probably go back to a dumb phone.

LOL, and after reading it again now its even more comical that your complaining about charging a phone TWICE a week

Not really sure if this is a serious thread. You have to charge twice a week!! Wow.......

Battery life is better for me.

Well iPhone 5 does use LTE and the iPhone 4 only 3G.

The iPhone -iPhone 4 contained 300 hours of battery life. The iPhone 4S & iPhone 5 has 225 hours of battery life. The next iPhone can not have anything less the 2000.

Have to agree! Battery life is iPhone 5 biggest issue IMO. Can't even make it to 5PM with a full charge without making any call or playing games. Only my job emails in push! Will call Apple to see if I can get a replacement because this seem like an issue to me..

Apple values thin devices at all costs. Battery life is a secondary consideration.

I had and have both and I think yes the 4S was a little better, but it did not have the CPU speed the 5 does, so when you factor in the 5 is faster and larger screen it needs to push out more energy, so maybe a tad difference, however for the most part doing the same exact thing on a daily basis I get the same battery life. When I play a game on the 4S the battery drains quicker then on the 5 for some odd reason, however I have a Mophie PowerJuice Pack 6000mah battery pack, you get almost 4 whole charges on your IP5 out of a single Mophie charge, so I rarely have to worry about power.
