Battery is only as good as the strength of your signal. When I'm at work, my signal is shit and my battery will drain fast especially streaming music and radio. Once I get outside, it's fine. Anyone who works at a computer shouldn't have any issues getting a cheap usb cord.
SIII's or Android in general because i haven't heard of many people complaining about battery life on the SIII. Of course if you're on LTE all day, it'll drain.
The GS3 like most LTE phones is always searching for an LTE signal. If your signal is weak it will destroy your battery life.
There are several podcasts apps where you can download the same podcasts that you listen to.
This is a mutha fucking lie fuck outta here this nigga got a bit apple
my gs3 battery last from 8am to 8-9pm damn near... im a power user also listen if you want a new phone the Galaxy s 3 is the best choice.

Funny
The battery life can be decent. On my Galaxy Nexus, I have the stock power widget on one my home screens. During normal daily use, I only have 2 items on...sync...and auto brightness. I leave wi-fi, gps, and bluetooth off unless i am using them. With low to moderate usage, I am getting 24 hrs or so out of a charge. I turn on location when i need to use Google Maps Navigation, and I turn on Bluetooth when pairing to my headset. I very rarely use wi-fi.
Your mom birthed a wack bitch so we're even
Is an app killer necessary to preserve battery life? If so what's recommended?
The battery life on my droid razr is phenomenon.
For the life of me I can't understand why some people have an issue with battery life on the GS3. I'm on it a lot, and also use it as a hot spot when I'm at work for internet connection and have no issues at all with the battery life? 
Not needed. Give it a few days to let the battery settle in.
When I first got my S3 I used the available battery until it ran all the way down. I got it at around 1pm and it finally died at around midninght. That was with the usual heavy use after first getting a new phone. I then put it on the charger so that it would charge completely over night. My phone lasts all day without a charge no matter what I'm doing. GPS is always on, bluetooth is off and wifi is on automatic. I keep screen brightness at about 90%.
Then yours may be defective. I have one and my battery life is outstanding. I can easily get through the entire day without a charge.
I'd be MAD as hell if I had to have an iPhone over the S3! I had the iPhone from 07-10 and then made the switch to the EVO....and unless they make radical changes and get caught up with the times, I'd never go back! Especially dealing having to sync it with iTunes. The S3 is so far superior in just about every way.
But if anyone is contemplating it, if you still want that stale and boring user experience...go with the iPhone
That's the motherfucking kicker right there. LTE sucks battery life up like no other. It and the screen brightness are the two primary reasons battery life goes down so fast on Android phones. Apple people probably aren't used to this because they've never had LTE before. I can almost guarantee you that IP5 users will be complaining about the battery life once they experience LTE.
Just do like I do and disable LTE when you don't need it and lower the screen brightness. Battery life will improve after performing those two steps. If you're looking to go one step further install a CPU governor app like "CPU Tuner". This will automatically throttle down your CPU speed based on certain factors like if your phone is idle, since you don't need your processor running at full speed when you're not doing nothing on the phone anyways. Governor apps require root access, but it's just another method of controlling battery consumption.
I recommend ZD Box. It's made by one of the guys over at XDA and it's like 7 tools in one app. That's the best app killer combination that I know of. Even has a widget for showing you how many apps are running in the background and how much RAM they are using. Can't go back to the others after I used it.
That's not a bad trade Coco to only pay $23.
Well keep us informed on your experience switching from iOS (iPhone) to Android (S3)
Did you maintain the same plan? Did they make you switch your data plan?
I still have the unlimited data plan and don't want to lose it.
Anyways my CocoBeauty
...Keep us informed my lady 
That BestBuy deal to get $210 is tempting, but I'm not goona fall for it.
Sticking to the iPhone4 for now.

really good analysis...
Final verdict
If we had to recommend just one handset of the three based on these specs right now,
The Samsung Galaxy S3 has a ton of really neat, innovative new features, but it also has far more trip-ups, which make for a less smooth experience overall. We still love the GS3, but the rich, highly customizable Android 4.0 interface is too much for some users, and many of Samsung's innovations, especially in content-sharing, are more complicated to use and not very universal.
We're also very excited to review the Lumia 920, which offers NFC, wireless charging, and promises of a gorgeous display. However, we're less enamored of Nokia maps, getting multimedia still isn't as robust as iOS or Android, and there's a question hanging over the camera, a major selling point for us. We'd also like to see how well wireless charging works; a stumble here would be a major stumble indeed.
iPhone 5 vs. Galaxy S3 vs. Lumia 920: By the number

Final verdict
If we had to recommend just one handset of the three based on these specs right now,
we would (narrowly) choose the iPhone 5.
Here's why: Out of these three phones, the iPhone 5 isn't the most innovative, but it is a reliable, intuitive package that earns top points for software and hardware reliability. Solid, strong design, LTE speed, and a proven camera that just gets better and better meets iTunes and app store robustness and the new iOS with turn-by-turn voice navigation.

The fucking sky must be falling and aliens running around this bitch because once again I agree with everything you say.
Never understood that as being a downside of Android...what person doesn't like customization of the products they own. Nobody wants something that looks exactly like what everybody else has.

I was able to grandfather into my unlimited everything plan, data included, because that was a major concern also.
Also unless you are using WiFi turn it off.
My S3 has great battery life. I listen to XMradio on the train on the way to work and watch a documentary or movie on the way home and still have at least 70 %..

I have used the advanced task killer by rechild with my last phone,,it's good to
most phone companies allow a 30 day trial. I know verizon does
Fucking that noise. 12 hour shift on WiFi battery cool then a mug. Apple fanboys love being told what to do by daddy Jobs. Running y'all from the grave

you can't really pay attention to people complaining about battery life UNLESS they tell you which carrier they're using, what apps they're running, their signal strength... on wifi, regular internet, or LTE.
if you have a shitty carrier (see t-mobile) and you're streaming movies or music on LTE + RUNNING other apps and multi-tasking, your battery will be dead, quick.
if you're on wifi with AT&T, listening to music and NOT doing shit else, your battery will perform differently.
