My iPhone has recently developed an awful battery life!

It's currently reading 5 hours standby 3 hours usage (few texts and Facebook usage - no audio or video) and has 28% battery left!

Is it jus me or is that exceptionally bad? I have closed all apps! Brightness is roughy 1/4 no location services on!

Just gone down 2% writing this :(
 
You're not the only one, 5.1 has made the battery a lot worse for people including myself.

I take it you've done the normal things like, notifications off, system services off etc? Restored from new? (Not backup) etc.

I've just been to the apple store yesterday and swapped it for another one (third now).
 
Ive done it all! Think i might make an appointment and see if they will change! Did they just swap it out

Yeah just go in, mention the battery etc and they'll do some diagnostics stuff but in the end just swap it for you.

You'll be amazed at all the customers next to you doing the exact same thing!
 
Just hard when the nearest apple store is 50 mine from my house! And when in London I'm at work till 7pm so can't get there
 
Again difficult in London as all friends are colleagues I'll have to leave it at home see if I can get someone to drive if 50mile for me!
 
managed to get lucky.

pulled into cribs causeway on the way back from london and they had a no show! Squeezed me in and now i have a new phone :)
 
Any luck with the Apple store?

I was wondering if you have tried "reset network settings" or restoring the phone? I've done my research as I initially had problems but they seem to be a lot better now... I have the details in the link below if you are interested... but your battery drain description sounds terrible! How long have you had it for?
