Hi I hv the latest ios 8.1.1 on my iPhone 5s

However I get only 4 hr usage per charge cycle.

Anyone with similar config wanna assist? Thanks
 
Do you tend to play games a lot? How long since you bought it? We need more info than that I'm afraid.
 
Battery life is on par with IOS 7. I have all background off and system location services disabled. I use maps a lot and find that drains the battery more than anything else.
 
I bought it over an year ago right after it was introduced. Cheap Android phones are giving better battery life what gives?
 
I haven't noticed much change in battery life since updating.

As others have said, the battery life will vary a lot depending on what you do on your phone. I have a couple of games that will drain the battery in 2 1/2 hours. Yet, I can also get 10 hours using other local apps and switching the cellular radio off.
