Battery life decreased after installing iOS 6.1.4

I recently updated the software of my iPhone 5 to iOS 6.1.4. I did not actually find any difference in the new update, so i guess it's related to the background processes; however, eversince the upgrade, the battery life on my phone decreased dramatically.


Currently, on minimum Phone, SMS, & Email basic usage (3 to 4 times), the battery lasts (in best cases) for 5 hours.


I have tried to reset the phone settings one by one, and again full phone reset, tried to backup & restore the phone; however, nothing worked.


The phone is less than 5 months old, and I am very organised in recharching, as I always recharge it before it reaches 20% of the battery (that was before the software update, as now the phone gets to shut down alot), never overcharged the phone, and I only use the cable and charger provided with the phone at the time of purchase (I do not thing the cable would live long as i use it at home, in car, at the office, and during social visits).


Please help.

iPhone 5, iOS 6.1.4

Hello Shiblie,


Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. If you are having issues with the battery life on your iPhone 5, there are a few things can be done to troubleshoot this issues. The first is to check your usage and standby time. If you look at it from your last full charge and your usage is higher than what you think it is, then you will be looking at some process on the phone that is running in the background. The next thing would be to restore the iPhone but do not restore from backup.
