Better than iphone 5 ?

Mine full charged around 2am. Now still have 76%

You need to factor in that you will unconsciously spend more time playing with your new 5S

I noticed that background apps have a larger impact on the battery life in iOS7 than in iOS6.

Having only whatsapp in the background and the phone in standby mode, I noticed the battery dropped by about 15% after 8 hours. With no background apps running, the battery dropped by 1% after 8 hours. Both tests were done right after a full charge.

Now I shut down whatsapp after using it. iOS7 has more cons than pros.

Hmmm... perhaps you can try this:

All apps can also now take advantage of multitasking to keep updated in the background. Apple has worked to optimize the practice so it won’t deplete your device’s battery life—the system will look for factors like network connection strength, time of day, and push notifications to figure out when it should update apps. And it may refresh your frequently accessed apps—social networking programs, for example—more often.

Of course, you may want more specific control over which apps are accessing information in the background. Visit Settings > General > Background App Refresh to find a list of all the apps updating in the background, as well as a slider to deactivate them. If you’re concerned about battery life, you can toggle a switch to entirely deactivate background refreshing of apps.

Are you able to see whatsapp in that list?

My guess is whatsapp is not optimised for iOS7 yet (as usual, very slow in updating their apps), so they drain the battery a lot. Close the Whatsapp in the multitasking tray to save batt. No choice, app fault.

Hi this is mine...

 

[Winston7222]

Here's my iPhone 5..

Disable those features/functions that's of not use to you...

Edit : FYI, I had Parallax wall paper for Lock Screen, Dynamic wall paper for Home Screen & Updates enabled.

There is more to it than just 1 app. With every iOS upgrade, re-visit performance tuning is required.

Hint: Background App Refresh, Notification Center

One more Hint for those who understands networking: Multipath TCP

Used for some specific traffics only and tune accordingly...

Been using it, here is my opinion of the battery life. As advertised, apple claim to have approx 8hrs average for browsing etc.

Thats slightly more than 1% (1.2++%) per 6mins (1/10 of 60mins). I noticed roughly this rate of battery draining for general app use regardless browsing, camera, etc.

So as long as you drain 1% in 6mins or 10% in hour, it is still as advertised as apple. unless for the fact that you are playing game with your iphone then it will drain alot more.

Thats my layman opinion. Donwanna think too in depth and compare mAh.

Hmm I think battery life for me so far seems slightly worse than on my 5

Hi guys...

Just a survey on how long your iphone 5 or 5S battery last?

Can it last for one full day?

Also - do you all plug and charge your phones once you are in office at your desk?

Or it is still recommended to follow the charge only when the battery is below 20% rule.

My 5 can last full day, usually lest less than 25% when I sleep at around 12am. 5s still too early to tell going to give it a few days as I tweak the settings first

So far I feel 5s batt drains faster than 4s. Seems like something is sucking it dry. Eg, went out with 85% this morning. Didn't use it much except surfing for 5min. Now it's 58%.
