Is this a normal battery life for the iphone 4s

i took my phone off the charger at 100% around 4:30pm. i messed around with it some.. id say around 7 or 8 o clock i was at 88% then. me and my friend facetimed for about an hour, after that i was about 9 o clock and i was down to 65 percent. at about ten o clock it was at 58. from ten o clock to about 1:20am i was texting my friend non-stop. by the time i fell asleep my phone was at around 15%. when i woke up this morning it was at 12%.
i have the brightness down pretty low, i have all notifications turned off and all that. im basically just using as regular phone. is this normal for an iphone? ive never had a smartphone before.

If you are on iOS 5 Or 5.0.1 there is a common problem in the battery life wait for 5.0.2 or whatever its gonna be called that will fix this issue/bug before upgrading to 5.0.1 it says fixes bugs affecting battery life but it doesn't actually make a difference

How long is normal battery life for late 2011 macbook air?

How long is normal battery life for late 2011 macbook air?

I would also note that the 11" and 13" have different lives. While the 11" has a smaller screen to drive (and thus, in theory, less power) it also has less space for a battery. So it turns out the 13" has a longer battery life, all other things being equal (same usage and the like).
Clearly what's "average" will vary by user. Depending on what I'm doing, I can get Apple's rated life (or darned close) or I could end up well short of that life. The "rated" life is 5 hours for the 11" and 7 hours for the 13" but that is, at best, a very rough approximation. As the picture in captfred's response makes clear, the actual usage of the machine has a huge influence.

Just wanna ask if you guys have a battery case for the iphone 5? Thanks! :)

Huh?
It seems as if you though that you were addressing Apple here.
I was letting you know that you are not addressing Apple here at all.
Respect my post.

Battery life in the iPhone 5

I have a used iPhone 5 that I received from a family friend, and I noticed right away that the battery life was almost non-existent. Throughout my time with the phone I’ve realized that I virtually cannot use the phone while on 4G. If I try to use snap chat or any app while on data the phone will die no matter how charged it is, and it will take up to fifteen minutes to turn back on once on the charger. Is there anything I can do besides pay full price for a new phone?

Lithoum Ion & Lithium Polymer batteries has a normal life of 500-1000 charge cycles. If the phone is "over heated" during charging or use, it will reduce that life span even more. The way the batteries tend to work is that they show the max voltage available until the battery is nearly depleated and then it will suddently drop to 0% remaining. This is why you see phones showing 20% (or 40% or 80%) one second then shut off the next.
As was already mentioned, Apple had a recall on some iPhone 5 batteries, so you might be covered under that (unless it has expired). I believe that some Apple stores offer battery replacements for around $79 depending upon the phone and parts avaialbility. You may find someone else to do it cheaper, but if they break your phone, will they replace it for you? That is your call though.
One other option to consider is to get something like a Mophie Juice Pack Air. It is an external battery built into a case. When you use that, your iPHone thinks it's connected to external power while the Mophie is turned on and has power. That might be enough to carry you through until you're ready to replace your phone too. When my iPhone 5 was my primary device, I used a Mophie, and it would run empty in the evening, and I would still have about 60% battery on my iPhone itself when I would plug it in overnight. BTW, I still have great battery life form my iPhone 5 using it without cellular service and it's about 3 years old now.

Normal battery life for two-year-old iPad?

My first iPad is nearly out of warranty. According to the Apple store 'Genius' app (the little hand held device they seem to look at a great deal), my battery is "normal".
They couldn't define in real-world terms what "normal" was. Does anyone know - is it five hours - eight hours (which would be close to the 80% rule listed here: http://www.apple.com/batteries/ipad.html)
Since I don't have the devices they use to measure "normal", what would you folks suggest as an argument starting-off point?
Here's what I did: pulled up CineXPlayer and looped a 60 minute TV show. I left wi-fi ON, set brightness to auto, and turned the volume down to almost zero, since I wanted to sleep.
With this test, I will get nine hours before the iPad shuts down.
Would I get less if the volume was at say 75%?
Would I get more if the Wi-Fi was turned off?
How many hours at what concoction should be used as a standard for "normal"?
As much as I don't mind paying $99 sometime in the future for a fresh unit, if the battery is out of warrantied specs now, while my warranty is still active...well, that's the kind of Apple-care I would hope for.
PS - I HAVE updated to 5.1.1 and the latest firmware, restored the iPad to factory, then restored from my backup.
Cheers

