Really Apple? all the wonderful features mean fart if your darn phones dead all the time.........
(not an apple hater, but disappointed with this phone....and I don't find it very user friendly......)
FWIW I find battery life has more to do with your physical location than anything else.

Competition for a cell signal or poor signal makes the phone constantly hunt.

When I'm in Princeton I need to charge around 4-5 pm.

Boca I can get to the end of the day.

Dallas I can get 2 days easy out of the phone.

Dallas is also where I use it heaviest.

In 7 years in Dallas I've never had a dropped call from my end.

Where I lived in NY I was lucky to make a 5 minute call without it dropping at least once.
