I've had my iPhone 6 since the end of October 2015. Everything has been great, until recently. Suddenly, my battery drains A LOT faster than usual. I never let the percentage get below 50%, and I don't have many apps, the brightness is always halfway, and it's on DND overnight. I have AppleCare, but would they replace the battery or would I have to buy a new phone through applecare? Thanks.
My wife also had the same problem on her iPhone 6 two months ago. Same steps, we turned off background apps and shut off bluetooth and so on and so forth. All the troubleshooting steps Apple mentions online. Which by the way don't make sense because the phone went from working perfectly to all the sudden not being able to hold a charge almost overnight. My wife is not a power user either and has very few apps she actually uses. Anyway I took it to the Apple store and waited in line for a couple of hours and at that point insisted that they replace the battery even if I had to pay full price for the repair which was around a hundred bucks. For me I'd rather pay the 100 bucks to make the problem go away than have to spend half a day standing in line at a crowded Apple store. Anyway, that worked and she hasn't had a problem since.
Also a new map feature showed up recently, or I just started noticing it, 'Show parked location' where the phone is now periodically popping up a notification saying it saved the location of my car. My opinion, there must be some power consuming process running in the background that monitors my phone and decides that I have been in my car and parked it so it can save my location and show me a notification. I turned that off using the switch in the 'Maps' settings window. Will see if that makes a difference. Has anyone else noticed this feature? Is it new or I just didn't notice it before?
Got the exact same problem !!
Battery drains down to fast and when plugged it jumps to 40 %!!
I have recently heard that Apple is intentionally doing that to force their users to upgrade to newer versions of iphone, becuase as I actually heard that it only happens to phones with ios 10 and higher making things pretty obvious !
If someone has tried sth like going back to older ios or sth like that, plz tell us !!!
I have just replaced my iPhone 6 battery with a new OEM battery and still have the same issue. I restored my phone back to factory default and I cant even get 4 hours from my battery. (At least its getting good cycling). I have tried everything and yet nothing has even slowed the drain down (even with just restored like new) phone.
When is Apple going to fix this issue or at least provide a link to enable the affected users to re-install IOS10. Have you had any luck or responses yet?
I am now at my wits end and am considering going to a supermarket and buying a cheap smart phone for around $150 (aus).
If you are going to take advantage of the new battery read the fine print very carefully as you mat not be able to take advantage of it.
Is anyone having the same problem on Iphone 7 or 8?
I have iPhone 6 Plus and I am experiencing a sudden and unusual battery drain. I am convinced that Apple is causing that to make us buy a new iPhone. But I can’t afford one. I will never buy Apple products again!

The only clear answer is to dump all Apple products and switch to android. I can’t BELIEVE how greedy Apple is being. I mean don’t we pay enough for these things just to have Apple kill our old phones with updates? Pathe
I still haven't done the upgrade and I'm starting to see an issue with the battery draining quickly
I have this issue been charged all night now at 14% what is the resolution please?
According to this, it applies world-wide to iPhone 6 and newer devices.

Apple has announced that they will replace your battery at a sharply discounted rate <$30.
How did you solve it?
Try turning off the iCloud Calendar and see if you notice an improvement. It ***** as a solution if you use the iCloud Calendar, but it doesn't affect me since I manage my calendars through Google.
Go into settings - general . . . then scroll to - "reset" and click "reset all settings" (not necessary to reset media) - this completely fixed the battery drain issue on my iPhone 6!
I'm not certain but you might be on to something. Mine also showed Siri using all the battery although I rarely use Siri at all.
Mine shows Siri using the vast majority of the battery life. I don't use Siri much if at all and have turned it off.
How it is now doing. Has it worked! Was it worth it?
