IPhone 6 thickness vs. battery size

Not that anyone asked me, but my preference would have been to make the iPhone 1 mm thicker, move stuff around, and put in a larger battery. My iPhone 5 is thin enough, and I believe there would be a bunch of people  more impressed by a huge battery reserve rather than how thin their phone is.

My battery life on my iPhone 6 is SO so much longer than on my iPhone 5.  As to the iPad Air 2 - well, I had a big clunky 3rd gen iPad and my new one is not only smaller, lighter and thinner, the battery life is significantly longer as well.
No complaints here!  Granted, I don't spend my day streaming movies on either device, but then that really wasn't what they were made for as constant use, were they...

  • Ios 7.1 = no Wifi on iPhone 4s   very low battery runtime... HELP!!!

    ios 7.1 = no Wifi on iPhone 4s + very low battery runtime... HELP!!!

    Welcome, sorry to hear your news, there are numerous threads on this issue. Try the trouble shooting on the other threads, I do not recommend sticking it in the freezer or heating with a hair dryer though,
    If it's within warranty and trouble shooting doesn't work, get it. Ack to apple ASAP and get it replaced.
    Many others are in the same position, who also have a 4s
    Good luck

  • My iphone is currently using battery life much more quickly than inthe past, and it also has an icon tht is starying on the screen, to the left of the battery charge percentage, that looks like a lock with a circle around it

    i have an iphone that is using battery life much more quickly than in the past, a full charge is going to zero in a half a day or so, with out much use.
    an icon is also appearing next to the charge percentage in the top right, and the icon is a circle around a lock
    can anyone tell me what the problem is, and what the icon means?

    The Icon meas your display orientation is locked to vertical so it wont change when you turn the phone sideways.
    First thing you should check with the battery life is multitasking, which also happens to be where the orientation lock can be turned off.  check out   http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4211 and go from there

  • I have just updated my 4s to IOS7. and now my battery discharge is significantly increase. With my Iphone fully charged, the battery run out within 6 hours without using the phone at all. Would it be possible to get the IOS 6.1.3 back to my 4S?

    Hi, thanks for the suggestion. I have tried as you suggested, and when opening the "purchased" apps some have the icloud logo next to them, but I only have "OPEN" against "Find My iPhone". When opening it up, it goes through the same routine; needs to be updated before proceeding, and wouldn't update because I don't have IOS8.
    Anything else I could try, or am I doomed!
    All of your help is much appreciated, thanks

    I've the iphone 4s, and My battery show me 40% than the phone shut down,some of my friends the same, from when i'll update the system os.
    We've think that Apple do it for making the change of the phone!!  :O
    what will we have to do for making the downgrade of OS of the phone?
    tks Andrea

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
    Apple has never supported downgrading of the iOS.

  • HT4623 I already have ios 7.0 installed in my iphone 4S. Although the size of ios 7.0.2  shows only a few MB, but when i click update using from my itunes it shows it is downloading 1.19GB. Why is this ? Do i have to download 1.19 GB?

    If you update using iTunes, the full iOS is downloaded. If you update directly on your phone, this is called a "Delta" update, & only the changes to the iOS are downloaded. That's why you see the difference you see.

  • Will the iphone ever get bigger in size

    I ve had the iphone 3gs, and now the 4s.  I love the phone and how smooth and reliable it is, but my hands are getting way to small for this phone. my thumbs are cramping up. I guess you can compare to being SHAQ using an iphone. thats how small it is..Im sorry to say Apple but I love the imacs, macbook pros, etc but My contract is up with Sprint in July next year and If the iphone doesn get bigger in size as in "Samsung Galaxy S ll or lll" then Im switching over regardless of how many people say the iphone is reliable etc..My hands are too small...APPLE PLEEEAAASE make the uphone as big as the Samsung Galaxy S ll or lll...I mean you guys were the leaders when it first came out and now you are falling behind...PLEASE MAKE IT BIGGER

