Here we go again. Another new iPhone generation and another wave of battery life complaints rises again. I can clearly remember similar stuff going on around the times the iPhone 4S, the iPhone 4, and the iPhone 3GS were released. But is that supposed to be a consolation?
There’s little official battery troubleshooting info available from Apple and yet, it’s a real problem for a lots of users, as this thread alone in Apple Forums would tell you. Unfortunately, it’s a self-help thread where users try to help each other instead of getting some meaningful feedback from Apple.
I can only guess what’s causing the issues, but the collective wisdom has already produced a nice set of “see if it helps” suggestions. There are a lot of success stores there, so some of the pieces of advice are certainly solid.
The top tip I saw was to restore the iPhone in iTunes the regular way, but without restoring any backups you may have as that would usually carry over software bugs. The second best suggestion is to let the iPhone go through a few battery cycles, meaning letting it drain completely and then charging it up good. My best bet is these two alone would fix most cases of underwhelming battery life.
My iPhone 5 battery life has been less than stellar too, with standby at night eating through the battery a lot faster than my iPhone 4. I’ll certainly give a few of these suggestions a try. I found this post to be a nice starting point.
So how about you, are you happy with your iPhone 5 battery life so far?
