Why is my iphone 4 battery so quick to run out?

I just got a new iphone 4, i have downloaded the new ios6 software as soon as i go the phone, the phone is fantastic, but the battery does not last long at all.

I find my iPhone 4 battery lasts longer than my iPhone 3G did, but it still only lasts a day/day and a half. If you download the BatteryDoctor app, it has loads of good tips on how to lengthen the battery life, eg reduce the brightness of the screen. It also has a feature to do a 'full cycle charge' which in the long run makes your battery last longer.

When you have the brightest setting or the screen it is better to have it plugged in and then when your out unplugged use it sparingly

Short battery life is a known problem with IOS6. But a phone that worked properly wouldn't be cool. Apple makes a fortune by ripping off the naive. Did you want to borrow my Android tablet with the accurate maps?

  • Why does my iPhone battery drain so quick? I took my phone off the charger at about 9:30am, it's now 10:01am and it was on 100%, I hardly used it, I only went on Facebook to check the newsfeed and reply to an inbox and now it's on 87%? I was watching it go down and it goes down 1% roughly every 2 minutes. It's been happening for about a week now and I'm lucky if my phone lasts me half a day. What can I do (WITHOUT BUYING A NEW PHONE)
  • Why does my iphone 5s battery drain so quick? So I never have my 3G on as I know it's a real battery killer, my brightness is always at it's lowest and I rarely ever go on my phone yet still somehow my 100 percent battery at most will last 2-3 hours rarely ever that?
