IPhone short-lasting battery?

I have a new iPhone 5 and Apple said battery should live for about 225 hours on standby. But I have to charge it every night. Is that possible? Sure, I do use it but it's still insane to charge a phone every night. I also noticed that most of iPhone users do. Is there any way to make battery last longer? (I turned off location services, reduced the brightness, closed all of the running apps, turned off e-mail push… )

Don't buy Apple!

Hi
There are many ways you can extend your iPhone battery life
-Only install those apps that you need that most.
-Avoid playing games via gaming apps
-turnoff Wi-Fi connection when not in use
-Open only one app at a time and close all the apps that you are not using
-Only use your cell phone when you need the most for instant calling, texting etc only
-Install app like battery doctor that will guide you and help you maintain your battery life for longer.

  • Why is my iphone battery so short? It's new? I bought an iPhone 5c a few days ago and I noticed that the battery life was short… While using I'd probably get 2-3 hours max on it
  • What would you do if you were $4 short on buying a iphone and? What would you do if you were only $4 short on buying a new iphone 4. And, the sales guy asked "who has a dollar?" and his co-workers put in a dollar. How would you feel? What would you do? Let them chip in & buy the phone or return when you have the full amount of money? Or what?
  • New Iphone short battery life? I just got a brand new iPhone 4S about I week ago… I absolutely love it… But the battery life is ridiculous. It lasts about 2 hours of continuous use and apple says it should last 8. The phone is brand new and has AT&T, if that makes a difference.
