iPhone 6s Plus battery percentage getting stuck

My iPhone 6s Plus battery percentage gets stuck frequently. Like for example, it will say 87% all day, and then I'll plug it in for an hour, and it will still say 87%.

The only fix I've found is to power the phone off and then turn it back on. Then the percentage will update correctly, and will usually continue to update properly for awhile. But eventually it gets stuck again.

In the 3 days since it was delivered on Friday, I've had to reboot my iPhone 6s Plus at least four times to fix this issue.

I can confirm that this has happened on both iPhone 6s' I have had. Both of them were set up as new, not from a back up.

Hello, I have the same issue ... 😟 and I don't want to change because I have the TSMC chip !

I let my phone completely die until it turned off, then charged it completely. Since then the battery charge hasn't gotten stuck This may be a fix.

My phone was stuck at 100% again this morning. I rebooted and it dropped to 90%.

This is getting frustrating... 😠

I having same problem... the battery life is constantly getting stuck. I have attempted every solution offered by online chat support however nothing has solved the defect. The last attempt was reset to factory settings and not restore from backup. I still had same issue so it appears to be an iOS 9 or hardware issue. I am waiting on my appointment at Apple Store.

Thanks for letting us know this. I am having this problem on my second iPhone 6S. I brought my first one to the apple store last Friday. They could not find out what happened and gave me a new one, also the store people filed a report. The second one has the same issue.My wife's 6S has no issue at all! For me, this feels like a software issue. If this is a hardware issue, like battery, they should do a recall like they did for iPhone 5.
