iPhone 4S without battery bugs...how does the battery life compare to the iPhone 4?

[omelet1978]

I have 2 iPhones. An iPhone 4 with Verizon and an unlocked 3GS that I use for international travel. Since Verizon allows you to unlock the 4S after 2 months I'm thinking of selling both which will pretty much cover the cost of getting a new iPhone 4S off eBay.

My only hold up is battery life. For people without the battery draining issue how does it compare to the iPhone 4? I typically get about a day and a half out of the iPhone 4 and battery life is fairly important to me.

I found the battery life EXACTLY the same as my iPhone 4 actually. I got about 2 days with my iPhone 4 of light use (basically I'm a heavy texter and usual use for me is nothing but texting so I guess that can be classed as light use since I didn't use voice or data.) and my iPhone 4S was exactly the same life span. I in fact had my usage from both phones screen capped and I think at the outmost my iPhone 4 under my normal use had 2 Days and 6 hours of standby before the battery died, and my iPhone 4S had 2 days and 16 hours of standby before it died so I am very confident in saying that it has the same battery life as the 4. In fact, here are the screen caps showing their use just before they died. (First one is iPhone 4, second one is Iphone 4S)
