Here is some information for iPhone batteries: Apple - Batteries

There is also a .pdf file available here: iPhone User Guide (For iOS 6.1 Software)

That is very bad according to my calculations... 20 plus% per hour!! My daughter is using iPhone 5 and she's a music lover and video's and talking and mailing and texting, and she got about 16% per hour. My wife's iPhone 5 is doing about 13% per hour and everything is on... location services, notifications, push e mail etc etc.... my own 4s, with everything on is about 15% per hour max.

What I would have tried - lower screen brightness and set push off... switch on only necessary location services and check. If I want to drain my 4s quickly to let it die for once a month zero to 100%, I switch my screen to full brightness and watch you tube videos.... but, although I'm no expert, I would say screen and videos/video games can be one of the culprits....

Sorry.... face book - my wife is on face book all day. It doesn't seem that fb is using that much. My daughter's iPhone 5 is playing music and she is texting and mms a lot, and her usage is a lot more....

Ok I turn push off and I got the screen less then half brightness hope this works I feel like I'm limiting my phone tho

Something's not right. I keep my brightness at 90% always, leave wifi and locations on always and get way better battery life. I have verizon so I'm always in LTE mode. I basically charge every other day

I have sprint and have LTE sometimes

Well I think carrier has a lot to do with it, because it could be constantly searching for lte, where vz is always lte because it has such better service. But I still think something could be wrong

I'm going to take my 5 to apple see what they say but I do believe is sprint

Also do you guys use your phones a lot (heavy use) because I do

I would think how you use it would trump how often it is used. For example, using the phone for resource-heavy games would result in shorter battery life versus using the phone for reading text files. Wouldn't this hold true?

Well, Lithium batteries get better over time, at least that is what I have seen on my iPhone 4S, iPhone 5 and iPad mini. So, hopefully your mileage won't vary too much.
