Q: My battery life has gotten worse over time on my iphone5S. It now only lasts a couple of hours on minimal use. I have had battery replaced and it made no difference. Any had the same issue and known resolution?

    I would take it back to where you got the battery replaced as it should have made a difference. Also look at this article for suggestions, specially turning Background App Refresh to OFF.

    Thanks for your reply! I took phone into store and had battery replaced with a brand new battery but when I returned for refund they had thrown my old Battery in the bin so I was told another older battery was put in. The battery life is actually better with the second hand battery over the new battery.. I did have a look at the link your provided earlier but couldn't find an answer. Cheers Jen
