New iPhone 6 4.7 getting hot and battery draining fast

It's cool that worked for you, but I had iCloud Drive off from the start so I don't think that was my issue, there must be something else, too, that's a culprit. The thing is that I am not now experiencing the problem and can't isolate the cause or solution.

Thanks! This appears to have solved the problem!

Everyone still affected by the battery / heating problem: try upgrading your iOS to 8.1.2 and let us know if it has fixed your problems!

I've had my iPhone 6 64GB for a month now and on the third day of using it I started noticing the same issue... It gets really hot on the left upper top of my phone for no reason and as soon as it gets really hot there goes the battery... I took it to the store and told me that I have a healthy phone and all they recommended was to restore the phone back to its original settings which I did but that didn't help at all... I've 3 different iPhone models before this one which I used the same way I am using my iPhone 6 and I never had an issue like that.... Any other advices out there?

My phone is running the current iOS 8.1.2 and the issue continues....

Hi M having iPhone 6 64 gb

m having the same issue but after updating 8.1.2 it got noticed. After using it for 10 mins and it feels very warm to touch on back, after 30 mins of browsing or playing basic candy crush it gets HEAT UP.

My iPhone 6 plus 128 GB is having the battery draining, running hot, issue after updating to iOS 8.1.2. Does this issue go away on it's own. Please provide feedback on how you fixed the issue. Anyone.

8.1.2 iPhone 6+ serious battery drain here. My mail app and settings app showing high usage with them hardly used.

Brand new iPhone 6, not restored from backup, same issue here. extreme hot... iOS 8.1.2 does not helped 😟

When I first received my iPhone 6 64g in November, I was actually boasting about battery life. It was pretty amazing. Somewhere between then and now, my battery drains by at least 20% within an hour - simply on idle! I have to constantly keep it charged while at my desk at work, and I keep a charger and cable with me everywhere I go. I went through all the motions - turning off background functions, alerts, sounds, etc., to no avail. It barely makes it through 5 hours of battery life, if I'm lucky. I typically leave my phone charging overnight, and this morning, it didn't even charge to 100%. It was at 82% charged. I'm trading it for a new one since it's still under warranty, and I hope I don't get a refurb. I'll be ******. I've never experienced this with any Apple product, and I'm so disappointed. I always thought that battery issues were due to users not knowing what they're doing. I'm hoping it's just a lemon. Actually, Apple should hope it's just a lemon.

To all still reading this post. I had the problem from day one of the iPhone 6 (128gb) on launch day and called support even sent to the Genius Bar with no help having followed all their suggestions turning off every conceivable notification service etc. even a clean install about a month ago and then restoring pictures and music separately nothing helped. They said it was because I lived in a marginal cell service area so the constant searching for signal was to blame. I had given up. AND then an unrelated accident happened and shattered the screen to make it unusable. I have Apple Care Plus (and a unlocked phone). They replaced the whole phone I restored from a backup to the new phone and now I have normal battery life. Moral of this story. I'm convinced it was the first phone's either a lemon or the triple flash memory used in the early first production phones. If you're having this issue replace your phone.

Hi, what is your normal battery life now? how many days? Thanks for your answer!

Almost always a full day depending on usage. But recently I got almost 1 1/2 days. That being said I am a heavy user and still living in a marginal cell service area.
