Is the battery life on 6th gen iPod touch really this bad?

Surfing the Internet on my new 64g iPod, no videos or games, with less than 50% brightness gets me about 2 hours. I've exchanged it 3 times. Is the battery life just really bad? (I purchased from Best Buy)


THanks for tips and your experiences!

iPod touch, iOS 9.1

Try to reset your device. This won't delete your data stored on this device.

  • Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button
  • Press and hold on the Home button
  • Keep holding both buttons until the display turns off and back on with Apple logo on it.

Alternatively, you may go to Settings - General - Reset - Reset All Settings


If this does not help, restore your device to factory settings. Note that this will erase the data from your device.

Take a look this Apple Support article: Use iTunes to restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support.
