The battery life on my iP 5 seems have gone south. It's draining very fast. Went to bed at midnight with 100%. Woke at 6:00 am with 84%. I had DND on. Only 1 email was waiting when I opened the phone. It was bad yesterday. Updating to iOS 8 hurt just a tad. To 8.0.2 just a tad more. But 8.1 has been atrocious. I'm letting it run down to .5%. Then charge it to 100%+ without using it while charging. I don't know what else to do. I've checked all the usual suspects in settings. In 2.5 hours of constant use, I've gone from 84% to 53%.

Mine has been ok so far today. I was off the charger just before 9am and am at 87% 4 hours later with some light use. This is pretty typical for me during the work day since I don'thave time to play on it much. The good thing is that my usage stats are showing up again in settings, so I'm happy about that. I will report back later tonight after a full day of use to see if it's better or worse than yesterday. So far so good, though.

My battery on both 4s I own are terrible too. Off the charger at 100% it is down to 50% with both phones with brand new batteries in twenty minutes

I unplugged at 4am and have 1 hr and 42 minutes of use with 14 hrs standby and still have 85%. This is with iiphone 6 and latest 8.1. That is way better than I ever did on my 5S.

So far my battery life on iOS 8.1 is not as good as 8.0.2 was on my 5s. I'm going to let my battery drain to 10% before my next charge and see what happens.

if Apple can make these batteries last so long why can not the manufactures of laptop computers last longer? MyDell laptops battery lasts just over 3 hours n a full charge.

Battery life much better today. Just under 14 hrs off charger and here are my stats. This is where it was with 8.0.1 and 8.0.2. Oh, and it's an iPhone 6.

Because the screen is bigger and because apps in the back ground keep using resources? IOS shuts down most apps that are running in the background, one of the reasons you don't have to close them manually?
