Apple claims the capacity of the batteries on the iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c went up. But by how much?

Apple improved the battery by 'S' much...
Burn that 64-bit table and let's see how long it lasts.

"PA added Posts and Member nice beside username, nice work..."

Now all they need to do is remove the time limit on editing posts. Just put an edited on date & time stamp on the edited post (like just about every other blog site) and that will be a HUGE improvement.

Software optimization? We all know apple is good with that. I think battery life should be pretty good.

Right and the Nexus 4 has an awesome battery life.

iPhone 5 has not bad results but at the same time not good considering that it has only 4 inch screen and lover than HD resolution. And talking about the talk time results, it is total shame!

At 330 ppi and 400nits brightness it's one of the best screens you will ever see.

How is that related with my comment #16 ?

One of the best screens?
Being 4 inches ( not even midranged in my book). Sub HD with a pixel density on par with what an iPhone 4 did when it launched, you really are telling me this is one of today's best displays?

Nexus 4 web browsing and video playback time is hilarious lol

Iphone 5 gave me good battery life while web browsing and it charges very quickly but really sucks while playing FIFA 13

May be it has something to do with the app/game itself???? Like fb app draining battery.

C'mon dude, we're not buying that. Show proof, during the hour and fifteen minutes I workout, I leave the screen auto lock set to never and play music. It only drops about 5-7%. You are lying.

You're seriously comparing screen on/music to playing a game?
I'm not saying he's telling the truth perse. But you can't compare playing music to playing a game, not even close.

He can if he's streaming music and using LTE. There's a difference between playing your iPod and playing Spotify, Pandora, iTunes Radio, Rdio, etc etc.....

60. VZWuser76 (Posts: 4783; Member since: 04 Mar 2010)

That's very true, but it still isn't as resource intensive as playing a game. With streaming music with the screen on I'd imagine the components active would be the display (displaying a static image and changing during the next song), the radios (wifi or LTE), the file manager, and the speakers.

With a game you're looking at the display, the screen touch input, the gpu (has to work much harder to display motion images vs a single image), the file manager, the speakers, and the radios (if the game is online play).

Even comparing streaming music with the display on vs game play offline, there is still more resources being used for gaming. The resources to register touch inputs and the gpu make a big difference. I'm not saying a phone utilizing any other OS would be any better either. The reason most android phones have such larger batteries is due to true multitasking and a larger, higher resolution display. But in many cases even with that larger battery will bring them to parity with an ios device simply because the larger display will draw more. The only exceptions would be phones like the Maxx series and those with extended batteries (3000 mAh+). It's not a knock against the iphone, I'm simply stating that it is possible that the OP's experience could have happened.

29. VZWuser76 (Posts: 4783; Member since: 04 Mar 2010)

It is possible for both of you to be right. While your screen may be locked on, you are not interacting with the touchscreen itself like youwould if you were playing a game. Everytime he'd do a press to make the game do something, that's a function the phone has to carry out. Whereas playing music, until it gets to the next song, you're only having it play music and keep the screen lit, but in that same amount of time (say 3-4 minutes) he might have made up to 500 functions playing that game.

It would really all depend on the game being played as well. Games like FIFA 13 or Call of Duty will obviously require more button presses and display more intense graphics than say Angry Birds or solitaire. That's another thing, when your playing music you most likely have a static screen displaying the album cover. But playing a game would bring the gpu heavily into play as well, much more so than a static image.

I'm not saying he couldn't be lying, but you gotta really compare apples to apples (bad pun I know).

Why set to never? Oh, probably because it can't play music while locked. Or you have to actually unlock it to change a song and can't directly from the lockscreen AHAAHHAHA DROID DOES

59. darkkjedii (Posts: 24915; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)

I would explain why I set it to never, but why even bother...

I think you give them too much credit. If an LG G2 was running IOS on a 3000 may battery it would last twice as long as the iPhone 5. IOS is just wimpy non power hungry skin. Don't give them credit for being so linear with their software and hardware and see it as what it truly is. Apple copping out and creating a great scam. Make your software so limited and simple that it doesn't require powerful hardware or big batteries but charge people octa core and 4000 mah prices and keep all the profits without passing any of the savings on to the consumers, ever.

If an iPhone 5S was running iOS7 on a 3000 bat, it would surely last twice as long too. Lmfao.

62. Taters (banned) (Posts: 6474; Member since: 28 Jan 2013)

Yes and that was my point. Lol its not good hardware and software. Its just software.

You have no idea what you're talking about.
