Doesn't seem amazing if you ask me. I'm at almost 7 hours of usage with 1.4 days standby on my ipad 4 and still have 70% left. I'm not totally sure with the mini, I thought it was supposed to be the same as the air/4. Could be wrong though.
Are you on the beta? And when apple advertises 10 hours, and I get 13, that's amazing. They have always exaggerated in the past in this regard.

I wish I had battery life like that. My 5S on beta 2 drops about a percent every couple minutes regardless of whether I'm using it or it's in standby. It's become useless to me since I have to leave it on the charger constantly.
Sorry for the OT response: Close your recently used apps and reset the phone. That will stop the drain until whatever is causing it starts again.

Thanks for the advice, but nope. I've tried restores, closing apps and turning off every functionality possible. Even in Airplane mode that battery still drains.
If you can demonstrate the drain, take it to the Apple store for a replacement.
If you've restored and the problem persists then its hardware.
Hopefully some day our phones will get the same battery life of today's iPads!
Check out my attachment below for proof. Loving this beta! On iPad Mini Retina.
Here's my battery so far on my iPad 4. Lots of safari browsing and lots of YouTube video watching. Excellent IMO.

No wonder why you guys are getting 11+ hours… the phone drains so much slower when you barely use it (obviously) I find the more I use it a little at a time vs if I will be on it for 30 minutes straight, the battery will drain MUCH quicker if I'm on it 30 minutes straight whereas if I use it for 30 minutes total in small periods at a time.
