Dude wtf are you literally using your phone for 14 hours straight without taking your eyes off the screen? Otherwise I'm convinced you're just playing music for 14 hours.
Got a tip for us?

The screen doesn't have to be on to accrue usage stats. A lot of that was streaming music in the car with the screen off. But yes, it was the first day I got the phone and I used it for 12 hours within a 15 hour period. I'd say screen time was about 7 of it.
My normal stats are now evening out to about 7 hours usage, 1 day standby time with mostly LTE audio streaming and wifi web browsing.

I think this is the issue that KidStallyn is speaking about.. the phone is accruing the same usage as standby time which means it's not shutting off properly or you used it 14 hours straight (latter is possible but unlikely).
Battery life is way worse than iPhone 4, I feel duped.
iPhone 5:
-vs-
iPhone 4:
I've had my iPhone 4 for two years, and my iPhone 5 for less than a week. Not only did it come out of the box with nicks all over the metal rim, 5 of them, the battery life plain sucks- even after resetting everything etc. I make use of it the same way I made use of my iPhone 4, no more and no less. So I ran a test, and this is what I came up with- roughly same use- even more on the 4 and there you have it.

this by far destroys my iPhone 4S battery life. May not be good for some, but makes me very happy.
since u mf complained that it stood "plugged in since last charge" last time I did this, heres the result for my 2nd cycle.
Idk if this is considered good or not..but this is my first iphone..I have the 4s..I have turned off everything that is said to save battery life..I have been reading threw the pages on this forum for over an hour on 4g.
I love the phone..but my previous piece of crap Samsung could go a week without being charged

Do these "Usage" stats really mean anything?
Usage could mean Internet, gaming, simple texting. Also, cell signal strength also has a huge impact on battery life as well as brightness settings, location services being used etc etc. Unless each person gives a detailed breakdown of how they used their phones exactly, none of these screenshots are worth comparing IMO