During the warrranty coverage period, Apple will replace the battery if it drops below 50% of its original capacity. If it is out of warranty, Apple offers a battery replacement for $99, plus $6.95 shipping, subject to local tax.
The specs for the iPad 2 state that you can expect
Up to 10 hours of surfing the web on Wi-Fi, watching video, or listening to music
Up to 9 hours of surfing the web using cellular data network
The fine print on http://www.apple.com/ipad/ipad-2/specs.html says:
Testing conducted by Apple in February 2012 using preproduction iPad units and software. Testing consisted of full battery discharge while performing each of the following tasks: video playback, audio playback, and Internet browsing using Wi-Fi or cellular data network. Video content was a repeated 2-hour 23-minute movie purchased from the iTunes Store. Audio content was a playlist of 358 unique songs, consisting of a combination of songs imported from CDs using iTunes (128-Kbps AAC encoding) and songs purchased from the iTunes Store (256-Kbps AAC encoding). Internet over Wi-Fi and cellular data network tests were conducted using dedicated web and mail servers, browsing snapshot versions of 20 popular web pages, and receiving mail once an hour. All settings were default except: Wi-Fi was associated with a network (except for Internet browsing over cellular data network); the Wi-Fi feature Ask to Join Networks and Auto-Brightness were turned off. Battery life depends on device settings, usage, and many other factors. Battery tests are conducted using specific iPad units; actual results may vary.

Is this good battery life for an iPhone 4?

I have two iPhone 4's. (That's iPhone 4, not 4s! )   I was wondering how well their battery life was holding up.
Over several days of use, I found the following. (These are different usage patterns, after a full charge of the battery.)
iPhone 4 #1
     After 8 hours, the battery was at 34%.
     Another time, after 5 1/2 hours, 56%.
     Yet another, after 10 1/2 hours, 14%.
IPhone 4 #2
    After 7 hours, the battery was at 45%.
    Another time after a full charge, usage was 5 hours and battery 55%.
I used both phones similarly in the 5 usage periods.
Would this be the best way to determine which iPhone's battery is in better shape? (They seem similar.)
Or, is there an app that would provide the equivalent of what the Mac's System Profiler does--telling mAH remaining on the battery and a verbal adjective describing the battery's condition?

I just charged my phone to a full 100%.
Now it is at 96%.
With usage: 13minutes.
And standby: 33 minutes.
The battery drains about 1% for every 4 minutes of use, so that seems normal. But it's too small a sample to be meaningful. You need to go through several discharge cycles and record the results to determine if you are within spec. Alternatively, stop being obsessive about battery life and just enjoy the phone.

HT201401 Can anyone confirm that 12 hours of low to moderate use is acceptable battery life for an Iphone 5. That is all I am getting. I am using the phone less than I have used any Iphone I have ever had. The battery life between charges is less than hal

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!

Is this really normal battery drain for a new iPhone? Unconvinced...

I have a brand new iPhone. And I like it very much. But two days in, I am already finding myself charging it twice a day. I realise I'm probably using it a fair bit because it's new and exciting, but I can't help but wonder if it's draining faster than it should be even in standby. I charged it before going to a party tonight and now I'm back, results are below.
<img src="http://emob23.photobucket.com/albums/b391/satineladiamant/photo.png">
Push was off, emails fetched hourly. Active usage was mostly Facebook and browsing after getting home. Coming fresh from standby before that browsing, it was about 85% full.
Is this drain normal for usage like this? I am sceptical (and not sure how else to check if I'm right...)

It may be your exchange account or even your mail account. As they continue to connect to the server and checking for new e-mails. Here is what you can do. Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calanders. From there tap on your mail account, delete it, and do a hard reset by holding the power button (top) and the home button for 10-15 seconds until apple logo appears (ignore the red slider). Once your phone powers back up, recreate your mail account.
but I would say that should be about right. It all depends on what you do. Personally, about 1 hour 30 minute usage will get me about average of 75%, depending on what I do. Currently, my usage time is 3 hr. 11 min. at 46% Standby at 8 hour 17 min. 7 hour is a good average of usage before the phone dies.

Has anyone noticed a big drop in battery life from the iPhone 4 to the iPhone 4s?

