battery drain iphone 6s 13.1.2

Sadly, seems nothing changed on my 6s for now. I tried both recovery mode and DFU mode: in one night of airplane mode, it dropped from 100% to 91%. It's a clean iOS 13.3 with nothing installed, only iCloud account.

Thx. I’ll have to definitely try the DFU mode restore. As you can see from my screenshot still problems on my side of things. Readings are all over the place. Especially the sudden drops and sudden charging increases in %

Hope seems to be lost. Unplugged my phone at 100% this morning. Powered down and did not turn on for 3.5 hours. Was at 88% and within 30 seconds of just starring at the screen was 79%

Oddly, the last few days, I'll recharge in the afternoon and then it works fine for the rest of the day. But after unplugging in the morning I experience (apparent) rapid drain. I also use the phone more that second leg. Music on wireless headphones, while in the morning, the phone is mostly in my pocket in standby (or off).

Something new I am noticing (6s).

The battery meter shows 100% or something close. As I have experienced challenges in phone shutting down unexpectedly during a phone call, I plug the phone into the charger and the device goes into a restart. When ready to go again, the batter level is in the teens or less... This has now happened several times in the past 3-4 days.

The may lend more credence that there is a problem with the device understanding the true level of the batter charge and that is the real problem.

My battery drain problems still persists months later, and a few updates later.

I left my phone unplugged from charger at 49% last night (had only one outlet and needed to charge my powerbank) and woke up to a dead phone. This is just an illustration of what battery life I've been getting from my 6S plus in the past few months.

No matter how little I use it the battery will drain like mad, even if I put it in Flight mode. I carry a powerbank and charging cables everywhere. Battery health at 88%. As I type this the phone is hot as lava.

Throw another affects phone into the pile. I love my 6s. Noting wrong with it AT ALL. Got my battery replaced just over a year ago. No issues after that...until I had to upgrade to 13.x ("mysteriously" I couldn't access the Apple Store after staying with 12.x, go figure...). This INFURIATES me to no end, as I agree this is intentional obsolescence. Apple refuses to admit there's an issue and just wants everyone to pay hundreds of dollars to upgrade. End of story.

After trying out the latest update, and after trying many tips and fixes, I was still suffering battery drain, so I ordered a new phone, not an iPhone as I previously said was my intention if I changed my phone.

As I posted, I have only been with Apple phones a few years, but have been using mobiles since they first came out, (a large two piece unit, a massive battery in one, with a phone on a lead to it :o), and must say I have never before had a phone relegated to no longer fit for purpose by a manufacturer who denies an update has caused the problem. The fact that my iPhone 7 went from losing just a few percent overnight on standby, to 40% immediately and thereafter after the update to ios 13, which seemingly indicated I needed a new battery or I was misusing it in some way by Apple and its staff.

Either way, I have found my fix, and wish you all success in getting Apple to fix what they have caused, and I would hope provide a cheap battery replacement to all those who have needed to charge their phones 2 or 3 times a day, thereby reducing the life of the battery.

I will wait a while to see if a fix does come out before I put my iPhone on Ebay, as I would not like to sell it to anyone as it is.

Yes, there very many like us, and the sad thing is Apple do not seem to listen, and all you get is "you need a new battery", or you need to stop using anything that uses your battery. I am of the opinion the update rendered my iPhone 7 useless, and having to charge it so often reduces battery life. My iPhone is still in the family, so if they do eventually fix it, a member of my family will be happy.

I formed a bad opinion of Apple reading this forum and the responses, but I have to admit, having talked to Apple support, the guy I spoke to was really a great guy, and a good advocate for Apple, and went out of his way to help, but you cannot blame him for a really awful development process, which needs to change. Not being able to revert to an earlier level of IOS just for a start.

I should have added in my post earlier today that when I took my iPad into the Genius bar, the folks there were very helpful and empathetic. The approach we took on the iPad was to basically WIPE IT and start from ground zero.

Nothing changed except all the apps that I wasn't using all that frequently never got added back on. Including my work Outlook. I find no point in trying to use it as a work device since it just dies mid way through the day on heavy usage.

Well I’m pretty sure that there’s nothing wrong with my phone’s battery or that is really draining fast ( although it reports that it is )

( It also reports ultra fast charging. )

Don’t know whether it’s a deliberate sprinkling of devil dust into our very serviceable 6 and 6s phone ( the one’s with a really decent processor and a useful and quite desirable headphone jack )

I wonder how many 6/6s owners who were hanging on to their phones have, since IOS ( appropriately numbered ) 13, have decided to upgrade to a newer ( headphone jack-less ) shinier model?

Same as everyone. Ios13.1.2. Booooo

Please tell us if that worked.

I have exactly the same issue on my 6s. Drains faster than it can charge. Very disappointing.

Same with my 7 plus. Immediately after the update my battery life went from 86% to 75% and now I have to charge it all the time

My wife's iPhone 6S will show charged, and as soon as you open an app, the battery low window pops up. It then restarts

Hope this gets fixed
