Iphone doesn't hold the charge?

I have had my iphone 5 now for about a year and a half maybe or less and the charge in the battery barley lasts one day. I usually half my brightness half way up and i do close all my apps after i use them. I do listen to a lot of music on my phone but surely it should be able to hold enough battery for someone to do that.

When the charge reaches in the 20%'s it will shut of like it does when iphones go out of power and then when i try to turn it on it comes up with the 'needs charged' picture thing but then in about 5 minutes i can turn it back on and it would say i have 30% when before it turned of i only had 20. This happens everyday.

It's bothering me because i was at a concert last night and i wanted to film and take pictures but my phone was messing up, also tomorrow i'm going camping over night and i want it to last for about a day or two but with the way it is now i know that won't happen.

Do you know what could be wrong with it? And how can I fix this at home or do you have any tips to save battery power?

Try new charger or charging pc

Replace the iPhone

If your I phone doesn't hold the charge you have a battery with a bad cell that means brand new Iphone for you. While back I bought nokia brick and it did the same thing and it was a battery issue they just swapped it out and all good but with the Iphone you can't just take the battery out otherwise no more warranty.

Go to an Apple store, then get a NEW battery installed. Sounds like your battery is failing, sadly

Your problem is that iPhones apps are failing or the battery was left out in the sun that melts the battery try going to apple store or a cell phone repair place

IPhones tend to have an inbuilt battery that can't be removed by the user without adequate knowledge in technology. They open it by removing the 2 retaining screws and removing the screen to access the battery.

It sounds like you have too many applications running at the same time or your battery is now losing its charging capacity due to frequent charge/discharge cycles.

  • 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 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)
