How's your iPhone 5S battery life

[seble]

Right, well got a replacement iPhone for battery issues and continuous crashing and restarting, so far battery does not seem any better then before, but I haven't given it one charge cycle yet, so we will wait and see!

no more than 4 hours when usage is on 3G. 5 hours with wi-fi. is this normal?

My 5 was much better. I'm pretty annoyed. With no doubt it's probably iOS 7 -_-

If we have to close many settings (location, app fresh, 3g, etc...) then no need to carry an iphone!!

Moderate use of the internet
Texting throughout the day with apps open
And brightness decreased to 25%
Also I've watched about 2 hours of video
Switching between wifi and 4g

I never compromise. GPS always on, LTE always on. If I compromise, experience gone.

Got mine last night and returning it today(going to stick with Verizon and get another one)

But i usually take the dog for a walk and this is my routine

Stream TuneIn Radio through bluetooth headset
Use Runkeeper app
Browse net for maybe 15-20 minutes during the walk.

Previously i would go from 100% down to about 70% with the 5

Today I went to 90% with the 5s

I get around 7 hours usage with my 5S though. With my 5 I pulled in 10hours easy, 12 hours if i was lucky. It has to be iOS 7 because it ruined my battery on my 5.

Does this seem reasonable?

94% after 19 minutes with no standby.

 

[rajravat]

i get around 9 hours usage, which is a lot better than my 2 year old 4S which used to get around 7 hours uage

94% after 19 minutes with no standby.

No that doesn't seem too good. I can usually get roughly 1 hour of use and at least 3-4 hours standby until I drop to 94%.

After full drain and charge overnight, I'm happy with my battery life, same settings posted here, I'm not a heavy user, light LTE browsing, Bluetooth Audio streaming ( screen is off), emails etc.....

 

[Solitude1984]

Here's mine from a bit earlier today. Was watching stuff on YouTube, downloading many apps, browsing the web, talking on the phone, and messaging. I'm very happy with this!

 

[Lungjuno]

This is mine

Mine just lasted about an hour at 1%.

I had bad battery life for a week or something, even though I started from scratch with my iPhone 5S. When 7.0.3 came out I resetted settings, made a fresh iCloud backup, did DFU restore and used the backup. I then deleted all my accs (mail, FB etc.) and readded them. Another "Erase settings" and that's it. Seems better now:



20mins worth of calls (FaceTime Audio and cell), music, surfing the web (wifi and LTE), messaging, Facebook...

So it's basically 8h of usage, 30h of standby. That's fine, I guess.

 

[AAPLinc]

I have yet to do a full charge and discharge and check my stats, because it takes so long to discharge that I end up just plugging in.

But I can say that after a full days work I still have 50-60% without charging once (I unplug my phone at 8am and plug it in again at 12am).

My 4S I would usually give it a juice up mid afternoon at work and still be at like 45% at the end of the day.

5S battery is amazing. Maybe the 4S just sucked, but wow the difference is night and day.

 

[BigMac3]

4h 50 min usage, 8.5 h standby 27% battery. Usage was web surfing and turn based games.

 

[Jimbo47]

Still looking good here. With moderate LTE usage. Probably 50/50 LTE and Wifi.

 

[farmD]

I'm not getting the 8 hr usage time that I got during my first week of use. It's down to 6 hrs now O.O. Iono if it's something that I installed. Can't seem to find the culprit. May have to do a fresh install again.

I've only had mine for one day & well I'm not a huge fan of the battery life. It's also not charging :/
