Is the battery life better on the iphone 5s than on the iphone 5?
Is the battery life better on the iphone 5s than on the iphone 5?
I have the iPhone 5s and my wife has the iPhone 5. They both last a few days between charges.
I am not sure that I can tell a difference, as I use mine less than she uses hers, but they both seem to last.

Does the upgraded MBA 11'' from 1.4Ghz to 1.6Ghz affect the battery life?
Im looking into buying 11'' MBA and i still cant deside if i should upgrade the CPU.
Surely i will upgrade the RAM to 4GB.
But Apple Store staff adviced me that if i upgrade CPU to 1.6Ghz it may reduce the battery life from promised 5hrs to around 4.5hrs... Is that true? Personally i think that is maybe not really true, cuz normally any OS have an option to control and set up a limit of the CPU performance and frequency speed in regards to manage the baterry life... it even can be adjusted either manually or automatically.. am i right? And actually if you dont use CPU intensive programs so it won't consume more power, right? And even in such case also you can set the limit of the CPU performance to save the battery...
So does the upgraded CPU affect the battery life or not ?
And another matter - will the upgraded CPU get overheating sometimes and will it be "throttled" to control overheating ? as i heard...Higher GHz = More Power = Lower Battery Life
Personally i think that is maybe not really true, cuz normally any OS have an option to control and set up a limit of the CPU performance and frequency speed in regards to manage the baterry life...
And actually if you dont use CPU intensive programs so it won't consume more power, right? And even in such case also you can set the limit of the CPU performance to save the battery...
If that were true, then why pay the xtra $100 for 1.6 GHz???
So does the upgraded CPU affect the battery life or not ?
Yes -
What the is the battery life of HP's G60-635DX laptop? No specs?
I just saw it on best buy, but there is no battery life listed, no specs on HP.com, no review on zd.net.....
Where are the specs for this model?
I have the G60-535dx, but I am a little disappointed with the battery life. I may want to upgrade, get a Sony, or get a 12 cell battery.The batery life mainly depends on the 6 cell lithium or 9 cell and 12 cell and they mainly depends on the Notebook.Some of the Notebooks are compatible and some or not compatible,. The minimum life of the battery is 1 hour and maximum is 2 hours it is all based on your useage. If you want to increase the battery life I would request you to click on the below web link:

Mountain Lion 10.8.1 update the battery life get only 5:6 hrs after a full charge.
The battery life got only 5:6 hrs after installing the first update 10.8.1. Strangly the remaining time keep on changing up and down. It show remaining 2 hr, then for sometime show 3:00 hr!!! Don't know why. It looked like the battery life calculator mulfunction.
The remaining time reported is not an actual remaining time of use. It said 6 hr but in a normal use is much less than that. Say around 3:30 hr of real and normal use of my Macbook Pro.

I am very disappointed with the battery life I am getting out of my Iphone 5S 64G. I charge it every night, and would be lucky to make 15 to 20 minutes of calls during the day and yet I am lucky to get much more than 12 hours of life out of the battery.
I have to make a conscious decision not to use it to avoid it running out on me. I had it back to the Apple Store last week and they ran diagnostic checks on ot and said that the hardware was within specs.
They replaced the software as it was showing that Springboard had crashed on several occasions. The other problem I was complaining about was that at least 2 or 3 times a day, the phone would refuse to wake up when I hit the home button. It would take sometimes up to a minute of pressing the button before anything would light up. The guy at the Apple store said that this was caused by Springboard crashing and that this would also be what is reducing the battery life.
I did notice that after they replaced the software, the waking up problem appeared fixed for a few days, but the battery life had not improved. Now the waking up problem is starting to return.
It is very annoying and somewhat embarrassing when you are with a client and go to make a call and your shiny flashy new Iphone 5 won't even light up. Especially when you have to borrow your clients Nokia....My best bet would be to restore the phone. Back it up to itunes, and then reset it Factory settings. This way, any corrupt software will be removed, and you can start fresh. Make sure you back it up first. By the sounds of it, you are using the phone for business and probably need the data from it. Hope this helps!

