how long does your iphone 5 battery last?

It really depends on how you use it.

I was using data on 3g and it only lasts for 6 hours. Data is really eating battery. But I tried once using WiFi, and it lasted longer. So I recommend WiFi for iPhone users.

my iphone 5 battery yesterday:

8h23min usage

23h 5min stand by

and still I had 21%

if someone is interested I'll tell my steps

Sunday to Tuesday is pretty good. Of course it all depends on how much your phone communicates with the outside, and I don't just mean making calls or texting. A lot of apps (Apple's and others) communicate with the web every day (e.g. icloud backups, if you have that turned on). Battery life varies a lot depending on use and background activity.

here they are, hope this steps will help you:

I downloaded SYSTEM UTL DASHBOARD(app store)

look at the instructions at battery

then I closed all apps and reboot

then opened app SYSTEM UTL DASHBOARD, at battery settings turn ON ALARM WHEN FULL CHARGE

turn on airplane mode until full charge( I used to charge my phone in this way at night when I go to sleep)

In my iphone I had differences with my battery life hope it will help u to,o)

P.s sorry for my english.

My first iPhone lasted 8-9 hours, but that was when I was on Edge. My iPhone now is on 4G and it only lasts about 6 hours with 20 hours of standby time. This is with light usage, such as texting, checking email, and Facebook and such. When I play games or stream videos on YouTube, the battery drops much quicker and I only get about 4-5 hours of usage on a full charge.

My battery usually lasts a day, unless I make heavy use of it. I charge it overnight, every night, so I know I will get through the next day. Just enjoy the phone and don't obsess about the battery life.

My iPhone 5 used to last the whole night and I would charge it every night. Lately, within the past two weeks or so, the battery life has decreased significantly down to about 4 hours with minimal use. Any reasons or suggestions for the sudden drop?

My wife and I upgraded from the iPhone 4 to iPhone 5 a couple of months ago. So far my iPhone 5 seems to get significantly worse battery life than the 4 did, but my wife's phone does better. If we fully charge both phones and then unplug them, hers will still show 99% battery many hours later... while mine shows more like 77%. I do have more apps than she has, but they are all the same apps I had on the iPhone 4. I have disabled Siri as well as location services and notifications for many apps... but it just doesn't make much difference. I am going to start tracking the actual usage from full charge (without partially charging in between full charges as I often do). I'm pretty good about charging whenever I can, but there are many times when my iPhone 5 seems to go from 40% to completely dead in a matter of a few hours.

Very useful!

Many thanks!

I have managed to eke up to 4 days (~90 hours) away from the power bricklet.

3G carrier link, WiFi for any Internet use - enable/disable as needed, Wireless Handsfree on BT for all calls, load only indispensable apps - Force Quit when done, no Push Notifications, Location Services off, 50% screen brightness, no music, 15 minutes of calls altogether.

Boring, you'd say, but it was a readiness exercise in case of catastrophe where power weren't readily available. Could have done a bit more calls, as it still had 18% charge at the end. i5, 64GB.

my result is NOT close to yours...

Hi I've got an iPhone 5 too but my usage is 53 mins and 22% has gone my standby is 5 hours is this normal and is my battery broken someone please help
