First off, apologies if there is already a thread on this, I didn't have time to trawl through every page to check.
My husband has had an iPhone 4S for four, maybe a little more, years.
For the past couple of months he's been leaving the house with the phone charged at 100%, and getting back maybe 8 or 9 hours later with it down to 20% plus.
He very, very, rarely uses it for data, just calls, and maybe 4 or 5 per day of them, 3 or 4 texts and sometimes the same amount of WhatsApps.
On occasion he'll have 23, 24, 25%, pick the phone up to make a call and it will die in his hands and he'll have to charge it straight away.
He's been advised to get a new charger, but neither he, nor I, can understand that.
He bought it brand new from an Apple Store, and of course, it came with a charger, which he has always used.
If the charger takes the phone to maximum battery, 100%, and the phone runs down quicker than you'd expect from that 100%, can it possibly be the fault of the existing charger?
My iPhone 6 lasts for a couple of days, and I use way more data than my husband, probably more calls and texts as well.

He went on the Apple chat-line and made an appointment for Boxing Day at the Apple Store at Westfield, Stratford.
They told him that the battery was 'consumed', presumably that's Apple talk for finished, and quoted him £70 for a replacement to be fitted, and to come back in two hours to get the phone.
When he went back this had changed to £59.00, he's happy again.
