This replacement 5 has amazing battery life. I'm not sure it doesn't have a reactor inside:)

Well my usage is..

Installing all my apps again, Changing settings the way I like, Browsing the web. I am still not under 80 percent yet after 3 hours of screen on time doing my normal things above
 
The iPhone 5 does have an awesome battery life. Significantly better than my old LTE Galaxy Nexus, and a bit better than my Galaxy S3.
 
im impressed too with the battery life, but i cant havegreat battery life unlessi out brightness to about 20-30% only. lucky for the most of the time i use my iphone is indoor.
 
I'm impressed with the battery life but I'm not extremely impressed with the screenshot in the above post...

Why not? That would extrapolate to over 14 hours usage. I agree the first 10-20% are misleading. I often see my battery % go down very slowly at first, then it always corrects as I get closer to 50%. Still, nearly 2 hours at 87% is very good.

I get a pretty steady 8 hours use without music, I'm not complaining. I did get 10.5 hours one day but about 1.5 hours was music.

Really? Maybe you glanced and didn't look at the numbers because the screenshot in the OP is suggesting being on track for 15hours of usage.
Which I haven't seen.
Reviews haven't seen.
And even Apple doesn't claim.

I guess just cause that's about where i'm at all the time. 10+ hrs usage time is not uncommon for me though I typically charge it as frequently as possibly now that I've done a couple of drain/fills.

I didn't mean to bash the OP. Thanks for sharing the screenshot. I don't know that it warranted yet another thread though.
 
I have an iphone4 and I'm at a day and a half for stand by time with about a little more usage at around 80%. I can't imagine how great the iphone 5 is, but I can tell you that my four is amazing.
 
Why when peeps post pics of there battery usage they never show the bottom where it says if the phone had been plugged in since being fully charged? #
