I was wondering the same as I upgraded from 5 to 5s and it seems like the 5s gets nowhere close to 5 in terms of battery life. I have tried adjusting my settings and get plenty of standby hours but usage hours max at 5hrs I was wondering if they count the standby hours in the average. If standby is counted then go in settings and turn off unnecessary location services and background app refresh. I get like 18hrs of stand by and 5 of usage this way. I also turn off wifi and blue tooth if I'm not using them. I have seen other phone that get way less so I don't complain.

I've upgraded from 4S only couple of weeks ago. Battery life was really bad.


I really didn't want to loose all my messages etc so really didn't want to setup phone as new.


Resetting all settings (not content!) solved the issue for me.


Right now I'm on 12% with 8 hours and 14 minutes of use and 1 Day and 1 Hour of standby. And I live in a poor-signal area (screenshot taken at work with good signal 🙂 )... I don't think I was ever able to get that with 4S.
