Battery draining like hell on 5S

It is possible - and it is actually not THAT bad.
Main culprit - check the signal strength - both phone and wifi.
My battery life is related to phone/wifi signal - I can get really great battery life when I am in area with strong signal, when I am at work (mostly metal building), where the phone signal is really bad, I do not get through work day. Apparently when signal is weak, the phone is working extra hard to keep you connected...
You can put the phone in airplane mode/disable wifi, that will save batteries. Not that useful as phone, though;-)
This has nothing to do with phone type, every phone does this. My Blackberry, Android, and iPhone behave same way. Some last longer in general or there may be more controls (then iPhone) available. But this is not hardware or software issue.

This was actually a good day.
Usually i get only about 4 hours of use instead of the 6 i got today.
I have already turned off some background app updates and some push notifications.
Its kind of disappointing because i come from a samsung galaxy s4 which had much better battery life. I love my 5S much more though, but with better battery life, android phones seem much more like a smartphone than iphones where you have to turn off everything to get a good battery life out of it.