    We are all just users of Apple products just like you.  Nobody here can possibly know what Apple plans for future products.
    And if it gets much bigger than the current iPhone 5, I would be one user who would not be pleased.  I looked at those Samsungs and some larger phones when upgrading to my iPhone 5.  Those things are ridiculously large for what is still, as its primary base function, a cellular phone.  I do not want to have to carry around some humungous tablet sized device with me as my phone (and my iPhone is my only telephone, has been since the 3Gs).
    But, that is why choice is good too - find the device that best fits your needs or wants and go with that.  It would be horrible if all smart phones were done as one size fits all - everybody would be unhappy then.

  • I bought a new Iphone 5 Friday the battery goes flat in less than half a day also the wifi disconnects in less than 40 secs

    I bought a new Iphone 5 Friday the battery goes flat in less than half a day also the wifi disconnects in less than 40 secs this is really frustrating I think I have a dud phone or is this the new IOS6.1 software update?

    Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as NEW device.  If you've been through ALL the steps listed and you're still having problems, then you'll need to bring your phone into Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.

  • I have a iphone 4s on ios6 battery run down fast help plz

    I have a iphone 4s on ios6 battery run down fast help plz

    Apple is infamous for being restrictive and controlling.
    The iPhone also doesn't connect to faster 4G networks, except the 4S version from AT&T, but whether you'll see noticeably faster speeds will likely be hit or miss. If you own a apple product? I feel for you, it like owning that old beat up rusty car you have to park way out back in the parking lot, and you pray no one see's you getting out of it.
    Android phones are like PCs - they are extremely customizable - by carriers, handset makers and owners. Virtual keyboards, phone dialers, wallpaper, home screen widgets and much more can be done.
    All told, Android is likely to be the Windows PC equivalent in the smart phone market, and the operating system is well-positioned to soon  become the leading smart phone platform in the United States.
    In closing, if you like being led around by the hand, go and get yourself one of those iPhones, and then stop crying about what you can not do with it.

  • Iphone shuts down charged battery

    iPhone 4S latest version of iOS shuts down for no reason, when battery is still over 40% charged. After a while it is possible to restart.
    Sometimes during use of camera.
    Any ideas?

    Hi kurtk801,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  This article has some troubleshooting steps if your iPhone is unexpectedly powering off:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen. Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Cheers,
    - Ari

  • So my iPhone 4S started draining battery after recent update, battery got changed and it worked perfect for 3 days, all of a sudden the phone won't stay on unless connected to mains... Cannot receive any signal "searching" constantly. HELP

    So my iPhone 4S started draining battery after recent update, battery got changed and it worked perfect for 3 days, all of a sudden the phone  shut down and now won't stay on unless connected to mains... Claims its at 100% battery but thats impossible as it was at 30% before it shut down randomly.
    Cannot receive any signal "searching" constantly.
    Turns off as soon as removed from usb ... wont stay on connected to laptop!
    HELP!

    The iPhone includes a one year warranty. If an Apple store is not nearby, you can call AppleCare and handle an exchange under warranty over the phone. The exchange will be shipped to your door - someone must sign for the delivery so if no one will be at home, have it delivered where you work. You use the same box to return the existing iPhone back to Apple. Return shipping label and tape to reveal the box incuded - call the carrier with number incuded when the box is ready to be picked up. AppleCare will request a credit card in the event the existing iPhone is not returned within 10 days after the exchange under warranty is received.
    Hardware can fail - it happens, which is why there is a one year warranty.

  • My iPhone 4 registered 60% battery and two minutes later completely shut down

    My iPhone 4 registered 60% battery and two minutes later completely shut down, next day it said it had zero battery and turns back on after plugging in for a few minutes... what's going on?  I was using the maps application in the minutes before it shut down on me.

    Maybe it's just the battery percentage display that is messed up?  Have you done the recommended monthly or so drain the iPhone down to the point it shuts down and then charge to 100%, to recalibrate the readout?
