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

Here are the readings of my wife's iphone 4S using the same app. Clearly showing the 4S has more battery power than the Iphone 5. Note that the 4S specs advertise 1432mAh and is off by only 2mAh where the Iphone 5 is off by 16mAh...

My iPhone 4 says: 3.7v / 1420mAh would that be accurate for the iPhone 4? Guys we really need to get to the bottom of this.. I heard rumors of them knowing about bad batteries beforehand and sending the phone out regardless. Looks like that is really what happened.. Not ok.

checked with battery doctor and got back 1424, checked with this app, 360 battery saver and got 1440

Same for me..

So i guess now the objective wld b to find one more app to get a third reading right??

I'm going to try to write to both of these app creators and ask if they are pulling readings via an API or posting a number from a spec sheet. It's very VERY odd that you get 1424mAh from one and 1440mAh from another if they are indeed reading this from the phone as opposed to posting a number.

I have the same specks.

And the emails have been sent.

Mine is showing as 1440 in that app as well. I've written to both authors and asked the question of whether or not this is a reading or a number they have hard coded (posting) into that particular list of stats. I would make the argument that the app I posted is doing actual readings since we have two different voltage numbers from an iPhone 5.

Found another app but too cheap to pay $2.99 for it when it is displaying 1440mAh in the screen shots so it might b bias. App is called System Status if any one wants to go out on a limb and test it.

That 360 Battery Saver app might b accurate. Just checked the wife's iphone 4S and it showed 1420mAh. Not the 1432 as advertised so I dont know what to think.

Im wondering if the battery drain is caused by iCloud?

I have disabled the iCloud "documents and data" setting, but when i load my iPhone 5 into iExplorer, it shows me this:

However on my iCloud storage settings, it shows no data there:

Is it possible that the iPhone icloud is trying to sync folders from apps that should not be there?

Ive tried deleting in iExplorer but it will not delete.

I've also tried deleting these folders from my Mac ( /Users/####/Library/Mobile Documents/ ) but every time i reconnect the iPhone they appear.

Any thoughts on how to delete these from iPhone for good?

Mines reading 3.8v 14.24 mAh on the battery doctor chinese one first reccomended to use.

The fact that we are getting different numbers for voltage would lead me to believe that these are dynamic readings. There's no logical reason to post different numbers on different devices outside of Apple's published spec otherwise. I'm just trying to get confirmation from the producer of that app now. Unfortunately I think we're both losing something in translation on the emails. As soon as I have a definitive answer I'll post back here.
