IPhone 5s is taking 6-8 hours to fully charge

My phone used to charge in about 2 hours and now it takes 6-7 hours. Do I take it to the apple store or my service provider since I have insurance? Or just struggle with it.

I wouldn't think it would be a battery problem on a 5S, but then anything is possible. Is it possible for you to change chargers. The charger could be defective. Are you seeing an increase in data usage? It is possible the phone is stuck trying to process something and would make the battery drain while trying to charge. Does the phone get very hot when charging? Does the phone seem to be working normally except for the charge? If you cannot try another charger, I would make the appointment at Apple in case it is a battery issue. They can diagnose that.

  • Just bought an iPhone 5s, as I turned on the phone it showed 71% of battery, I drained it to 15% and next charged it for 3 and a half hours to fully charged. Did I do any mistake ? Should have I let it to get discharged in order to fully charge it ?

Should have I let it to get discharged in order to fully charge it ? Somebody told me I should have let it discharged and then to fully charge, but I didn't do it, my iphone is working very well, the battery too but I'm worried if the battery lifespan is gonna get worsen soon if I didn't abide by the rules and procedures of battery charging.
    I had problems on my previous iPhone 4s, it died because I didn't replaced the battery with a new one because my battery never worked well and I never knew it , the battery used to overheat my iPhone and it caused to damage my processor completely to death. Who does the replacement of the iphone processor?  I need help how to maintain with the iphone battery. And also let me know if I did something wrong that I should get worried about or not ?!?!

    Apple does not fix the iPhone 4S, they replace the phone. If not covered by warranty, called an out of warranty exchange. Cost is US $199. Make an appointment at any Apple store.
    Be aware, Apple does not sell iPhone parts, thus there is no legitimate source for genuine parts.

    The colour of your iPhone is insignificant. Can you explain what you mean by "my Apple iphone 4 died it been and hour already been charged it all night", which makes no sense at all? If English is not your native language, you are free to post in your own language.

  • My ipad mini takes 5 or more hours to fully charged from 0% is that normal? Im using a 5w adapter

    Im using a 5w adapter

    It's normal, and more using a 5W power adapter (a iPad with Retina display can take 6 hours to charge completely with a 12W power adapter).
    If you want a faster charge, get the 12W power adapter > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD836LL/A/apple-12w-usb-power-adapter

  • IPhone 4s power failing within 3 hours with only 2 calls after charging overnight

    My wifes iPhone power is failing within 3 hours of overnight charge, after only 2 calls and reading about 4 e-mails. My phone however works fine. Both are the same model 4s. Any ideas?

    I have been getting 2 - 4 days use on my 4s after each of the 7.x upgrades.
    I haven't had 7.0.3 for that long, but my phone now shows 14hr 55 min standby with 2 hrs usage and 76 percent battery left.

  • Is it normal for iPhone 5 to take about 4 hours and 15 minutes to completely charge from 0%?

    My iPhone 5 takes just over 4 hours to completely charge from a complete battery drain. I am very curious as to whether or not this is normal or abnormal? My previous device was the Droid Razr Maxx HD which took about 2 hours to completely charge. Am I stressing over nothing?

    From the horse's mouth: http://www.apple.com/batteries/
    "Most lithium-ion polymer batteries use a fast charge to charge your device to 80% battery capacity, then switch to trickle charging. That’s about two hours of charge time to power an iPhone to 80% capacity, then another two hours to fully charge it, if you are not using the iPhone while charging. You can charge all lithium-ion batteries a large but finite number of times, as defined by charge cycle."

  • HT5423 How many hours is the charging time of the iPad 4th gen?

    I am charging my ipad, & noticed that its been 9 hours & still its 90 percent. I just wanna know, how many hours is the charging time of an iPad before it gets 100% full? & is it normal that the charger become hot? Hope someone can answer this question. Thank u. 

    Chargers, and the unit being charged where the battery is located, will get warm during charging...charging does work on the battery.  If it is hot or too hot to handle then you need to decide if it is too uncomfortable and needs to be checked at the Apple store genius bar.
    Nine hours is a long time to charge, but if you discharged all the way it can take 4-8 hours to fully charge.
    If the charger is getting very hot and taking a long time to charge you may want to take it to the genius bar and have it checked by the techs.

  • Mountain Lion taking longer to fully charge battery than Lion?

    In Lion it took me an hour to fully charge the battery and I had roughly 4-8 hrs of battery. Now in Mountain Lion it takes me 4 hrs to fully charge the battery and it only lasts 4 hrs? Any fix for this? I already tried an SMC reset and it didn't work. Please help. Thanks.

    Also, does formatting the ssd of the macbook air and performing a clean install of lion over mountain lion format boot camp partitions too or just the osx partition?

  • IPod Touch fully charge after only 2 hours of charging, is that normal?

    I bought an iPod Touch 4g recently and since I bought it, I noticed that my battery only takes 2 hours to be fully charged (even though the battery is completely drained). I remember the tech specs of the product said that it takes up to 4 hours to fully charge and 2 hours for a 80% fast charge.
    Is there a difference in charge time if I charge my iPod through my computer via USB, and with an iPad charger?
    Is this normal? Or is there something wrong with my iPod's battery?

    Hi Illaass,
    Thanks for the reply, but where do I find the Genius Bar in the Apple Store? Do you mean the one in iTunes?
    I've been using my iPod Touch to read books and a fully charged battery basically lasts me approximately 10 hours of continuous reading. I have yet to test out the battery life as suggested by Apple, whereby I'm supposed to take note of the music layback that I can get on a fully charged battery. I was planning to do it after you first replied but I found it too much of a hassle and therefore, have not gotten myself to do it.

    Hello,
    I needed to do a hard reset on my iPhone 3GS and it's taking me too much time. It's taking almost 3 hours by now!!!!
    I did it by going to "Settings, General, Reset, Erase All Content and Settings", confirm it and then the iPhone turns off, gets the screen black with only the animated circle going on. And it's been there since then.
    Is this a symptom of something bad? Should I do the hard reset by another way?

    Hello Ali Syed,
    It sounds like your phone is stuck at the spinning gear icon on the screen after Erasing all Content and Settings on your device. I would start by resetting the device with this process:
    To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
    From: Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
              http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If the issue persists you may need to put the phone into recovery mode, and then restore it with iTunes as a new device:
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device
