I'm sure there are posts already about 5S battery life, but I haven't seen any for actual usage times, and I'm worried that my battery isn't as good as it should be:

Usage: 4 hours, 8 minutes
Standby: 11 hours, 2 minutes

And that's with 14% battery life - seems suspiciously low to me :eek: what about everyone else?

FYI: battery usage can be found under Settings>General>Usage :)

Decent but I think it can be better. This was the first time i let it run down to 1% to calibrate it

I was getting ~6 hours on my 5 with iOS 7, a big downgrade from iOS 6. Then I disabled background locations, and certain app refreshes, and most importantly, turned on "Increase Contrast". You don't get the blurs, but I'm getting iOS 6 battery levels.

I love my 5S battery life! This is with signal in a brick building, meaning 1-2 bars of 3G, WiFi only on when I come home from classes at 5PMish. Lots of texting, web browsing, email and 0 calls.
