I have an Apple 5S. I have had it probably 4 or 5 years(not really sure how long). I also bought an Ipad soon after. They were pretty good until last summer when I got "that" update and they have become energy hogs. They will not accept some programs or devices. I have lost my Bluetooth to my Ipad. I have a slip on battery backup for my phone because I use it soo much. I never make throw the day and sometimes I have to charge it up 3 times to make it. With the slip on battery I can just push a button and its start charging my phone(really would like one for my Ipad too) instead of leaving it in my truck or office which I tend to forget. Well just installed another update last night and they did it again. I have not used my phone today other than people calling me. Took it off the charger around 7am and just looked I'm at 19% and its ready to shut down on me. Well I said a few choice words and hit the button to charge my phone. Guess what! It does not recognize my battery so now I have to plug into a wall charger! Which by the way I had to rebuy because the old ones where not compatible with my phone even thou I know when I bought them they were Apple approved from Amazon.

This is it for me. If I replace these devices it will not be Apple product! Apple will have lost me for good. I provide phones for my guys and they chose Galaxy while I choose Apple. Well sounds like there will be a Galaxy in my future sooner than I wished. I really do hate changes. I have enough to deal with than learning more new stuff. Government regs keep me busy enough!

This seems uninformed. All these devices with lithium batteries have a limited battery life. After 400-500 charges, they all decline to 75% or less of their original capacity. And it just declines from there.

The 5S and the iPad that you have both are old and have battery age issues. Any device that old has battery age issues, most of them worse because Apple does have some of the best batteries around.

You've got a bad battery, not a defective phone. You can get the battery replaced by a cellphone service tech. It's very ordinary, usually $35-$50. You can usually find them via a web search or on Craigslist. Even some small towns have a qualified tech that can do these repairs in a few hours. You could try to DIY but I wouldn't recommend it if you aren't really good with tiny electronics and those delicate cables.

iFixIt: How to replace the battery in an iPhone 5s

You can buy the kits with the battery and the needed tiny screwdrivers and spudge tools at Amazon for as little as $10.

Of course, I do have Apple gadgets so I'm not neutral. But I don't expect my old iPad 2 or my old iPhone 4s to hold a charge the way they used to either. My 4s got a new battery when I bought it used and it has had good battery life the last 3-4 years that I've had it. But it is nowhere near as good as it was when I first started using it.

If you've recharged your phone/pad more than a thousand times, battery life is a small fraction of what it was when it was new. Those are just the facts with any of these lithium battery phones/pads.

I do think the next release of iOS is likely to exclude the iPhone 5s. So the 5s may be at the end of the road as far as iOS updates, no matter what. And many of the current features of iOS are disabled on it because it isn't powerful enough to run the newer features like multitasking and splitscreen.

The Chinese phones (Hwaiwei) are being excluded by American companies. So you're down to Android phones like Samsung or the cheapos like ZTE. I did notice that a modern Google Android Go phone was just announced from ZTE for about $80. It's Google's latest offering for a budget phone OS.

I might try that. We do use a phone repair place. My guys are always breaking the glass screens.

The other major issue is nothing is compatible after updates. Seems like after updates I lose functionality with other devices which irritates me. I really dread getting something new.
