I kinda do the whole rapper thing, so I'll leave my iPhone on standby for a little while with music paused until I finish a song (writing verses, rapping, editing, mixing.) *Then I wanna sit in sun, so I'll have music on a while after that, hopefully.


9:10AM: Used Safari about 10mins. 40% left. Back on standby now.

9:22AM: Got text, replied. *Prolly gonna have a mini-conversation now.

10:46AM: Finished recording music. *Now playing music (not my own) on iPhone.

Standby: 10 hours, 15mins

10:48AM: FaceBook, Twitter, & The Spot now.

11:11AM: Refreshed MacForums page on Safari.

11:15AM: 20% battery. *Had 30% 23mins ago :/*

Usage: 8 hours, 30mins

Standby: 10 hours, 43mins


Apps used:

FaceBook

The Spot (music-related app)

Twitter

Rdio (music streaming app)

Mail

Safari

Notes (what I'm typing this in)

App Store

Photos

Settings



If we were to assume 1hr lasts me that last 20%, then I can conclude I'd have used 9 hours, 35mins used, 11 hours, 20mins standby(?). Is that decent? Could it be improved? Does your battery last less or more?

iPhone 4S, iOS 5.1
