Why can't Apple just fix the battery issue or software issue so we can have a phone that works. Technology is only

valuable for the Time it saves us, and right now this technology stinks! I've spent more time and energy trying to resolve this than if I had just thrown the phone in the garbage. So either the battery is bad, the software is defective, or we have been hacked by the Russians. Take your choice but Apple you have robbed me blind and stolen my trust.

I realized that 64% of my battery usage was being used by Facebook, which I was only using for a couple of minutes a day. I went to Settings, Facebook, Settings, and unchecked the Background App Refresh. It seems to have helped quite a bit. Facebook takes longer to load, but that's not much of an issue.

Yup, FaceBook (and FB Messager) are notorious battery hogs.

I have bad news for everyone:


There is ONE cause of battery drain. . the phone is using power. Period.


So unless you live in a cave and haven't noticed that everyone is spying on you all of the time then try to realize that when your phone is warm and the battery is draining that is because the phone is doing something, like transferring all of your data. . .or listening to your conversation. . .pinging other phones in the area. . . etc. etc.


"Gee. . .what a mystery. . .my phone is warm like I'm using it a lot and the battery is draining. . . what could that be?


Sheep. . . that's called spyware.

Dear Apple,


I have iphone 5, iphone 5s, iphone 6 and iphone 6s plus.


My iphone 5 and 5s battery are still healthy and work better than iphone 6.


i used beta public version of ios 10, after few months found battery draining very fast, i restored back to 9.3.5. switched off back ground refresh, switched off location service, icloud is off, display is dim., have limited apps.


but still battery draining very fast and at between 35% to 25% it shuts suddenly (crashing) and swithes off.


AND DO NOT START UNTILL CONNECTED TO CHARGER.


when connected to charger it agian shows battery percentage at which it switched off. it happens many times, but between 35% to 25% of battery.


i would say if not software than battery of iphone 6 is very very bad. In less than two years its condition is so bad.


this is certainly not in line with earlier iphone models.


i given a direct feedback too but in vain.