I just bought my first iphone. I am so disappointed in the battery life of the iphone 5. Is this the norm for iphones? Are they working on a fix to this problem? Almost wishing I had bought something else.
Without knowing what battery life you are seeing we can't determine if you have a problem. Have you compared your usage to the Technical Specifications?
Talk time: Up to 8 hours on 3G
Standby time: Up to 225 hours
Internet use: Up to 8 hours on 3G, up to 8 hours on LTE, up to 10 hours on Wi-Fi
Video playback: Up to 10 hours
Audio playback: Up to 40 hours
Under normal use, unless there's a problem with your phone, battery life is comparable to any other smart phone and better than some. If you've never owned a smart phone before you will be disappointed with the battery life on all smart phones. You should expect to charge any of them daily. It's a mistake to think of it as a phone at all; it's a very powerful pocket-sized computer that can also make phone calls. -
How can i extend the battery life of my iphone 4s? when i left 50% it in standby mode when i saw in 5hours it drains to 5% i saw 45%, i thought when i leave the phone the percent is still the same. whant am i goin to do?
I was not aware of the fact one could use ringtones as alarms, this will suffice! Although I foresee some very awkward times as the sound does not stop once I respond to the reminder (it keeps going for good five - ten seconds after I "stop" the reminder), but it's better than missing it altogether!
Thank you very much!
Regarding the Alarmed app, doesn't it have to be running to actually remind you?
-Modular747: I don't know anyone who actually reads the terms of service agreement, those things are usually up to thirty, small print pages full of legal jargon. Rules, I do read - not the legal documents (also they often contradict the laws in my country, but that's a whole different story).
I agree with you - the average customer support consultant mostly cares about keeping his job and earning his salary (don't we all?) and thus racking up completted tasks (i.e. getting rid of customers as fast as possible - in a good mood). The "threat" none the less is real, if a cell phone causes me more trouble than it is worth, I will indeed throw it away (I have done so before) - and recommend a different brand to anyone willing to listen.
Don't get me wrong, I love Apple and I've been faithfully using and recommending their producs for twenty years now, not because of fanboyism, but because they earned it. This calendar issue, however, is like a toaster that doesn't automatically eject the toast at the set time. I see it as a major flaw and after googling around a bit I see that it's been around since at least 2007 (THAT'S SEVEN YEARS!!) so I strongly believe they are aware of this problem by now, but are choosing to ignore it for some mysterious reason and it really ****** me off.
I will send the feedback but based on my observations I suspect the Send button is merely a cleverly disguised Delete button. -
I recieved my iPhone 5 3 weeks ago and the battery life completely *****! After doing a few things and maybe using it for about 30 minutes the phone start overheating like crazy then the battery starts dropping very fast. Does anyone know if it's a problem with the iOS or with my phone? And is anyone else expierenceing these problems?
It sounds like you have an app that is incorrectly continuously using data and power... from normal use the phone should NOT be getting that warm... only constant video playing via data like Netflix for example would result in that...
I'd say that you should remove all apps in the recent app tray... tunr phone off... then once you power back on...
Hold BOTH home and sleep wake buttons together until you see a white apple symbol... then release both buttons...
This will ensure you have no apps running...
I've experienced a hang up with mail while out and about that has resulted in this on my iPhone as well... Once I performed these steps it was fixed... it seemed like it got stuck and that's what caused the warm phone and battery drain...
I notived that when it gets stuck (mail app that is) I will see the text connecting at the bottom and it never changes to "updated" like it should... this is my trigger that it's gotten stuck.
Have not really figured out what causes mail app to get stuck yet... -
i dont know why the battery life of my iphone 4 is so low ! i really want to know how many hours i'll have if it's on standby. And how many hours if i use it normally for music and facebook (sometimes a little bit games) !!!
to enhance your battery life, keep screen display to minimum, set screen lock automatically after 1 min, select internet notifications to off.

