why is my iPhone 5C battery life so bad?

Just 2 and a half hours of music / web browsing (Bluetooth Off, Background App Refresh Off, No Push Mail) drains my 2 month old phones battery to 14%. It dies so often that its becoming really unreliable as a phone!!

If none of that helps and you've eliminated any possibility of an app running in the backgroud, you may have a defective battery. Make an appointment at an Apple Store or call Apple Support and arrange to have the iPhone diagnosed.
