how long does your iphone 5 battery last?

I have managed to eke up to 4 days (~90 hours) away from the power bricklet.

3G carrier link, WiFi for any Internet use - enable/disable as needed, Wireless Handsfree on BT for all calls, load only indispensable apps - Force Quit when done, no Push Notifications, Location Services off, 50% screen brightness, no music, 15 minutes of calls altogether.

Boring, you'd say, but it was a readiness exercise in case of catastrophe where power weren't readily available. Could have done a bit more calls, as it still had 18% charge at the end. i5, 64GB.

Sunday to Tuesday is pretty good. Of course it all depends on how much your phone communicates with the outside, and I don't just mean making calls or texting. A lot of apps (Apple's and others) communicate with the web every day (e.g. icloud backups, if you have that turned on). Battery life varies a lot depending on use and background activity.

here they are, hope this steps will help you:

I downloaded SYSTEM UTL DASHBOARD(app store)

look at the instructions at battery

then I closed all apps and reboot

then opened app SYSTEM UTL DASHBOARD, at battery settings turn ON ALARM WHEN FULL CHARGE

turn on airplane mode until full charge( I used to charge my phone in this way at night when I go to sleep)

In my iphone I had differences with my battery life hope it will help u to,o)

P.s sorry for my english.

My first iPhone lasted 8-9 hours, but that was when I was on Edge. My iPhone now is on 4G and it only lasts about 6 hours with 20 hours of standby time. This is with light usage, such as texting, checking email, and Facebook and such. When I play games or stream videos on YouTube, the battery drops much quicker and I only get about 4-5 hours of usage on a full charge.

All rechargeable batteries have a limited lifespan and may eventually need to be serviced or recycled. Your own battery’s lifespan will vary depending on how you use your device as well as the settings you choose for it.

Your battery is designed to retain up to 80% of its original capacity at 500 complete charge cycles. The one-year warranty includes service coverage for a defective battery. If it is out of warranty, Apple offers a battery service for $79, plus $6.95 shipping, subject to local tax.

You can download an app called Battery Life through the App Store on your iPhone to see the current state of your battery. Likely, based on your explanation, it has deteriorated and is now in need of being replaced.

my iphone 5 battery yesterday:

8h23min usage

23h 5min stand by

and still I had 21%

if someone is interested I'll tell my steps

My wife and I upgraded from the iPhone 4 to iPhone 5 a couple of months ago. So far my iPhone 5 seems to get significantly worse battery life than the 4 did, but my wife's phone does better. If we fully charge both phones and then unplug them, hers will still show 99% battery many hours later... while mine shows more like 77%. I do have more apps than she has, but they are all the same apps I had on the iPhone 4. I have disabled Siri as well as location services and notifications for many apps... but it just doesn't make much difference. I am going to start tracking the actual usage from full charge (without partially charging in between full charges as I often do). I'm pretty good about charging whenever I can, but there are many times when my iPhone 5 seems to go from 40% to completely dead in a matter of a few hours.

A reminder to all: note that Apple has instituted an iPhone 5 Battery Replacement Program. If your phone qualifies, it will be replaced for free. Read the detais and check for qualification here: https://www.apple.com/support/iphone5-battery/

My battery usually lasts a day, unless I make heavy use of it. I charge it overnight, every night, so I know I will get through the next day. Just enjoy the phone and don't obsess about the battery life.

My iPhone 5 used to last the whole night and I would charge it every night. Lately, within the past two weeks or so, the battery life has decreased significantly down to about 4 hours with minimal use. Any reasons or suggestions for the sudden drop?

Do you think the battery life is affected by when you first get the phone and they say let it charge for so long before your first use? I was told that batteries were different now and didn't require such attention at first, but it seems like my standby time is not very long since I got my new phone and had to rush to use it before I was able to let it charge for a substantial amount of time.
