Implying any other battery by any other company can't just fail all of a sudden.

I should mention, it now drains very badly, now it will drain constantly even when it's on standby. And it's 4 god damn days out of warranty.

ive been having the same problem with my iPod Touch
you can literally watch the battery live drop

[xSetrox]

get an external battery pack

That's where most consumer products come from, plus you're just adding to the stuffty circlejerk against Apple.



Your battery has run out, basically. You need to either get a new one or find an external charger.

This isn't a really long term solution to my problem. I was considering it but why should I spend $60-$80 on a battery back for a phone that should work fine?
Calling Apple Retail Store at lunch today, if they make me pay more than $30 i'll just fix it myself. http://www.ifixit.com/Store/iPhone/iPhone-5-Replacement-Battery/IF118-001

Smart idea.

The battery is underneath literally every other part of the phone, just saying.

It will be a bitch to replace.

Ah, lithium batteries. We love you, we hate you.

Sometimes lithium-based batteries just give out. In some cases, you can rejuvenate them by going through a couple full charge cycles in a row (charge fully, drain fully, rinse & repeat). Lithium batteries die faster if you don't let them drain a good bit before charging them (i.e. don't leave it constantly plugged in); similarly, they tend to die if you leave them without charge for a while. It's almost as if they get "comfortable" with whatever state they're in the most, and die if removed from that state.

Kind of a random question but do you know if those mophie cases work with iphone 5c
I cannot find out to save my life

Pretty sad Usage Statistics right there. And Apple wont pay for a new battery because it's 2 days out of warranty. They want $60 for replacement, forget that. I'll just do it myself.

And i'm not the only one to have this problem right as the warranty goes away. I swear Apple makes it so these things break soon as warranty doesn't cover it.

Since the 5C, 5S, and 5 are practically the same, most likely.

Close all processes open that arent needed. Just double click on home button and slide up the processes you arent using.
If nobodys posted this yet, lower brightness. I always run it on minimum for me.
I'm at 9% on my ipad, lol. I havent charged it in days

Already sent in diagnostics to Apple. And I know all those tricks. Apparently I got a faulty battery... out of no where...days after the warranty expires...

I dunno, still haven't had many problems with any of my Apple products (only one I have had was years after the normal warranty ran out, and luckily a few days before the Apple Care warranty ran out).
