how long is the normal battery life of iphone 5?

That really depends on the settings and usage of the user of the iPhone (5).

We have two iPhone 4S phones and we have an average battery time of 1-1,5 day (when using it for e.g. a few calls, texts, mail, news apps and a short video for e.g. total of 3-4 hours) or even 2 days (if i don't use my phone much almost 90% stand-by time) and with WIFI connecting for about 90-95% of the day and ofcourse phone network but no 3G.

Aside from that we have the following settings:

- bluetooth off

- screen brightness set to approximately 30%

- fetch e-mail accounts once an hour (Settings > E-mail, calendar .. > deselect 'Push' and set it to either Fetch e.g. once an hour)

- do not refresh any apps in the background (Settings > Refresh apps on background)

- apps that use GPS are limited (Settings > Privacy > Location tracking)

- only have a few apps (5-10) that are allowed to send push notifications

- only have a limited amount of apps to send messages to 'Notification center' or e.g badgets/strips/sounds/apps symbol or on your 'Access screen' (See Settings > Message center > check settings per app)

I think that 3G uses more battery then WIFI so if you have WIFI access then use that instead of 3G.

This is very specific information of your battery usage thank you! this also helped me 🙂

Im getting the iphone 5s next month 🙂
