New iphone 5 empty battery

Hi,
I bought my new Iphone 5 from the store and when I got home and opened the box I couldn't turn on the device. I plugged it in the electric and it seemed the battery is totally empty. I fully charged it and the Iphone worked well. However, I feel like the battery is not good, is there any relation?
Is it normal to get new iphone with empty battery??
I have upgraded this weekend to ios7 and things even worst
Please help!

Battery life seems short
Click ( www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html) for tips on how to prolong iPhone's battery life.
Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
Connect iPhone to iTunes and restore iPhone.
If the screen shows a low-battery image, the battery is low on power and needs to charge for up to ten minutes before you can use it.
When charging iPhone, make sure to leave it charging until it is fully charged. You'll know the battery is fully charged when the battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen looks like this .
Note: When charging using a computer, don't connect iPhone to a keyboard. Also, the computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode. If iPhone is connected to a computer that's not turned on or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPhone battery may drain.
Best of luck,
Mario

My new Iphone's battery does not hold charge for long; do you have the same problem?

Greetings, I had a new iphone 4S - bought March 2013, died suddenly September 2013. Iphone replaced by a new one, which seemed to work fine. Suddenly, noticed three days ago that the battery does not hold, even for one day, even with very little use. Charged battery yesterday morning, as it was dead, used phone a few times during the day, still had half batery full at bed time; this morning there was no battery at all - had discharged completely overnight doing nothing. Has anyone had this problem?
It means that I will have to travel a long way to the nearest store to have it looked at. Had already done this last September to replace a dead phone. One would have expected better quality and reliability from a Company like Apple.

Sounds like the battery needs replacing. Bring the phone to Apple for battery diagnostics.

There was a bug in iOS 6 that introduced a bug with Exchange calendars that was plugged with 6.0.1. 6.1 introduced a new problem with calendar invitations, i.e. if you refused a calendar invitation for something like lunch every third Thursday, or the invitee withdrew it, then it throws it into a calendar loop where the server and your iPhone are contantly talking to each other. This will rapidly drain your battery, heat up your iPhone and, if you have enough iPhone users affected, impact the Exchange server. Try disconnecting from the Exchange calendar, or delete your Exchange account and reenter it without activating the calendar, and see what happens to your battery.
Apple is aware of this issue and working on an update.

New iphone 5c battery stuck at 50%

I let my new iPhone charge all night and re-started it several times but the battery is still stuck at 50%

Perform a "hard reset" on the device by pressing down and holding the home button and the sleep/wake button for up to 30secs. until you see a black screen with the Apple logo, then release.
Then test to see if it solved the problem.
If the doesn't work:

My new iphone 5S battery drains very quickly

I just purchased an iphone 5S in January 2014, but the airdrop was not working and the phone was not recognizable to anyone else. Other than that it was great. I took it to the Apple store and they determined that it was some sort of bug and unfixable so they gave me a "new" iphone 5S. airdrop worked immediately and I was on my way. This "new" phone seems to start draining the battery as soon as I take it off the charger. I use it for 5 minutes , check email, write a quick email, and 5% is gone immediately. It drains much faster than my first phone. Is there anything I can do or reset to fix this issue. Rarely does my phone's battery last the entire day and I am not a heavy iphone user.

Brand new iPhone 4 battery drain

I know there are many posts regarding this subject but my issue is very strange. I had a 3GS for 2 years and it had IOS 5.01 but beginning last Friday the battery began to drain. I went to an Apple store and the tech told me that the problem was that the usage time and the standby time was exactly the same. So he tells me to do a restore and set it up as a new phone. I tried everything...restore from backup, restore as a new iPhone...no change. So I am thinking that the battery is toast. Time to upgrade. I go to ATT to get my new iPhone 4 on Wednesday and get home to set it up on iTunes. Now my brand new iPhone 4 is doing exactly the same thing as my former 3GS. I opened a case with Apple today and was told to do a backup then a restore from the backup. I did not sync any of my apps or music. Left work at 5pm with a 100% charge, did not use the phone at all for 2+ hours, checked the charge at it was at 74%. I checked the usage and just as I suspected the usage time and standby time were exactly the same, as if I had been using the phone for 2+ hours. Apple says they will send me another phone but I really don't think the problem is the phone. The only common denominator is iTunes. Any thoughts?

