I need some Iphone help

After using a droid for a year, I now have a Iphone because I need work email & that's all they support...

How anyone uses a Iphone I just don't know. It is SO frustrating to use. The lack of any useful call notification is really a problem.
The lack of the many apps droid has that I used to have that have zero equivalent SUCK.

But anyway......

My 5 is sucking down power big time. I already went through & turned off some things, but I need constant push email on 3 accounts. I need Bluetooth and & I need Wifi on.
I am not running any apps & did the tweaks I have read about already.
I do get 200 emails a day though. My battery is fully charged at 7am & almost dead by 6pm & I don't even make many calls during the day. The phone is on vibrate all day long as it's an office.
Are there any battery apps that would help this? I found a few but they are more informative then useful. I want something like a battery manager that turns off things until I or an app request to use.

facebook is a huge battery killer, do you have it installed with notifications on? note that Facebook app has notification settings burried within the app as well so turning them off in just iOS settings is not enough.

Turn off background app refresh for things you don't need. Or just do what I do and keep a charger in the office.

Any apps are set to off. I have zero social media on the phone & only have a few basic apps & no games. This is why I can't understand why the battery sucks so bad. The droid wasn't stellar but it lasted at least 2 days.
