My iPhone 5 battery runs out very quickly now?

I have had my iPhone 5 for about 2 years and I have updated it to the latest ios update. For the last couple of months it drains very quickly, from 100% to about 33% in a span of a few hours without even using it. It usually shuts down at 30% and I can hardly use it now. Should I get a new battery or is there a way to fix this?

Throw it away and get a HTC One M8. That last way more than Galaxy and the iPhone combine.

Two years is a good run for an iPhone.

Battery depletion is one of the main reasons I went to a Galaxy. The battery can be replaced in your phone, but you'll have to pay a labor fee to have it done, or you'll need to get some tools to do it yourself.

Tioo does have a good point - the HTC One M8 is one heck of a phone.

  • Why do I do this? I'm very very very tired yet I don't want to sleep? I want to sleep because I'm practically blinking and bobbing my head side to side like a drunken man but I just don't want to sleep. I watch tv or go on Facebook or play on my iPhone. And I'm starting to get dark circles. And as a guy I don't wear. Concealer or whatever
  • My iPhone runs out of power quickly? My iPhone dies in power pretty quickly. It can be 100% at the start of the day, then after a few hours of use, it's down to 40-50%. Then 0%. Is there something wrong with my iPhone? Ken D: Never heard of Sarah P, but I'm from Australia. Lol
  • My iPhone runs out of battery? So I was playing an app just now, then after 20 seconds it became 100% to 0%. How do I fix this problem?
  • My iPhone runs out of battery quickly? I just got my iPhone on my birthday 7/2 and I love it. One problem it runs out of battery extremely quick. I did an experiment last night I took a screen shot of my screen being at 100% and when I woke up it was at 73% I cancelled all my apps the night before but it just runs out really quickly
