I had a perfectly good iphone 5S until the last few updates. Called Apple yesterday, wiped out and rebuilt the phone from scratch per their directions (battery tested fine per them), and today after waking up and pressing one notification, it happened again. The phone went from 70% to 0% in one second. Plugged it in and within seconds said battery was nearly charged again. Yet I know it is unusable because it is so unpredictable. You never know when it is going to fail. I don't know why Apple doesn't at least own up to this issue and provide a fix. Can't buy the new 6/6S for several months yet personally. I wonder, do people with the newest version also have this problem with the software updates anyway?
Oh, and Apple Store/Supervisor was a real pain yesterday. First they wanted to charge me 29.00 to even speak to someone at the store about the potential security issue (so I thought due to it being a power problem). Then when I got someone who said I didn't need to pay for this issue to speak to anyone, after working with me for a while on the phone, his supervisor took the call, sent him on another, refused to turn her headset down so that we could carry on a decent conversation (echo was so bad we could not communicate), took my phone number, and then never called me back. I waited 45 minutes. No call. Then this morning found the darn phone and alleged fix did not resolve the issue.
Come on Apple. What the heck are you thinking?
