My iPhone 5c battery won't hold a charge

[iMore Question]

My iPhone 5c's battery dies fast,so it doesn't give me much of a chance to do anything.Is it possible to replace its battery?

How long have you had the phone? If you had it for a while, chances are you need a new battery. It's possible to replace the battery yourself (cheapest way, but can be hard to do) but I would recommend going to a shop and have them do it (possibly a little most costly).

See here for instructions on how to replace it yourself.

Yeah, this can happen especially if the iPhone is over 1.5-2 years old. I'd say its not worth replacing the battery, either get a new phone (ouch) or purchase a large battery case that can essentially "take over" for your battery. Maybe something like this:

Goodluck

Best to take it to an Apple Store and let them replace the battery. Or to a reputable repair shop. My old iPhone 5 is in the same shape.
