Ensure Wifi and BT are only on when needed, disable Location Services and set your email to Manual rather than Push and your battery life will be extended a fair bit IMO.

Hasn't crippled my phone and as I said before, I only have to charge mine every 2-3 days.

Thb after getting used to post-bb smartphones, I don't mind charging every day. My current phone could, if I wanted, last two days, just.
But I'd rather charge it in the night when it's anywhere between 40-60% for a couple of reasons:

  1. Charging it every day I don't have to think "did I charge it yesterday"? Or "do I HAVE to charge it today?" And when I do forget my phone downstairs, I'll have enough to last the day the next day if needed.
  2. I don't have to bother with "turn bluetooth off" or "turn wifi off" because frankly, that's just a PITA. Turn it on when getting in the car? getting out turn it off again.

Well it looks like my 5 must have done an auto update last night, went to use it this morning and it looks like it's stuck in a perpetual reboot cycle, Apple logo, then a noise, back to Apple logo. It doesn't show in iTunes, although iPhoto opens when I plug into my Mac.

Any ideas?

Have you reset it holding the home and sleep button?

Yes, have done all the basic things. However, better news, it's just connected to iTunes, holding down the home button whilst plugging in did it, waiting for iTunes to update or restore. Fingers crossed!

Two attempts to update, still looks like it's bricked.

Speak to Apple, I believe they are quite good with iOS updates bricking devices.

Just been on the phone to them, no 'genius' bar appointments for over a week! Just firing up my trusty old iPhone 3!
