my 6s battery is draining fast after the 15.7.8 update and getting worse. iOS 16.1.1 does appear to be available for the 6s? Not the original battery replacement 12/2020. Started draining 50% in 30 minutes now draining 90% in less than 10 minutes. Cleared the cache, deleted apps I’m not using and updated the ones I am. Did not help.
Hey there Kohpebble,

Thanks,
Yes I did all of that, battery health is good at 86% check the activity too. Cleared the cache and deleted apps I’m not using. Definitely helped but still draining really fast and crashing sporadically. It’s my understanding this is a bug in the iOS update 15.7.1 and that it’s fix is in the iOS update 16.1.1 but that update does not seem to be available for iPhone 6S.
