How long is an iPhone 5's battery life?
Lithium batteries used in current smartphones including all Iphones are rated to last 500-1000 cycles. So charging the device once a day equates to around 1.5-2.5 year battery life. I have practically observed it on my previous phones from Samsung and Sony which had similar Li battery as iPhone 5.This is true for all laptop and phone batteries as they gradually wear chemically and loose ability to hold charge. For more longevity, keep Li batteries away from heat and don't store them fully discharged when not in use.Extra knowledge for geeks from my favourite gadget reviewer:Top 3 Battery Myths!:
Iphone battery replacement?
There is no battery replacement for an iPhone...(Black Market excluded). Speak to an Apple care rep, ask if phone is still under limited warranty. If it isn't the store may replace the phone for $79* if you can prove its a battery drained issue and you have AppleCare protection plan. They will make you perform some troubleshooting steps prior to replacing, but if the issues with your battery persist afterwards theyll replace it through their repair center. Things to try first before calling them... 1. Power cycle your phone (off and on) 2. Change settings on your phone such as how often your email checks for new arrivals. 3. Change settings on your apps, some apps may be running and you're not using it 4. Turn off Bluetooth and WIFI when not utilizing 5. Recalibrate your battery (allow it to die, then charge overnight while still powered off. 6 Restore your phone from back up through your computer 7. Restore from factory settings If the issue persists after this, and you have all of that to tell the rep, they will send you to the store, or set it up for replacement... Good luck *denotes edit Let me make this clear... Apple Repair or Retail ARE COMPLETELY INCAPABLE of replacing the battery of an iPhone. If you take it to them they wil ask if you backed it up, cause they are going to give you a NEW PHONE for the $79 Apple Care protection plan price of faulty battery. I worked iPhone help desk tier 2... trust me...
