How bad is the iPhone 5S battery?

I'm having trouble deciding whether or not I want an iPhone 5s. So many people have told me that the battery isn't horrible, but it isn't the best either. Then other people tell me that they had to get another phone because the battery was horrible on their phone.

Is it possible that the iPhone 5, or 5c have a better battery life than the 5s?

How bad is your battery life?

Just to say. IPhone will NEVER become best in batteries. There are hundreds of non-official manufacturers that make extended batteries, and they are huge compared to the OEM ones.

and.going to topic.

iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C are nearly IDENTICAL for dimensions, and have the exact same battery, as seen on the Apple site. So, it has a 1,570 mAh battery. It's small, but it should work fine for it's mini size.

I'd suggest looking at other phones first (Samsung, LG, Sony, etc), and then picking iPhone. For the battery quality however.unless it's a defected battery it should work perfectly fine, for normal usage. Up to 10 hours to be exact. You could however extend the battery with an external battery pack.

I have 5S and I think its great, I haven't had any issues.

  • Why is the iphone 5 battery so bad? I have taken my phone into apple and got a replacement iPhone 5, the battery hasn't improved at all. I have location services off, LTE Data roaming off, brightness is down more less fully and my multi tasking is always clear. I have restored the iPhone as a new phone as i was told this might help but no joy. Anyone help?

  • Why is my Iphone 5 Battery Life so bad lately? My Iphone 5 has recently been getting very bad battery life. The only things that I have changed have been setting my email to push as well as resetting all of the phones settings. Would the email really hurt my battery that much? I took a shower today for 15 minutes and at first my phone was at 94% and when I got out, my phone was only at 98%.It used to charge so fast and I have no idea what is going on. Please let me know.
