I also tink so

Today use my iPhone 5 for the first day with 100% at 8am+.

I do notice the battery drained real fast and ard 3pm+ I am already down to <20%.
During these period of usage I occasionally check mails and light surfing the net and whatsapp group chat.

Not sure if this is normal but my prev iPhone 4 seem to perform better.

Perhaps the battery need to cycle a few times before it can be optimized?
Also regarding whatsapp, I have colleagues on s3 and prev iPhones that complain that it's a battery usage hogger!?

whatsapp + 4g here, no problem at all

whatsapp + 4g here, no problem at all

Seriously, please use the phone as per normal. Stop worrying here and there and forcing yaselves to stop using Whatsapp, 4G and etc.

A phone is meant to be used and enjoyed, so please just use it normally.

Run out of battery, just charge. Buy extra charger to office will do.

Sheesh.

Thanks, but my phone don't have this "-> Cellular ->" option.

Setting -> General -> Mobile Data -> LTE

if your language is set to british english, then you should look for "mobile data" instead of cellular.

oic, learnt something new. Thanks and yes, I check it is british english. Should I change to english instead?

 

[Axela72]

Setting -> General -> Mobile Data -> LTE

After mobile data there is no LTe option. only either 3G on or off. Think like other bro mentioned here, no LTE for starhub

[brightside]

anyone here successfully changed their phone with their telco? whats the procedure like? do they test it very stringently?

 

[palmtungsten]

Everyone experience is different. I am thinking whether it is io6 or iPhone 5 that causes the battery to drain like nobody businsss.. Some reported that after upgrade to iOS 6 on iPad and iPhone 4s and below, battery also drained

So it maybe ios 6 and not iPhone 5
