Iphone 5 battery recal

[Cordogs]

For those of you that have iphone 5's with battery problems,



Apple is finally admitting they gave us dodgy batteries, so for a short time they're offering a replacement on models manufactured between Sep-2012 & Jan-2013.

That's interesting.

I have had the best battery life out of my 5S than any other phone in my life.

Looks like I'm not effected.

Yeah I bought the miso a 5s at Christmas and it's bloody fantastic!

My 5 is eligible for a change over, it'll just randomly shut off at like 42%. Or be at 70% and drop to 13% within a few minutes!

I never had issues like this with my 4?

my wifes' and my Samsung S4 battery was shutting off at between 30% and 45% Corey, they replaced it free of charge too

 

[Cordogs]

Yeah so they should too! Can't begin to tell you how annoying this is!

I took my phone off charge at about half four this morning and I'm already on 67% ��

I've was going to wait for the 6 to come out, but if it's going to be one of those ridiculous phablets I'll be happy to keep this one with a decent battery! :thumbup:

I will give you the tip, bluetooth on a phone is the biggest battery killer of all. WIFI isn't that great but no were near as bad.

I only switch mine on when I jump in to the car. I use my phone heavily for work and I can get 3 days sometimes without a charge. Winning.

3 days is impressive, only thing I really use is the brightness. I tried the whole turn on the Bluetooth n wifi thing but I'd always forget to put it back on and then some one would call me in the car n my phone would be in my pocket and....... It was just too hard in the end!

i dunno if the I Phone is the same,
but on the Galaxy S4 there are a heap of default settings you can turn off that are in a hidden menu.
my phone battery lasts 4 days if i'm not on it all day now.
i found it on the net somewhere, something like holding your home button for 10 seconds brings up this other menu that isn't normally visible
