    iphone 4s keeps switching off before battery drains. Sometimes on 30 or 40% battery. I have tried a hard set but no change. Any ideas?

    Very odd, would have suggested letting it run down to zero but you're even get the opportunity to do that. Maybe the battery's day is up, so if you're confident enough try replacing it yourself with one on eBay.

    You could call Apple and ask them to run a diagnostic on your iPhone. They will tell you how it's performing.

    If it's depleted, you could then either pay Apple to replace it, or as Naasrd suggested, replace it yourself.

    Assuming the phone is a couple of years old then basically your battery is knackered. They're good for about 500 charge cycles. Cheap enough to get replaced or you can buy one on eBay and do it yourself.

    500 cycles? As most people charge theirs one a day, do they?, does that mean most are nackered after a year and a bit?
    I charged my old 4s for 2.5 years solid. Battery still is good.

    500 is way off the mark. As I type I'm looking at my daughter using her 3 and half year old iPhone 4 that's been charged well over 1500 times.

    This started happening with my 4s after about 2 years. It would turn back on again sometimes after 30 minutes or so.

    Mine was only a few months old when it would do this . It would power off at over 30% and then show that I needed to connect the charger soon as the charger connects it will come back on and say it has 30% battery .
    I have had the iPhone 5c and now I have the iPhone 5s and they never had the same problem as my 4s had .
