Why will iPhone 5 not hold a charge?

Works fine.

Cause you screwed up your battery by either overcharging or never full charging, try installing battery doctor app to fix it, or go to apple store and have a new battery installed

It's a known issue. Ignore the person above who said you did something wrong. See here:

Take that thing back to wherever you bought it, have them perform a diagnostic on the phone, and when their results corroborate your claim (they will), have them replace the phone for you. I just went to VZW on Saturday and they overnighted me a new iPhone. Just received it a short while ago.

Hope that helps.

Why is my battery draining so quick?

  • Why won't my iPhone 5s hold a charge? I know it's not my cable or the port that s screwed up, I plug my charger in and it shows the white screen with the apple logo. But that s all it does, it goes from black screen to white screen perpetually, until I take the charger out in which case it won't turn on at all. What could be wrong with my iPhone?
  • Why won't my iPhone 4 hold a charge? I have an older iphone 4 with no sim card, as i now have a 4s. It hasn't been turned on in a few months, but i decided to charge it and use it. It has been plugged in for about 30 minutes now, and it still only shows the charging thunderbolt on a black screen… Is it broken? Any suggestions? Is it just that low on battery?
  • IPhone loses charge overnight.a lot of charge. Why? My iPhone 4S was on 5.1.1 but i did restore the software last week and used a backup to also restore the files. Since then I have been losing about 35-40% of my battery overnight, I'm a very power-conscious person, I only use wi-fi, 3g when i need to and i usually keep everything off except data, notifications are to a minimum and location services are off as well as brightness being as low as possible. What is going on? Any help is appreciated
  • Iphone 7 won't charge unless I hold my phone at a certain angle? No, it's not the charger and yes I have checked for lint. I bent a paper clip and dug around in the port and only a bit came out. Is the paper clip not effective and there actually is lint in there? How could I fix this if it doesn't have to do with lint or the charger? (besides going to the apple store)
