Sep 7, 2015 - A lot of battery drain issues occur when an app is supposed to close, but doesn’t. Instead, the app crashes in the background and your iPhone .

I can only assume you only keep your iPhones for a few months each.

Every iPhone owner I know has had some form of battery problem.

I’ve had my Galaxy S5 since 6/14. When my battery life started to suffer a little in September 2015, I bought a new Samsung battery on Amazon for $8.72, and took about 30 seconds to pop the back off and change out the battery.

My iPhone friends only wish it was that easy.

My original iPhone, purchased on the day the iPhone was first put on the market on June 29, 2007, was finally retired as a phone after several hand-me-downs among family members in 2014, seven years after being put into service as a phone, and the original battery still held an 80% charge for 24 hours and was usable. We handed it to my three year old granddaughter to use as an iPod touch, which she still uses to play games on. It now takes a 50% charge nine years after being put in service! That is far beyond the expected lifespan of that battery.
