Why does my iphone 5 die so quickly?

I just got my iphone 5 yesterday and after i fully charged it, it dies within 3 hours. The battery seems to decrease so quickly. Why is this happening?

Ask apple for some help on this

Probably because of all the gadgets and what not.
Go to settings, and turn down the brightness on your phone. Brightness wastes TON of batteries

Make sure that you have LTE turned off in non LTE zones.
Make sure your brightness is not too high.
Close all of your open apps when you are finished with them.

There are many more things to do but I can't think of them.

Omg my ipod touch 5 does the same thing. Maybe to increase your battery life is to decrease the brightness. Also you can get a app called battery doctor that can tell you how to save it

When you get a new phone, you must cycle the battery several times (cycle as in charge it up all the way, then discharge it entirely, then charge it back up all the way, unplug it when it reaches full, do not leave it charging afterward) before it will reach capacity. You will notice over the next few weeks the battery life will improve.

  • Why does my iPhone battery die so quickly? I had my iPhone for about a year and a half, and recently I've noticed that the battery is draining incredibly fast. I've always had it on 3g internet/Wi-Fi and the battery never died this fast so I don't know what the exact problem is. I charged it to 100% yesterday and I only used it for maybe about 10 minutes and left it untouched for the rest of the night. Today when I woke up the phone was dead. I haven't changed the settings or anything fyi.
  • Why does my iPhone battery die so fast? I have boost magic, which is supposed to help my battery last longer, and I kill all my apps when I'm done using them. I go from 100 at 8am and I'm at 60 by 9:30am. And I hardly use it too, just to look up information quickly and I just set my phone aside. I let it go down to 20% battery and let it charge over night. It just started doing this recently. I also keep my brightness to pretty much 0 with the auto brightness on. And it still dies fast. What can I do?
  • Why does my iPhone 6 die so quickly now? I dropped my phone and broke it and had to switch to my old iPhone 5c, which had a horrible battery life. I finally got my iPhone 6 fixed, but now my battery dies so much quicker then before. I'm on battery saving mode, I have bluetooth off and my screen brightness is usually down almost all the way. I do listen to music while i'm in school but that has never been a big problem before and all my apps are closed. What's the problem?
  • Why does my iPhone 5s die so quickly? It does within 5 hours. Barely on it I just click the power button to check the time and it constantly decreases. I've watched it go down like a clock. What tf is happening to my phone.
