It’s not the update, as it doesn’t affect other users, only you. It is most likely a coincidental hardware problem.

Personally I’ve performed just about every test I can think of on my 6S Plus including deleting questionable apps and contacting Apple support. Without doubt it’s a mischievous software issue.

Mine is doing that also. Battery health says 88%. Just charged to 100% 10 minutes ago now it reads 92%. I can’t see anything using battery.

Re: “… it has bugs because it is an older software. Try updating … “

The OP clearly posted both his device AND his iOS version … which IS the current version.

I had very similar issue as you described. When updated from 15.7.x to 15.8.x my both iPhones (SE 1.gen & 7) started to behave strange - shutting down with charged battery (fyi, on SE bat. health was 100% without any issues before update) etc... This was not only issue - battery was draining much faster than before, especially when using wi-fi and during the calls.

Frustrated by this behavior I've decided to revert back to 15.7.x (I still have older blobs stored) but the downgrade didn't helped at all, it was the same. So it is not iOS what is causing this issue, it might be either latest baseband or SEP firmware...

It is well known that Apple has done updates in the past which, by design and with reported intent, has sped up the decline of battery life and slowed down functionality of older devices.

It's "well-known" but wrong. Apple throttles phones that already have old, failing batteries so that the phone does shutdown suddenly and unexpectedly, leaving someone without a phone. What they got in trouble for was not disclosing this as clearly as it was felt they should have. And, news flash, iPhones still work this way.

I see Apple’s stock declining over the next few years as more people tire of Apple’s tactics and jump ship to Google products.

You should always buy the tool that best meets your needs. However, I suggest you take your investment advice from a professional.

I updated to 15.8.2 recently and my microphone stopped working. I can’t make calls or record audio. Even videos record without sound. There’s a noticeable delay in everything now. Camera delays a lot and stutters when recording and even delays when pressing the capture button for photos.

As a fellow member of the small 6s community, I can only say we’ve encountered no issues w/ 15.8.2.

That’s not meant to discount your issues, only to provide one “data point.”

That symptom is usually a battery with a high internal resistance, but usually the battery health message catches that, at least on newer phones. It may not have in your 8 year old design.
