iOS 6 allows you to upload photos now via safari. For macrumors you can attach directly from your camera roll/album or take a photo to upload just like in messages

My AT&T phone is at around 3.5hrs usage 9hrs standby at 33% right now. So not the best, I may do a restore and start fresh to see if it changes

I don't have a screen shot but I'm currently on 8 minutes 10 seconds standby and 4 hours 44 minutes of usage, and I'm at 35%. I started charging it last night when there was about 3% battery left. Charged to 100% and unplugged it this morning.

I'm hoping that on average it can last me until bedtime. I don't know if it'll happen. Tonight I'll let it completely drain and shut down and then charge to 100%.

ETA- I'm on Verizon 3G. LTE isn't available here. Im also using all battery saving options that I'm aware of. I didn't do a restore since I was coming from Android. I had my contacts transferred and that was it.

How can you post the screenshot from the mobile site? I have it in my camera roll currently. On topic, my i5's battery is better than my 4S. Which is incredible given the LTE chip, A6 and larger screen

mikey2004 · Sep 22, 2012, 06:08 PM

loving mine so far;

Fernandez21 · Sep 22, 2012, 06:22 PM

Here's mine, battery at 49%. Seems better than my 4 or 4s, at this rate it will have close to 9hrs usage when it hits 0%.

Edit: I'm on AT&T and I set up my phone as new.

It's odd, some periods it drains fast and than others it drains slow.

Hey dude this is my usage so far over LTE only since full charge. Pretty much the same as wifi

Can u/someone please enlighten me. I cannot upload photos to MR via Safari. Nor can I attach to a post via the camera roll.

poidog81 · Sep 22, 2012, 07:35 PM

Terrible. Very disappointed and considering retuning.
13% on 4g (not LTE)
4 hr usage
7 hr standby

JS82712 · Sep 22, 2012, 07:36 PM

These screenshots don't say very much; one could easily turn off everything and simply listen to music for 12hrs and upload the picture here.

iLoveMyApple · Sep 22, 2012, 07:43 PM

My iPhone has been on 1% battery for almost 20 minutes.

Leonard1818 · Sep 22, 2012, 07:54 PM

I'm at 1% now about to go... I'll be just over 7 hours and 30 mins use and just over 19 hours and 40 minutes standby.

Restored from 4s iOS 6 backup.

BacklitFirefly · Sep 22, 2012, 09:19 PM

Well, I'm down to 1%. Unplugged from full overnight charge at 8 am, and it's 10:17 pm. I'm showing 6 h 10 m of usage, 14 h 17 m standby. I'm going to let it run down completely and recharge overnight, hoping calibration works some magic. Really though, this doesn't seem to have run down as fast as I was worried it would this morning.

BluePhoenixRa · Sep 22, 2012, 11:06 PM

Made one call for one minute.

Are you on MR your cellphone? If so, slide all the way down and you'll see "Desktop Version"..click it. Then Post Reply. Then Attach. And then look at the post above me, and follow that. =)

I might do the same. The only thing holding me back are all of my text messages.

Fusion79 · Sep 22, 2012, 11:17 PM

Loving mine so far. Was at a football game most of the day so I was on LTE for a good chunk of the day.

Ryan914 · Sep 23, 2012, 12:12 AM

Terrible battery life here. I hope a drain, recharge and reset fixes it.

jeremiah239 · Sep 23, 2012, 12:36 AM

I unplugged it at 10:30 am and it's now 1:30 am and this is what I got. Way better then my 4s.

bkb1777 · Sep 23, 2012, 01:06 AM

Mine was much worse on my 4S. The battery charge yesterday went almost to 9 hours. I set up as a new phone. Service comes and go at my job so for ten hours today I would get on and off the Internet.

shanmugam · Sep 23, 2012, 01:08 AM

is it the phone keep pinging for LTE connection where it is not exists? (in the area)

gdjsnyder · Sep 23, 2012, 03:17 AM

Absolutely thrilled with my battery life. Of the 20 hours of usage on my phone, about 5.5 hours of that it on LTE, the rest on WiFi.

Aidy06 · Sep 23, 2012, 03:54 AM

Here's mine, very impressed so far

This was at the end of the day. 8 hours use, I'm happy with that.

theking79 · Sep 23, 2012, 07:09 AM

This is my 3rd cycle. Think I might have to return my iPhone.

After posting this it dropped to 54%
