Toying with getting an iPhone 5S from Target for $200 as I find my old LG39C just doesn't do much of anything very well. Lousy camera etc. Plus its battery is in due of replacing, as it won't hold a charge past about 3 days. I realize it's about $20 for a battery, but it's tempting to get the same iOS experience on my phone as my tablet. Same apps etc. Same cable connector. But a vastly better camera with flash.
Question: what should I expect for battery life? I'd have cell and bluetooth on, WiFi off. No real usage, pretty much continuous standby. My LG39C would go 5+ days like this, at least until recently.
I did stop at Walmart this morning, and the larger 4.7" screens are indeed nicer; but I don't think it's worth $400-500 for a phone, not to me. I'd rather spend $500 on a new iPad Mini 4 7" tablet, and get a new battery for my Android. Ultimately a 7" screen hits a great balance of portability and usability; but even still, it's a bit too large to pocket carry most of the time. So seeing a $200 option is kinda tempting. [I do have a point and click camera which I use occasionally, but it runs on AA's and gets about 10 pictures using flash before the batteries toss low battery warning.]
