I am having the same problem.. Tried everything but nothing has worked so far...
my 5s is like a year old and has around 350 charge cycles

the battery is going like crazy and i constantly have to carry a backup battery with me all the time

I dont think so that my battery is about to die because it was working great like a week ago until i updated.....

Two exactly two year old, 32gb ipads here, lose charge while plugged-in, if in use, now. Last Apple product I buy.

Yikes! iPhone 5s 32GB about 13 months old. Killing my battery but only after iOS 8.1.2 update!

This morning dropped 39% after 5 very short messages, no photos or attachments. I checked Usage and it shows Messaging at 36% and everything else at nearly nothing but the Home & Lock Screen at 11%. 372 charge cycles and battery life fine prior to this update being pushed.

Phone has been optimized for battery life with all legit battery saving tips applied.

Something's up!

Hope this can be rectified before too long . . .

Same problem here, iPhone 5s 32GB, brand-new...

Please Apple do something for battery

Hi Jaberboss

I did start a similar thread on this issue myself, but seeing what I've read here I hope you're ok with me adding it here to

This one is a true case of a phone with zero potentail (electrically)

OK, I've done the rounds on this one, whereby I'm just adding to the list of complaints so that (hopefully) the powers that be, or not, in my phones case, might listen.

Since updating my just over 12 month old 5s to 8.1.2, it has turned into a bag of spanners in respect of its battery life. Its literally gone from 24 or so hours between charges to less than 8 !!

I have tried shutting all the apps down and even had it sitting in full airplane mode, where i've left it alone with the screen off, yet its dropping around 1% every 3 to 4 minutes, blinding!! Checked battery usage in settings after 30 minutes, guess what standby 29 minutes usage 1 minute.

Also tried the full restore, but to no avail, still a bag of spanners!

(slight update here) Even took the SIM out with it in airplane mode and deleted all apps and a full reboot - same thing!

Does anyone remember the good old days of a fixed land line, where the phone had to be plugged into the wall before you could actually use it? lol

Nothing like a bit of retro ay, but some how I cant see this one catching on Mr Apple. Thanks

Guys, the same here. I've just upgraded to iOS 8.2.1 and the battery last just for 4 hours. Some blogs have the same opinion, and sometimes they recommend to turn off some atributes in order to save battery, but... come on, I would not buy a product which I have to cut its resources in half in order to save battery. It just happened after the upgrade. Apple is getting closer and closer to vanish from my life.

If you want all the options On then yes it'll consume more power, just like leaving all the lights and appliances on in your home. Want to save some power in your home? Turn off some of the lights and appliances. Want to save some power on the phone? Turn off some of the options.

😠😢 ios 8.1.2 is a smooth update but then bettry drained like **** I charged it till 62% and then after 3 minutes it jumped at 51 and then 41 in next 3 minutes it jumps at 36 and then 26% i have iphone 5 model MD297B/A plz help this by sending new update with bug fixes

I think you don't get the idea. It's not about saving; it's about spending properly. Until I upgrade, I could use the phone for more than 1 day. Sometimes, overusing it by playing or messaging, It would last for 12 to 16 hours. I had the routine to recharge once a day. Just it. After the new iOS8.1.2, I can't leave my home without the recharger because in the noon I should recharge it. I have to recharge now 2 or 3 times a day, since this new upgrade.

So what troubleshooting steps have you done to try and fix the problem?

hey =D

So, I took some steps:

1- Reset all network settings. Nothing has changed.
2- Reset all the settings. Nothing has changed.
3- My las step was making a backup and then restore the device using itunes.
4- I've noticed apple this mourning, and they sent me something in my e-mail to click and back to them with some information about the phone. The told me that, by that diagnostics there was nothing wrong.

5- I am here, and its battery life still dropping 5% each 10 minutes

thanks for the answers =D
