I've been dealing with my poor battery life forever. It's been bad through 3-4 iPhone generations and similar usage all throughout. When I say bad, I mean when 5 PM rolls around, I'm at about 30% most days. When I take my phone out to an event in the evening 100% charged and plan to take some pictures and videos, I almost always eventually run out of juice by the end of the night.
I never stream video or audio, never have bluetooth enabled, and spend probably 2-3 hours a day on wifi, the rest on ATT 3/4G. I drive about an hour a day and make probably 45 minutes of calls each day. Bluetooth is always disabled.
Apple replaced my current 4S just to appease me, and it made no difference. I also did a complete wipe and did not restore from the backup, which was painful but didn't help.
Today I was down to 79% 2 hours after removing it from the charger with essentially no usage outside screen-off music. Down to 30% after 7 hours of use. That's pretty typical.
My suspicion is that it has to do with my exchange syncing. I have two exchange accounts - one godaddy and one gmail (exchange specifically, not the normal gmail setup on iPhone). Is anyone else out there using Godaddy exchange, and if so, do you find your battery life consistent with mine? I compared it to another user today who is using Microsoft 365 exchange and at 5 PM after a day of no charging, she had 65% left.
I have NEVER had 65% remaining after 9 hours, no matter how little I did on my phone. I think tomorrow I will remove the exchange account for a day and see what happens.
I'm really just looking for some feedback from other users with exchange to see how much battery they get and what host they use. I never realized how bad I had it! Thanks!
