I still have not had any luck with settings' modifications. My 6s still dies out of nowhere, even though there is still supposedly a charge remaining on the device. I contacted Apple Support (or lack thereof) and after the mobile diagnostics checked out and all hardware components passed, the rep stated, "This is a really wired situation." Not exactly helpful in the slightest bit.

Here's everything I've tried:


    • Hard/Soft reset
    • Reinstall iOS from backup and from scratch
    • Reset Network settings (This did fix Bluetooth not detecting wireless headphones)
    • Turned off Bluetooth, Push settings, background apps, and location services
    • Disabled 'Optimized Battery Charging'
    • Enabled 'Low Power Mode' 24/7


None of this helped...

Worse here too. My phone has crashed at least ten times. I’ve had it plugged in for hours at a time, and when unplugged my battery percentage is at 10%. Then it immediately crashes. Ten times.

I don’t know how they did it, but they made it worse.

Thanks a lot Apple.

I literally now have to keep the phone plugged in all the time. It’s less useful than a cordless phone.

I now own a $700 corded phone. It might as well have a rotary dial.

Funny... an early design of the iPhone included a rotary dial. Too bad, might come in handy now.

Paperweight.

I have a never-used iPhone 6S I recently purchased and that I had been planning to take to the Apple Store for help swapping for my current 6S with the terrible battery drain. Unfortunately, the pandemic put that plan on hold. I am a little reluctant to make the swap in case iOS 13.x is actually causing the iPhone to mis-operate in a way that results in physical damage. So far, no change with iOS 13.4, the battery level randomly drops rapidly for no obvious reason despite 95% battery health.
