I see mine a little better than I did with my iPhone4. I get a day out of it easy and sometimes 2 days depending on my usage.
After more than 15 years covering everything Apple, it’s with a heavy heart we announce that we will no longer be publishing new content on iMore and the iMore forums will be closing as of November 1st, 2024.
Are you running 6.1?
Conditioning the battery once a month really helps also. By conditioning I mean drain the battery to zero until it turns off then charge it uninterrupted to 100%
I never turn my phone off. I usually unplug it if unable to when the battery indicator changes to the plug sign indicating a full charge. I'm not a fan of charging my phone overnight if I have the option not to need to.
People say leaving it plugged in overnight doesn't affect the battery, but it does because the battery drops down to about 98% and then recharges and keep repeating the process until you unplug the phone.
I know sometimes it's difficult but try not to charge it overnight.
I have no idea how I get the battery life that I do. I charge it fully when it is in the 10-20% area. I use it for music virtually all day at work. I check and write tweets on two accounts from it, during the day. I take and make a few calls. I try to make the calling part a LITTLE as possible. But, besides listening to music the bulk of my use is email and text\iMessage.
Jailbreak your phone, download a utility called battery detective? Take not of the health of the battery. Then charge it over night for a month then check the health and max capacity and you'll see what I'm talking about. I know how batteries work. I don't care what manufacturers say, I know exactly how lithium ion batteries work. They're not designed to be over charged over and over.
Plug in a laptop with its battery attached charging every day all day and talk to me after month and tell me how that battery is doing...
