Title: OMG I hate APPLE!

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!

BTW, in the current release of iOS, they included a Battery Health measure. Look in Settings under Battery to see what it thinks your maximum battery capacity is and whether it is throttling your phone to save your battery.

I have an iPhone 7 from late 2016. It says that it still has 91% of its original capacity. But I don't use it much, charge it every 5-6 days usually. It's in standby mode all the time with cellular, wifi and Bluetooth enabled. So I don't use it very much or my battery would probably be at 80% or less.

I think why it was so bad this mourning is because I plug the charger into the battery backup on my phone which is attached to the charging port on the phone. So if I lost compatibility of my battery backup means my phone did not get charged like it normally does at night.

Even so, your phone should be able to run at least a half-day with only the built-in battery. Like I said, you've just got an old battery that's been charged too many times.

The batteries don't last forever. It's like complaining that you have to replace a car battery after 5-6 years.

If you want to make a change to Android, this might be the time to do it rather than spending for a replacement battery. Especially since iOS 12 will probably not support the 5s. iOS 9 was the last version that can run on my iPhone 4s so I still run it but you can't trust it to be secure at all, not the way you can if you're running a current iOS version like you are with the 5s. iOS 12 will supposedly be out in June but will drop support for iPhone 5 and 5s. Only the iPhone 6 or later will be able to run iOS 12.

As for security, keep in mind that most Android phones never get more than one or two OS updates ever (except for Google's own pricey phones). The other manufacturers take Android and rewrite bits and pieces and you end up with lots of Android phones that just never get updated and are extremely vulnerable to hackers. Your old iPhone 5s got security updates just last week; name any Android phone over 3 years old that gets any updates at all. They don't exist, other than Google's Nexus and Pixel phones. Even Samsung's priciest phones rarely get more than a couple of OS updates before they're entirely abandoned, right around the time the two-year purchase contract at major carriers like AT&T/Verizon is up and it's time for a new crop of phones.

Apple's walled garden and hardware have problems and shortcomings but Android is no bed of roses either when you really know what they're doing. A quality Android phone that gets regular updates costs as much as Apple hardware does and costs almost as much (but does have slightly better hardware like cameras).
