Hi all

Had my iPhone 5S for about a year now, for some reason, it keeps dying at 5-10%

I've tried a factory reset etc, but I'm just worried that the warranty runs out in a few months, and I want to hold out till next year for the iPhone 7.

This always happens to my iPhones. I keep them in cases etc, but I always get this battery fault where it starts dying from like 5-10%.

Any idea why this happens?

Thanks

<shrug> The battery has a bad cell. Have the phone serviced.

Make up your mind. The phone has a year warranty.
