I've been really impressed with the battery life of the 5s over the 5. So, I thought of a way to visualize the difference and hope people on this forum might help me collect data to fill in the scatter plot below. I've attached a link to a Google data collection form, if you'd like to participate. Feel free to participate as many times as you like.

Google Form for iPhone 5/5s Battery Graphic Study

Apple's definitions of Usage and Standby are constant across all phones. Everyone will have different usage and standby profiles, but the scatter by phone should produce two clouds of battery life if we have lots of different kinds of users with each phone. In case iOS version matters, I'll record it. To minimize variance, I only intend to use usage/standby data if people run their phones from 100% to less than or equal to 5% (near complete discharge), with no interim power top-ups.
