My iphone will not hold a charge

my iphone will not hold a charge. This started approx 1 1/2 months ago. I have downloaded new update as i felt that was the reason for the issue, it was not. What else could be causing it to do this?

If brand new then yes .Back up and remove photos etc as Apple will replace if found faulty
see this  for guidance
What to do when you return or send your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch in for service

  • All of a sudden my new iphone will not hold a charge even when it is not being used and I can't figure out why???

    my battery drains even when iphone is not being used.  It is a relatively new phone and this battery draining just started and I can't figure out why????

    Yes, thank you.  My apologies, I was typing one handed and did not add that. 
    Anyway, I have tried deleting the cache, deleting my pics and then re-syncing, etc. and nothing is working This is very frustrating, as I had no problems up until about 2 weeks ago, and now all of a sudden, I have this issue......UGH!

  • I have had my iPhone about 1 1/2 years...with no problems. About 2 days ago my battery drained within an hour, I plugged it in to charge and it heated up so hot the temperature warning popped up on the screen. The phone will not hold a charge now.

    I have had my iPhone 4 for about 1 1/2 years, with no problems. A couple days ago the battery drained in about an hour, I plugged it in to charge and it was not charging. After a few hours a message popped up on the screen about the temperature being too hot...the phone was very hot when I picked it up. The battery will not hold a charge and it heats up every time I plug it in. Suggestions???

    Make an appointment at the genius bar. An out of warranty replacement is $149.  It sounds like it may have gotten wet.

  • After being dropped in water my Ipod will only work when hooked up to the computer or docking station.  It will not hold a charge.  What do I need to do?

    My son dropped his Ipod in some water, we put in a bag of rice overnight and it works fine when connected to the computer or docking statioon but it will not hold its charge once it is off the cable & not hooked up, so he cannot listen to it unhooked..  Any suggestions on what to do?  Thanks!!

    Take it to an Apple store. Most likely you will have to get a replacement for which you will be charged the replacement fee.
    Rice only absorbs water. But it cannot prevent damage to the device.

  • Why is my iphone 4s not holding its charge for very long

    why is my iphone 4s not holding its charge for very long i hardly it but still have to charge it every day

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore.
    Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • Battery will not hold a charge

    My ipad 3 will not hold a charge on the battery, it has been pluged into the wall, using the provided wall charger, since noon. Now, it is 5pm and the battery is only around 40%. The iPad is still under the 1 year warrenty. Will apple replace the battery if the digitizer screen is broken? (it has a slight crack) Or is my warrenty void?

    You will need to take the iPad to Apple, the screen and battery are two different problems,but they could be related.  Apple will need to make that determination.  It will be very difficult to replace your battery without breaking the digitizer if it has a small crack.

    The battery in the iPod is not user-replaceable. Take your iPod to an Apple Store or contact Apple Support and they can arrange replacement.

  • IPhone4 will not hold a charge - This is my 3rd iPhone having this problem

    Hi all -
    I appreciate any help you can provide as I'm stuck and don't know what else to do.
    Last September just before the iPhone4S was released, I purchased my very first iPhone which was a iPhone4.
    About 3 months after owning my iPhone, the battery drained really fast.
    I took the phone to the Apple store and they ran a thousands tests. Restores, backups, test for water damage, etc. etc.
    They issued me a "new iPhone4".
    about 4 months after that, the same thing happened to my phone (now my 2nd iPhone4).
    LONG STORY SHORT - we did the same tests, several trips to the Apple store.
    They said that because I plugged my phone in to my car radio, the radio pushed out too many amps and that drianed my battery.
    I denied that and said that wasn't possiable, but OK, my bad. I won't use my iPhone with my car radio.
    so they issued me ANOTHER "new" iPhone4 (now my 3rd & current one).
    THIS TIME I MADE URE TO CHARGE MY PHONE CAREFULLY.
    i've had this phone since July.
    as with my first 2 phones, I've only used the original charger that came with my iPhone and have only plugged it in to the same oulet that my wife uses for her 4s (she has no issues). Here I am 3 months later, and AGAIN my iPhone drains fast and can not hold a charge.
    after being at 100% battery life, I unplug it. Check emails, twitter and espn occasionally and within an hour i'm under 20% battery life.
    Can anyone PLEASE help me? Am I doing something wrong?
    I don't want to restore all my apps and things again. I don't ant a "new" phone. I just ant to keep this phone and have it retain a normal battery cycle.
    PleaseHelp - Thank you

    bring it into Apple for battery diagnostics.
