Your phone is updated to latest iOS?

Try a power bank: I use the Veho range.

Make sure your location thingy is off and you swipe up all your open apps.

Meanwhile, all over the country millions of people put their phone on a charger.

It's a hidden scam, probably a little bribe from the energy guys.

My iPhone is not even a year old, I don't do apps on my phone, no location services - but a fully charged phone lasted less than 12 hours on sat.

It's a fucking scam , ooh do you mind - can I just charge my phone. Millions of mobiles charging every day, don't get me started.

Oh

How often do you let it run down fully? It's good to do it once in a while,

I just buy cheap cables from Poundland as I'm forever damaging them.

Give it a sync too & remove all your photos

That's what I've got....can run everything including location, Bluetooth etc and get around 3 days between charges.

I've found if your auto brightness is switched on it drains fast. Turn it off and turn your brightness down.

Makes a huge difference

My iPhone may as well be a landline it's always attached to the wall!

The cables are awful as well spent £30 on two official cables and they broke in two months, so Now I order batches of 20 from China for £5.60 they last just as Long.

People say save battery by turning off internet etc but what's the point if I wanted a phone with no internet I'd have a Nokia brick.

Put a spring out of a clicky pen around the cable near where you plug it into your phone and it will stop it from breaking
