Hi all.
I recently had my iPhone replaced at the Genius Bar because of a speaker issue. The replacement phone has fixed the speaker problem but I fear it has presented me with a new issue. The battery life isn't nearly as good as it was on my original phone.
When I got the new phone, I did an iCloud restore. My preference would be not to set up as new because I don't want to lose all of my text messages.
Is there a way a know if the battery itself is faulty? The Apple Store said the diagnostic ran fine but I just used it to check email after a full charge and have already lost 5% in like 12 minutes
