they really should of included the 12w brick that the iPads use considering how long it takes to charge on the 5w.
Got a tip for us?

I'm pretty sure its the phones software that determines when that starts, usually when you're getting close to 90-100%
Absolutely. I'm just trying to say that the faster you charge them, the quicker they will deteriorate. It's perfectly safe but shortens the lifespan.
this is true because it generates a little more heat while charging. but i doubt you'd notice the difference unless you set up some controlled test and that would take a long time.
Agreed. If the batteries were easily replaced and genuine units easily sourced, I wouldn't hesitate to use an iPad charger. As things stand, I'll suffer the 3 hour cycle.
If I remember correctly iPhones get to 80% in an hour (6+ might take longer) or so then the rest of the time it's slow charging to 100%.
That isnt it, multitasking speed is just as equally fast on both, he just has to get used to getting around the OS more
Plus split screen window/application windows on a 5 inch screen is just beyond stupid and gimmicky
The battery life is one of the main reasons I may upgrade to the plus. Still undecided, it's a bit gaudy.
I jailbroke my phone ... I have this app that shuts off all bands on my phone when i lock the device ... All except the edge band which is the low energy efficiency one... That checks my notifications yet it saves battery tremendously... Highschool student that uses iphone constantly - gets 1 and a half days of usage .
Its a really famous app called "battsaver" apparently its incredible and i think its from the default repos do you should be able to find it
I was seeing the same as you for the first week or so (received my phone the 5th) but today I'm getting incredible battery life! Check the screen shot out. I also have Bluetooth on 24/7 because I have a pebble so that doesn't help, but if it keeps this up I'll be more then happy!

Yeah hopefully I am expecting the same.
