For those who came from the 5 to the 5s... Do you notice a difference? I personally think it is much better, best I've had on a iPhone yet but still early days.

My 2 and three quarter year old 4 is doing about that :/ Maybe I shouldn't upgrade after all :/
 
Did you happen to notice that he's still at 39%?

I rarely check mine for those stats.

Yeah. Mine was on 12% earlier with ~7 hours use and over a day on standby. Now wondering if there is going to be a repeat of battery gate, or whether I've just been lucky with this phone.
 
Not bad, I've charged only once so I am hoping it gets better after 3-5 full charges. It normally does.

Holy cow! You guys have been getting immense battery!
Yesterday I got about 6 hours of usage / standbye, after installing apps with iTunes letting it index spotlight etc etc, using the camera a little.

I hope it improves a bit if you're all getting figures that crazy high!
 
To all getting 'amazing figures' what do you use your phones for?
I'm on 66% right now
Usage: 2:23
Standby: 3:00

Yours is normal. Anyone can get higher numbers by manipulating settings.

Nobody has been manipulating anything! I only turned off Time zone settings in location. Everything else has been left as is.
 
not official

I don't have any real official usage YET, but having bought the phone friday, did a restore from a 4s backup (took about 25 minutes) and did a lot of email, fitzing, video streaming, etc., I only had to put it on the charger today at 12%..so things look pretty good at least now.