I have never been so disappointed with an Apple Product such as the Iphone 4s. When I signed up with a new 2 year contract, I received my iphone 4s. I charged it fully the night before, then it didn't even last the day (with minimal usage). I turned off Location Services, Wi Fi, and Bluetooth, this helped a bit. But what is the point of turning these services off, when I NEED THEM!!! The wonderful new Siri doesn't work properly without Location Services turned on.
So I upgraded to the iOS 5.0.1. version - that did absolutely nothing to assist the battery life.
Apple, what are you going to do about it? My new Apple phone is a LEMON!
If I had of known how bad the battery life is on the iphone 4s, I would have got a Samsung Galaxy 2!!!!!It doesn't really matter whether I am talking to Apple or not (and I'm sure they monitor these comments), I want everyone to know how bad this new iphone 4s is, and all of it's problems.
Apple have already launched an upgrade to the software - it obviously did not help, as many around the world would concur.
As far as being patient and waiting for another "update in the works" is concerned, it is just not satisfactory. This is not a cheap phone, and those who are experiencing these problems, should not have to be paying a substantial amount of money, for a very smart phone, that obviously, has some serious problems. -
Is the battery life back to normal on iOS 6.1.3 with the iPhone 5?
Hello all, was just wondering what with the new update iOS 6.1.3 for the iPhone 5, is the battery life back to normal? I am still on iOS 6.0.1 because after all the bad things about battery life i heard with 6.1 and subsequent upgrades i just decided to stay on 6.0.1. I am really nervous to upgrade to 6.1.3. Is the battery life fixed?
ThanksThanks everyone... I think i will upgrade and see how it goes, i cant stay on one OS forever... I too, on my 4S before i got the 5, had 5.0, then 5.1, 5.1.1, 6.0, and so on til i got the 5, which came with 6.0.1, i just stayed there... I have never had battery issues with any of my iPhones. If i do, i have the warranty so i will go to apple store and they will fix it.

my iPhone is about 6 months old now and I would say I don't use it that much. Yet for the last month or so the battery life has been going down and today after having charged it to 100% this morning, it was at 5% at 4 pm this aft. help!!
Ok Fellas, let me give you a clue: Games, particularly those that make heavy use of graphics and sound are notoriously power hungry. In fact, when I was in the Navy many years ago, the folks working on the NTDS (Navy Tactical Data System) computers used a version of Space Invaders to load test the AN/UYK-43 computers.
I have also noticed that all of my laptops (I have a brand new Toshiba dual core, an older Toshiba single core, plus 2 Dell dual core machines) have significantly shorter battery life when I play Company of Heroes than when I am just reading e-mail or surfing the 'Net. I have also noticed the same behavior when I play games on my 4th gen Touch and my iPhone 4.
The fact is, iOS 5 did make some major improvements as well as adding some nice functionality like iMessage, wireless synch, and such, but the down side is that depending on how you use the device battery life can be shorter that what you may have experienced with pervious versions of iOS. Its just the nature of the beast...

Bought a new iPhone 4s and dissapointed with the battery life (5.0.1)
Hi guys, I'm new to this forums and to an iPhone... I've bought my first iPhone 2 days ago (an iPhone 4s) and I must admit, the battery life simply *****! It's unbeliavable, typing a status and checking facebook drains 2% of my battery, this is just insane. I was glad to find out that I'm not the only one with this problem. I researched online and saw all of Apple customers complaint about it, and realised that Apple didn't really care as much until the media kicked in.
So yesterday I've downloaded the new 5.0.1 update, because Apple promised to fix the battery life issue, however I found no sing of battery improvement what so ever (my Location Services and Time Zone are both set to OFF). I think they've released this update in order to shut us up for a little bit, because Apple knows that it's not a bug BUT a hardware problem!
I hope Apple can come up with an idea to fix this problem a.s.a.p. or they're going to lose a lot of customers. I'm starting to slowly regret from not buying phones like BlackBerry 9900 Bold, Samsung Galaxy S2 or the new HTC. I'm so dissapointed in the battery life...
What do you think guys?Did you already try to set up your phone as new device?
How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
