Q: iPhone 5 battery life is way worse than iPhone 4

ok chaps, Carat has returned a J score. I am J36, how about you ??

(Hour)60 divided by 3 minutes = 20.  20 x 1% = 20% per hour.  5 hours of usage before battery dead.

I was going off usage. Not stand by.

(Hour)60 divided by 3 minutes = 20.  20 x 1% = 20% per hour.  5 hours of usage before battery dead.

What kind of math is this? Where are you getting your numbers?

Here is mine:

I didn't get to a 100% charge this morning. I only got to 98% before I had to go to work.

So I have 3.15 hours of usage. That would equal 9.26 hours of usage. Or 9 hours and 15 minutes of usage when converting the decimal back to minutes. This is considering that I didn't get the full 100% charge today.

Me too.

I was going off the numbers the previous user posted. He lost 5% in 37 minutes of usage.

Roger/gotcha.

so then i would say go with the iPhone 4s? would that be correct? or should i get the iPhone 5?

Get the 5 if you're using an upgrade. You can always switch it to 3g mode if LTE is spotty in your area.

Plus with an upgrade, you usually sign a 2 year contract. Don't get stuck with old tech.

I honestly believe the main battery issue is LTE. When I turn it off, my battery lasts way longer.

Anyone elses iPhone stop showing usage statistics for "Time since last full charge"? I'm really trying to analyze my battery life using some of the recs on this discussion but all it shows is 2 dashes. It's been happening since yesterday. I ran til the battery was depleted last night then charged to 100%. All usage and diagnostic settings are still set to ON.

Did you have the iphone 4s before?

okay so go with the 5 I am a bit concerned with the glitches though what about those?

You'll be fine. I had a 4 before. There really aren't any glitches I've seen with the 5.

Just mainly people getting ones that have scratches or dings. Which you can just exchange it anyway.

The other gripe people have is the lack of accessories and the battery issue.

okay and the battery is just the lte issue  okay thank you so so much!!

Battery life is >12 hours total and you haven't seen any 'glitches' with the 5?  LOL

Surely you jest...or your a troll. 

so what are your takes on the iPhone 5??
