Does my iphone 4s have a defective battery and need to be replaced?

I pre-ordered that iphone 4s and got it on friday, released date. When my phone arrived at my front door, the phone was already dead and wouldn't turn on. I have been using the phone for 5 days and the battery life is horrible, worse than my 3gs that is one and a half years old. I have turned off almost every function, location service off, icloud off, siri off, diagnostic off, email manual, setting time zone off, bluetooth off. I only get 3-4 hours of usage and most of the usage is internet browsing on home wifi. I suspect that I have a defective battery since many people's iphone work right out of box and mine was already dead. So is my battery defective? if so, what phone number should I contact for a replacement phone.

there are other threads regarding battery life and the iphone 4 and 4s. You are not the first person to report this issue.  People seem to think it is an IOS5 issue and not a hardware issue though.

    JajLvr, if it drives you crasy, then get a BT keyboard.

    Agreed.  Even the iPhone has multiple built-in keyboards to choose from.

  • Why does my iPhone 4s have 8gb of other and how can i fix it?

    If you've restored it without success, have you been restoring It from a backup or are you starting fresh (as a new phone)? If the former, try starting fresh. If the latter, head for the Genius Bar at an Apple Store. Try to backup your phone before going to the store.

  • Why does my iphone 3gs shut down when battery gets to 80%?  have installed new battery and nothing changes?

    Why does my iphone 3gs shut down when battery shows 80%.  a couple of months ago is shut down at 60% but has continually gotten worse.  this was before 5.0.  i took it to a repair man and he tried a used battery, a new battery, and the original battery.  nothing helped.  5.01 didnt help either.  What is my problem?

    Fully discharge the battery (till it shuts down and won't turn on) and then fully recharge it (100%).  This will recalibrate the battery meter.  You may need to do this a few times.

  • Why does my iphone 4s run out of battery so quick?

    Why does my iphone 4s run out of battery so quick?

    What do you mean by 'quick'? If you mean a few hours then I think it is normal (it's normal for me: 4+ hours for me depending on what I use it for). If you play apps with really good graphics it will make the battery go quicker. If you don't use it for much, then the battery might have gone out-of-sync with the battery percentage it thinks it has (I am not sure if this happens with apple devices though)

  • Does the iPhone 4S have a shutter on the camera?

    A month or so back my iPhone camera had something half blocking the lens. I was just wondering, is this the camera shutter? Or does the iPhone even have a shutter?

    It has a virtual shutter... but there is nothing physical other than a case or possibly your finger to block the lens.

  • Does the iphone 4s have voice assisted gps navigation system when ion is downloaded to the phone?

      does the iphone 4s have a voice assisted gps system when io6 is downloaded onto the phone?

    The iPhone has NEVER had an International Warranty. The warranty terms state, quite clearly, that Apple "may" restrict warranty & support to the country of original purchase. The only exception, are iPhones purchased in the EU, where the iPhone warranty is EU wide.
    You purchase an iPhone in Singapore, & you will have to return it to Singapore for all warranty & support issues.
    For iPhones out of warranty, Apple has an out of warranty replacement program.

  • Does the iPhone 5 have Flash

    Does the iPhone 5 Have Flash?

    The Puffin browser, available in the app store for a few bucks runs flash via a workaround.  You can get a free trial version which will run flash for 14 days so you can see if it does what you need.  A side benefit of Puffin, is that it displays full web sites, not the mobile web sites.  This is very useful for some purposes such as banking options not available on mobile.  I got it for a trip I was taking, and still use it from time to time when a site doesn't display properly on Safari.

    Does the iPhone 5 have MAP message access profile?

    Not sure; I haven't seen any documentation on it but I assume it would work for the 3GS or higher.  (Doesn't look like this has been updated to include the MAP feature: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3647.)
