To get a better handle on the iPhone 5's battery life we decided to subject the company's first 4G LTE smartphone to talk time tests. After all the dust settled, our tests produced some surprising call time numbers
Since it's the first device in the iPhone franchise to boast an 4G LTE connection I was really curious to see how this device stacks up against other phones in terms of staying power. That has been many a mobile gadget's undoing. All you have to do is think back to HTC's groundbreaking 4G LTE handset, the Thunderbolt or even the vaunted Evo 4G on Sprint WiMax to catch my drift. Both these products had great specs for their time but burned through their batteries lickety split when connected to fast data networks.
