I have the iPhone 5 now. Until getting this phone, I&#x27;ve never had a cell phone (I don&#x27;t really get that many phone calls so I haven&#x27;t bothered). To be honest, the battery life isn&#x27;t great, but I just bought a small external battery to charge it when necessary. It was cheaper than a replacement and I didn&#x27;t want to risk making a mistake in the swap. I have more than enough technical skill to do it, but since it&#x27;s now my only phone I decided not to take the chance. I might do it if the battery life gets too bad.