In the 36 hours that I've had the iPhone 4s, the battery life is much worse than the iPhone 4. I'd like to hear if anyone else has experienced this as well.

iOS5 has removed the option to turn off just the 3G and have only 2G/Edge and WiFi. I used to do that routinely because I got much more reliable cell coverage in hilly San Francisco and it extended battery life between charges significantly. I only turned on 3G if I wanted to use the web while I was away from wifi or while on a call. The fact they removed this choice seems to have caught both Apple and AT&T staff by total surprise.
This is a problem in the UK as well as in the US and it isn't not carrier specific. It seems to be part of the iOS 5. I most certainly had it with my iPhone 4 and with iOS 4xx.
While the phone will revert to 2G if it thinks it needs to, that isn't good enough. I can't go a whole day (even half a day!) even on mostly standby. I've taken to turning off WiFi when I'm away from it because I can't turn off the 3G. I realize Siri won't work on 2G and maybe that is what has driven it-Apple's special, incredible new feature but if my phone has a dead battery it won't matter anyway.
Spread the news. Complain. We need to get this option back!

Critical Battery-Life for the Magic Mouse

Hello, i use the magic mouse approx. one week and the the batterystatus is 80 %. Is this normal ?

My wife has been using hers for 3 weeks and it shows 52% left in the batteries that came with it. They are Energizers. She uses her computer a lot. Probably 6 solid hours a day.

WHAT? 24 HR BATTERY LIFE FOR THE TOUCH, YEA RI

i've had it plugged into teh cpu for about 5 hrs (more liek 3.5 but we'll say 5) and its already down to one tick of battery left. And i fully charged it (left it charging all last night).
another thing, it came with teh adapter thing for recharging. is that teh only way? is it not rechargeable through USB?

yea right...
My wife has gotton *more* than 24 hours of playtime out of her touch! The audacity of creative not coming clean with users!
two things:
Charging the ZT's battery via usb is like filling a lake with a drinking glass
--and--
if your touch is new, bleed it dry a couple times(to the point where it wont tun on) and then charge it fully using the ac adapter.
One thing about usb charging is it's not as good as it should be. For example, my micro was never fully charged until the other day. Turns out the micro will stop "pulsing" once its charged. I have had my micro connected for 4 solid hours to a usb port, but no dice. The other day I cabled it to a powered USB hub and let it go, now my micro's got stamina!. If you *insist* on charging your touch via USB, at least charge it off a usb hub not connected to your pc.

I just bought my first iphone. I am so disappointed in the battery life on the iphone5. Have the phones always been this way? Is there anything in the works to improve the battery life?

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.

Battery life. The elephant in the room or is it just me?

So the trade-off against integrating the antenna into the case (at such cost) was to make room for a bigger battery, so we could enjoy longer battery life between charges on our shiny new iPhone 4s. Really? My 3G was nearly two years old when I traded up to the iP4, yet its battery discharged at a far slower rate than the 4's battery from out of the box. Is mine just fitted with a battery that came off the production line on Friday afternoon, or am I expecting too much from the new model given its enhanced capability (as compared to the 3G and bearing in mind I skipped the 3GS), which must be expected to consume more power? Whatever, I am disappointed by the battery life of the iPhone 4, yet surprised to read no mention of any battery issues in these posts, especially as battery life was supposed to be one of its selling points. The reviews also seem to confirm an improvement in battery life that just doesn't square with my own experience. Anybody got a view?

I'm surprised my battery is doing well although I have replaced my iphone for the 2nd time. But here is the result from the first replacement:
[IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y256/kwopau/photo-7.png[/IMG]
comparing to what others have posted, similar stats but seems like mine only goes for 5 hours at tops or a bit over. So i took it to the genius bar, and this is why they replaced my iphone for the 2nd time.
Here is what I do with my iphone 4,
Basically I unplug it at exactly at 7 am, through out the day, I only check my phone every hour. Do some textings, check 2-3 apps every hour. of course i get phone calls in the morning and at night so during the day it's not a problem. From the time my phone is in sleep mode, and the time I wake it up, sometimes it stays, but sometimes I lose 1%, but then the moment I text or check few apps, I lose 2% more, which is fine i guess as the apps does eats small amount.
As seen on my stats, I can only get 5 hours of usage somehow. Even though the standby stats says 1 day 14 hours.
As for my 2nd replacement, even if it has similar stats (still on first charge so I have to drain it to calibrate the accuracty). I'll probably just keep this one, as long as the phone last the entire day is fine with me.
