Why is my iPhone 5S battery going so fast?

You and me both my 5s is taking such a huge hit in battery it's not even funny u sound just like me with the 5s I never had this problem with my 5 and I also use LTE and I tether to my iPad mini all day and stream pandora and I could get a day easy out of my iPhone 5 but my 5s I'm lucky to get even 6 hours

Hey I fell u there bro me too I think the same but there out of stock of every **** 5s and no idea when they will get new stock in I plan to change to the gold color anyway if they ever get it in.

But as for the battery yes it's terrible I hope it's just a iOS 7 bug I turned off the app background refresh I'll see how thst goes once it finishes charging im using t mobile 5s 64gb if that helps anyone who could find out this **** battery issue

I'm having the same problem. I turned off background refresh straight off the bat, as it just screamed "battery hog." Last night I put the 5s on my nightstand with 83% at about 11 pm, on standby. Woke up at about 7 am to a battery at 35%! Love this new device but am completely disappointed with the battery, hope something comes up soon to fix this.

I feel your pain. I did some research the night I got the 5s and did everything to make my battery life better. I turned off location services, disabled LTE, reduced motion, turned off background refresh and the auto app updates. Everything g people suggested, I did. My phone on Friday night was at 100%. So like you, I unplugged it. I went to bed around 11:30 that night. 9 the next morning, my phone was down to 42%. ***????

Have you all installed the 7.0.1? It came out yesterday and seemed to help my battery life. Also, if you set up your iPhone 5S from a previous back up I would go into your settings up and go to General -> Reset-> reset all network settings. Try that and see of that helps. Last option would be to restore your iPhone by plugging it into iTunes and selecting restore. You computer will download the latest software and install it on your phone. I would then NOT reload a backup and start a new iPhone. You will need to download all your apps and set up your iPhone but this has been know to work.

Hope this help.

Try the resetting the network settings. Other then entering wifi again you won't loose any info.

It's bad for you guys but reassuring for us iPhone 5 owners who also have this problem. At least there should be some solution from Apple if the new phone is affected too. Lousy testing of this software! What on earth are Apple playing at? Still silence from them as usual.

Another thing I believe is very important, and seems to have helped me, is to make sure your 'push' email function is turned off. You want to 'fetch manually'.

The iPhone 5S battery is AWFUL! I went from 100% to 0% TWICE yesterday and I didn't even use it much. It drains just sitting idle.

Thinking of using my 30 day return policy with ATT and getting a different phone if Apple doesn't solve this.
