iPhone 5s average battery life

I purchased an iPhone 5s several weeks ago and have noticed the battery drains quite quickly (1% every 2-3 minutes). General usage has included web browsing, reading email and rss feeds and watching some videos on YouTube, but no gaming. On average I'm getting 7-8 hours usage and a day's worth of standby time. I've also noticed the battery drains 3-5% overnight when it is standby.


I have turned off bluetooth, push email, siri, location services for everything apart from maps and photos and background app refresh for everying apart from evernote, which I haven't really used yet. Screen brightness is set below 50% and on auto. Auto-lock is set to 3 minutes, The only settings I have left on are app auto updates and the parallax background effect. I am running iOS 7.0.4.


How does this experience compare with other iPhone 5s users?

iPhone 5s, iOS 7.0.4