Dlwynn, this is a crazy issue. I can only immagin how frustrating this issue could be for you!
One thing I have found when dealing with any possible hardware or software issue, that I need to get isolated is to scrap the whole back up/restore from back up, and restore the device as new, and see where you are at without all of your stuff on it.
When doing this procedure its important that if you DO have important stuff on the phone you do not want to lose that you back it up in another way...Contacts into windows contacts or use iCloud. You would stand to lose application settings, text messages and call history ..because these are things that are only stored in the back up.
You can save your pictures to your computer using Auto play.
Another way to go about it would be to navigate to your hidden back up folder, copy it to your desktop..restore as new...and if that does not resolve your issue, you put your back up thats on your desktop back into the hidden back up folder, and restore from your back up.
Anyways with all of this being said..If your batter drain issue persists with restoring your device as new in itunes...that would prove a hardware failure.
If the issue goes away after you restore as new. that means that something within your back up was the source of the issue.
The other common thread here is that you keep restoring from your back up.
Anyways I hope this helps you

Brand new iPhone 6 battery life dropping very fast and charging even faster

my brand new iPhone 6 that I have just recently started using the day before has a surprisingly bad battery life. whrn first turning on the phone to use the battery life only last 1-2 hours with average use. when the battery died this morning I pluhe'd the phone into charge and the battery is charging very fast already at 25% and only being charging for about 15-20 mins. I would like to know if anyone else has experienced this problem and if it is normal or if I have just recieved a faulty iPhone 6?

Can you check:
1. What apps show on settings - general - usage - battery usage?
2. How many apps have permission to use cellular data?

is this normal or am i better getting swapped over as within 7 days?

An expired warranty does not mean the phone has no support. I'll try rewording my post:
Apple will replace the battery in the phone, for a fee. No warranty required. They do not sell batteries. If you buy a battery anywhere else there is no guarantee as to its quality, and if you fit a battery yourself you forfeit all future support from Apple, the most important being the out of warranty replacement service which would save you hundreds of pounds/dollars if your iPhone fails at any time. Out of warranty means no warranty required.

New iPhone 5 is overheating, I can hear a loose screw & the battery life is terrible?

I recently upgraded my 1 year old iPhone 4s for an iPhone 5. Using it in exactly the same way as the iPhone 4s, it ran out of battery considerably faster and it got really really hot whilst I was using it. This has never happened with my iPhone 4s, and the fact that a brand new iPhone's battery is worse than a 1 year old phone isn't very good. Also the heating up is a bit concerning. Moreover, when I shake the iPhone, I can hear a screw or something else rattling on the inside of my phone.
Has anyone else had these problems & if I brought it to apple would I be able to get them to do anything about it?

Bring your phone in to Apple for evaluation

Impossible to calibrate iPhone 5s battery!

I don't seem to be able to calibrate my new iPhone 5s battery correctly and it bothers my OCD unbearably x)
Almost as soon as I remove the charger cable, the battery percentage drops to 99%. If i reset the iPhone, it's back up to 100%.
So far I've tried running a full cycle (i.e. Drain the battery until auto shutt-off, recharge uninterupted untill 100%, and resetting the iPhone).
Didn't work.
I tried switching out my poweradaptor for a new one too. Didn't help me either.
I also tried restoring the iPhone as new (not from former backup). Didn't help me either.
I'm am currently trying out an app called 'Battery Saver' during charging, which doesn't seem to make a difference.
Any suggestions?

The actual percentage readout and the battery meter itself are approximations at best. They are not precision features. Battery saver will do nothing for you - it is little more than colorful game.
The meter is not only an approximation, but it is in continual flux as well, as it constantly adjusts for the power draw of the device, which in turn is constantly fluctuating.
If you insist on trying to use those features as precision readouts, you will do nothing but drive yourself into a padded room eventually.

IPhone 5 battery *****, is there help?

My new iPhone 5 battery barely lasts for 8 hours if I DON'T use it AT ALL. AND I DON'T use it, because it's so slow and cumbersome. When I ask Siri to make a call, she takes a full minute to think and waist the battery, then comes back to ask me if I want to search on Google. NO, I just want to make a call on an object called an iPHONE.
My old phone had 30 hours minimum of battery life and it was EASY to make calls. I hope there is some lemon law for this because this is $300 worth of junk and a higher monthly Verizon bill. A considerable rip off if you have no solution.
I have been a loyal Mac, Apple, iPod user since 1989, I even have Apple stock but boy this is a game changer.

So what exactly is your question?
My iPhone 5 goes for two full days and still has battery left.

Is there a way to have longer battery life on a 4s iPhone? Brand new iPhone 4s out of the box I have to charge twice a day.
