Opinions on iPhone 5 Battery Life

What are some of your opinions on the iPhone 5 battery life to those who have it? I think it's pretty decent, because I was at a new year's eve party on monday and I had like 3% left, and I was like oh sh-t how am I gonna get a ride home? I needed a ride because I had a few, but I still knew I couldn't drive, however that's neither here nor there. The 3% turned into 1% after 2 hours of non use, but I was able to call my friend to get home safely.

What are your opinions?

My iPod 4G is still on after 5 days of idle. It's on 30% haha. I guess the iphone battery wouldn't be too bad.

It is definitely better than the 4S but lousier than my old LG Android phone. The android phone was running an old version of Android OS though.

It's good. It's even better if you have a life outside of your phone it last even longer.

Don't listen to this i[b]d[/b]iot, he trolls on everything Apple and tries to be anti-mainstream and side with the now "overrated" Android Products.

From my experience, my iPhone's battery life wasn't as good as that of a Note 2 or GS3 (the Note 2 has a gargantuan battery 3100 mAh) but I can still go through 2 school days of moderate use with my phone.

PS. Off topic but despite owning an iPhone, the Galaxy Note 2 had alot of fun features and is a great phone.

I feel like my iPhone 4 had a better battery life comparatively to the 5.

It's perfect, nothing I would change about it.

While I agree with your statement that the iPhone's battery life is something to laugh at, apple has recognized their battery life as a downfall to iProducts. I had a Sony Ericson Vivas Pro and an iPod Touch. my iPod like never actually died (similar to my iPhone except one time I didn't charge it for like 3 days, and it was dead when I found it) because I charge it like every night, however my Vivas Pro would use battery even when it was off. I would turn it off when i wasn't using it, and most of the time, even turned off, it would only last like 12 hours max. That's right, my phone is turned OFF using as little battery as possible for the whole 12 hours. with it on and in standby mode it would last 5 hours if I was lucky, and using it during it being on standby, I would get 3 hours max.

iPhone battery isnt the worst out there.

I've lasted from 2am-10:30pm during a road trip. So not too bad.
Oh, music was on the entire time and I texted pretty often, especially at the last 20%
