Q: 8.4.1 iOS Update battery draining quickly & overheating

Hi, I've recently noticed with this new update that my battery is draining very quickly with little or no use. It started when I came home from work my iPhone was on 1% and as a nurse, I barely get time to have a break so I don't use my phone whilst I'm at work. I also ensure that I shut down all of the apps that I use before I click the lock screen button. This was when I had the 8.3.1 iOS update.


The next day the exact same thing happened. Around 5pm my iPhone blanked out with barely any use. Then I had a notification that the new iOS update (8.4.1) , so I updated it. Honestly I wished I didn't because its just made the whole situation 10 x worse. When my iPhone is in charge or on the table I find that it is overheating quite a lot.


Now in the morning my battery was 1% with barely any use. In the night my phone is at my bedside table, all of the open apps i've closed. In the night I don't use my phone at all and I dont set an alarm and yet this problem still occurs.


Is anyone else experiencing this problem? If so, please reply

    I just got back from the Apple store. They replaced my 5s out of warranty at no cost, because the battery had suffered from a quality problem. The battery was swelling, which put pressure on other components and actually warped the phone. Initially they were going to just replace the battery, but on further inspection there were other issues.

     

    My advice, if you are having a battery issue in a 5 or 5s, is to take it to the genius bar and have them check it out. They were exceedingly nice to me, and the whole issue was taken care of in about an hour.
