IPod touch sixth generation battery life

2015-08-27 Thread Mary Otten
For those of you who have purchased the newest iPod touch, I am curious how is 
the battery life? I have an iPad mini, which I like quite a bit, but I know 
that the touch has a little bit better chip in it. I also have an iPhone 5 S, 
which I'm really satisfied with, but I noticed that I'm not getting the battery 
life out of it that I used to, not surprising given how much I use it. So I'm 
thinking about upgrading my phone and turning the 5S into more or less an iPod 
touch. My old for S is about done. I'm curious about the new touches battery 
life, however, because it would be far cheaper to get one of those and then it 
would be to purchase a new phone. All of this is just in the thinking stage. I 
have read articles about the battery life compared to the iPad mini, but of 
course, that is with the video fully engaged. And I don't plan to do that with 
a new touch. So, any comments would be appreciated.

Re: IPod touch sixth generation battery life

2015-08-27 Thread Richard Turner

I bought it on July 19th.
I usually lock it while listening to books or music.
I am not sure it is getting as good battery life as my 5th Generation did when 
I had it.
They say you should get 40 hours of playback when locked.
I'm probably getting half of that or less, I think.
I have not kept a running log or anything, so it might be more.
That still isn't bad but not what I expected.
Richard

Thanks, richard. 20 hours or so of playback with the screen locked is kind of 
disappointing, especially considering you have a new device with a new battery. 
it can only be down from here. I will be curious if others on the list have 
similar performance.

the next time I run it way down and fully charge it, I'll try to keep beter 
track.
In fact, maybe I will do what I did when I got my 5th gen a few years ago. I'll 
set it to shuffle and lock it and let it run and see what happens.
I have almost 4 days worth of music, so that won't be a problem.
