Although most people should get well over 14 hours on a single charge. I really don't think anyone will need an extended battery unless they are constantly using their phone, and those who do might consider waiting for a much larger battery to come out.
if only it were that simple! fact is, this is lithium ion, which varies in voltage as it is used up... so (to a degree) as the battery gets used, the supplied voltage goes down, thereby using a bit more amperage in the process. the extended battery will obviously last longer, but its just not as simple as measuring its % of raw delta in mAH and doing the algebra.
I would expect it to be just a slight bit less than 13.5% in a typical use-case scenario. but we wont know until the official specs are released, and even then we dont get an accurate picture because when do we ever get the actual amount of published use-time with our batteries?!?
