It sat at 1% FOREVER ... couldn't get the phone to die lol ... then I had to boot up 2 more game Apps for a few minutes before it finally shutdown. | What's your usage time per day?

Hmm... I don't really keep track but roughly ... on average about 10-20min of talk time, text messages back and forth thoughout the day (let's round it to around 50?) ... killing time on a few Apps for about 15-30min (while I'm doing something ELSE  ), surfing the net when I need to google something, watch youtube for about 5-10min.
I'm not necessarily a "power user" but I think I'm quite average?

Ah! It says 2 hours, 16 Minutes since last full charge.
60% now since this morning.
Not sure what they calculate as usage though? Does it mean as long as the phone is unlocked?

Damn with lte off I get the same battery life as my 4s. Last me from 7 am and by midnight it's at 20% with moderate use. I don't use lte as much as the signal seems weaker..

If you're in an area with weak LTE then it will suck more power. This was discussed earlier in the thread. I can't imagine how crappy LTE was last year.

After having the 5 for a week now I gotta say I'm pretty disappointed with its connectivity, LTE does not load pages most of the time with 4 bars, it hangs then I need to refresh the page and my home wifi connection which was flawless with my 4 does not even work 80% of the time sitting 2 feet away from the router
Also the chick at the apple store said they are discontinuing bumpers and none for the 5? Wtf...

^ Sounds like you need to return it. Mine works perfectly with my WiFi at home and work, and when LTE has good strength I get very fast speeds. Only problem I've had is poor LTE in many areas, but that's the carrier.

It gets better as the battery gets broken into. I found after 10-15 cycles the battery was much better than when it was new.

WTF, my iPhone won't charge anymore. It's not the cord, or the charger.

I would have to say battery life was best on the first day for me, but I guess it was because I wasn't constantly texting or using whatsapp.

Are the phones from Canada(Unlocked) and HK identical? or are the bands/LTE networks different?

LTE bands are different. This is why in various phone threads, people usually note whether or not it's the international version or the north American version.
Hsdpa is the same though.

That's why I'm waiting for the next version of the phone to have all the LTE bands of the world.

Keep waiting, but with a company like Apple, i doubt it will happen any time in the near future. Quote:

Its in Apple's interest to offer a single SKU for their product rather than multiple SKU's. If they can sell the same phone in multiple regions, it saves them production costs.

But they also try to keep it different. That way, resellers would not be able to oversea ship the iPhones for profit. Apple is actively trying to reduce resellers  | |

Company like Apple want to sell one product to fit all region.
You are thinking about other companies that have regional differences for the same product Quote:

Posted via RS Mobile | if you don't need it right away
there are rumors right now saying Apple Retail store will have unlocked device starting Mid Nov http://www.iphoneincanada.ca/iphone-...late-november/
Or go Apple Store and buy a 16gb locked to Fido and then pay 50 dollars to get it unlocked from Fido
