Salut. Am rezolvat *** am scris si mai sus,am conectat iPhoneul la o sursa de alimentare si la un hotspot(wifi) si din settings->general->software update am updatat iOS-ul. Cat despre baterie,nu s-a schimbat nimic dar sunt o gramada de sfaturi utile pe internet *** sa-ti optimizezi bateria. Sper sa te ajute mesajul meu,Craciun fericit.
