Not sure if you know this, but do you "minimize" your app or "close" it once you are done using it? My battery life is significantly better when I close all my apps instead of just minimizing them. Don't assume that app is closed iPhone users know how to close an open app: simply press the Home button, right? Nope. Sure, that tucks it away out of sight, but in most cases it's still running in the background — and could be one of the main reasons your iPhone battery is draining so quickly. For example, if you close a GPS navigation app, iPhone thinks you still want it running -- so you'll hear turn-by-turn directions. Ditto for playing music and then minimizing it to read your email, browse the web or look at photos. Instead, to properly close your open iPhone apps and save on battery life, double-tap the Home button and you'll see a multitasking bar appear at the bottom of the screen. Now press and hold an open (but minimized) app and all the icons will start jiggling. Tap the small red "minus" tab to close down the app properly.

do not charge frequently, charge to the fullest and drain it to complete. this will extend the life of the battery.

 and i wanna add, my iphone heats up by itself. it gets hot on its own even when it's not charging.

 maybe gwach bro...few weeks back, my phone had dropped in the sink full of water but after drying it for some it, it miraculously worked. So what's the solution bro?

turn your wifi off when not using it , for eg. if your on the road and using your data service and also the LTE if your area does not have it.
