My battery keeps draining on my iPhone 6s. I didn’t have this problem before the new iOS updates. I’m seriously getting tired of having to turn my phone off, wait a few minutes, and turn it back on again. Should I get a new phone or see if the battery just needs to be replaced?
iPhone 6s, iOS 15
Hey there RevanMandalore,
Battery life may be less than expected for a short time after updating. This occurs due to it downloading app data, syncing contacts, indexing search results, and completing the digital housekeeping for a new update. We recommend following these battery tips going forward: Batteries - Maximizing Performance
While we recommend monitoring the battery life for the same issue after 72 hours from updating(in conjunction with using our battery tips), we’d like to rule out some other possible causes:
1. A screenshot of what shows within Settings > Battery > Battery Health & Charging.
2. A screenshot of the app/feature that was using the most battery within Settings > Battery > Last 24 Hours > Battery Usage, along with the percentage it used after tapping on ‘Show Battery Usage’.
3. Is it being used within its temperature range? Check for the range near the top here: If your iPhone or iPad gets too hot or too cold
4. Any app updates available? Here are the steps to check: How to manually update apps on your Apple device
5. Which exact iOS 15 version is installed under Settings > General > About?
6. How many hours is the battery lasting from a full charge?
7. If you recently updated, how many days ago was it installed?
Cheers!

Hello RevanMandalore,
Given the issue you're experiencing, it's best to contact Apple Support so they can deep dive the battery concern you're experiencing and help determine the best solution. You can reach them directly at Get Support.
Best regards.
There’s no indication of the temperature of the phone being too hot or too cold. No app updates. I only have one app on the phone. The current IOS is 15.7.6. I’m not sure about the hours it takes to drain, but shouldn’t drain down to 1% when I’m not using it. I think my phone updated yesterday.
