Do you guys believe Apple when they say 8 hours of LTE browsing? Seems like a ridiculously long time on LTE...

... or is Apple just lying and basing that 8-hour figure off of the most ideal conditioins (0% brightness and going to new pages every 15 minutes so it doesn't use much battery)?

i streamed 1hr of music over LTE and battery life decreased from 100% to 97%
 
streaming music doesn't use much juice conpared to browsing.

Exactly. The screen being on takes around 70+% of your battery usage. That's why I wonder about actual amount of time you can internet browse on LTE.
