anyone on here got an I-phone 5 ? are you having problems with the battery life ? i must say i'm very disappointed with the battery. It only lasts half way through the day, then needs re-charging. The I-phone 4 was better than this.

I've got one and its quite good, I suppose it all depends how often you use it and for what. On the whole I'm very pleased with mine.

It might be the phone or its more likley to be the operating system. This article seems to be a common thread amongst iphone users.

There was a comparison between the iPhone 5, the Samsung Galaxy S3 and the Nokia Lumina on The Gadget Show last night. The iPhone battery died well before the others.......

smaller screen too so that surprises me. I have an S3 4g version and the battery life is pretty good, well it lasts a day of fairly hard use anyway

I saw that too, wasn't battery life an issue with the i-phone 4 also? You'd think Apple would have got this issue sorted by now.

look at your brightness on your settings, that saves lots of battery power if you lower that

I personally disagree about the samsung as I had one before the iphone 5 and the battery life on the iphone is far better than the samsung.

Our Samsung phones (Galaxy S and Galaxy Ace) last all day, and we're texting SMS and MMS, emailing, browsing, and running apps. No problems.

A lot of good tips for battery life on the link mentioned above. Good app management can often be the key!

My new Samsung Galaxy Note 2 seems to have an amazing battery life compared to the HTC it replaced despite having a huge screen. Maybe I'm not using it enough!

I think batteries are better, but at least 50% of the issue is how peeps use their devices. I only turn bluetooth on in the car, or when I can't be ar*ed connecting the lead to copy stuff.

Every little helps, but a quick check on mine shows 31% of battery use is actually cell standby. Not a lot you can do about that, on a mobile
