I've been having better battery life.
Seems this is always a topic when a new iPhone comes out.
It's how it's used if you have every thing turned on all the time then yha thats what you will get.
Key things brightness (huge effect on battery)
Location aware (go through and check what is using it. Even with 4s if you used location aware in notification would eat up the battery fast.)
Bluetooth (if you don't need it turn it off)
Get a good first charge of the phone let it burn though the whole batter and charge again. (called conditioning the battery)
Look through push notification anything that don't need it disable it.
Regularly check and close applications that is not needed.
check email you don't need it to check every 2min's if it has an option for push use it if not then make the checking time longer (effects battery a lot)
these are all basic tips we all should be using.
I personally don't find battery time worse maybe marginally better however it is a new phone so hard to say since i'm playing with it more because it is.
With all that being said I have not been using LTE much it is enabled but from where I live and work there is no LTE service.
Now I would not put it past LTE to be using more battery as well as the new 802.11n 5ghz if your using them. I do use 5ghz at home and work so thats not effecting my results
