Are you actually using an iPhone 6s? If so, have you ever had the battery replaced? I recommend you have Apple run diagnostics on the battery as it may need to be replaced.


I don't recall if it was an option on the iPhone 6s, but try going to Settings>Battery>Battery Health>Maximum Capacity. If you have that setting, what is there percentage?
