Wouldn't a bigger screen and higher res and more powerful processor to power than high res drain more battery.

Wouldn't a bigger screen and higher res and more powerful processor to power than high res drain more battery.
Agree but even if it is unscientific, looks like close to 40% wouldn't mind if the phone is thinner if at least matches the previous generation battery life.
I am hoping we are coming to end with thinness but another poster just mentioned that Apple could still go thinner by adding more cameras to compensate.
You are intitled to your opinion, but do you really think that that designers and engineers at Apple, Samsung, Nokia...etc aren't thinking about battery life?
Most users of iPhone 5s/5 have been fine with the battery life, and I am not sure how you are completely convinced that 4.7 will be stuggling when you haven't seen the specs at all.
I recall hearing the same battery concerns before the launch of iPhone 5/5s which turned out to be false for most users.
Touche. Even apple admits there are problems, funny other's can't.
I can't wait for an iphone with longer time, if it happens of course.
Due to faulty batteries. (and most users still didn't have an issue)
Nothing to do with the iPhone 5 being under powered due to the size of the battery.
Only 13% feel that way. The next category, which you are including there, says "Make the iPhone6 roughly as thick as the 5, which should result in slightly (10-20%) more battery life" and gets 32% of replies. "Make the iPhone6 roughly as thick as the 4, if that will give 6 hours (or 50%) additional battery life" gets 54% of replies. I posted this here and on other threads, and on FB. I encourage anyone else to post it on their Facebook wall or anywhere else they think a good cross section of the public frequents, to improve the quality of the respondents.

Erm are you being ironic?
It's a huge mAh for an ios device but that is not how you calculate battery capacity you really need watt hours, and the calculations put it ahead of most others not on par.
Right. the note 3 has 3200mAH, thinner than any competiting phone, has larger and higher resolution display (S-AMOLED), and is REMOVABLE.
What excuse do you have for apple's inferior design?
You think Apple's that dumb!!!!??? Why?

Scroll down to battery
Probably uses it.
I don't know. I'm just getting sick of everyone defending the company/product TO THE DEATH.
"What does a guy like you do to your poor..."
How accusing can you actually sound?
God forbid it could actually be THE PHONE (or the apps, or the carrier service/signal, or a plethora of other batter-zapping possibilities) and not the evil, wrongdoing end-user...
I have ZERO problems with my phone battery life but my horrible, no-good, puppy-kicking wife's battery dies much quicker, every day, than mine does.
I always find myself noticing that her battery icon is red, like the devil, so I can only assume it's her, personally, and not the phone, apps, usage, etc.
Dude. Relaaaaax. I know that some phones can, for one reason or another, have battery issues. But having to charge it MULTIPLE times a day isn't just from using it a lot. I can understand charging it once more if you're a really heavy user, but multiple times sounds like he's doing something wrong. (Assuming the battery isn't faulty, and that's not too terribly much to assume considering he's on a tech forum and probably would've thought of that.)
1. The iPhone 5s is thinner than the Note 3
2. There's been rumors that the 5.5 inch model will have 461 ppi, which is higher than the Note 3 or GS5
3. I never realized superior design consisted of cheap plastic
Anyway, usually when you increase the size of a device the battery increases. Look at the iPad for example.
I use it as a small computer.
Then it's obvious I am using it more as mine does not last all day. Simple. I have background refresh and a lot of stuff shut off to save battery also.
Battery life is a very subjective thing. If you work in Corporate America with Activesync setup for work, I can almost GUARANTEE you don't make it through the day assuming you get alot of emails from work. Some people can last a day, some a few hours. There isn't a "wrong" or "right" to it, its subjective.
That said, I had an iPhone5 and switched to a Note 3 in Feb. I love the screen size but my battery drains pretty quickly (moreso then I remember with my iPhone5) so assuming the 5.5 IS real and IS announced next week, I'm switching back. It doesn't make the Note3 any less viable as an option, but the bickering back and forth is pretty ridiculous for something that is so subjective as battery life correlated to use cases.

Doesn't need to be funny. He acted like he knew so much more than everyone else for months and now that leaks are coming out, he has to suck it up and take it. People are going to give him crap for it. Rightfully so.
How is that different than the other half of people here that acted like they knew so much more than him for months? I don't see one difference. There was just a difference in opinions, just because one difference in opinions might now be wrong (heck we still don't know who is "right" or "wrong") that makes it ok to every time a new post about the 5.5" phone is put out we have to personally call him out? I don't know, to me that seems worse than what he was doing and to me sinks you to a lower level.
im not blaming anything, if the device can operate normally and have iPad-like battery life then it would be revolutionary. Period.
I think we will know if there's a big market for phablets only after Apple releases the 5.5" model, there are lots of iPhone users that want a bigger phone but are not willing to switch to android, maybe it's just me, but I see the bigger model coming out soon.
