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!
Got a tip for us?

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

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!
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.

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.

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 :/
