iOS 10 battery drain / overheating

I Updated my iPhone 6 64gb to iOS 10 yesterday, today with normal low usage my battery (charged every night) has dropped from 100% to 38% in just over 1 hour I've also noticed that in use it is getting very hot something it never did under iOS 9, so apart from the positive of now having a winter pocket hand warmer it will be a useless phone after mid day I hope iOS 10.0.2 comes out quickly to address this issue, a very disappointed Mac user since Mac OS 8.5

It nags numerous times a day to update, often when watching a video (stopping the video). The options are to upgrade, remind me later or do it overnight. There is no option to say no thanks, I want to stay on this version.


How is that not forcing you to upgrade? You either upgrade, or you get constantly pestered to do it until you get fed up with it and do it.

I'm having the same issue since 'upgrading' from my iphone 6 plus to an iphone 7.

I had one incident where my phone got VERY hot and dropped from 80% down to around 20% in less than two hours.

I had to shut it down until I got home.

Now it drops to 60% or less by the time I get home from work every day.

I'm usually not even using the phone.

I want my 6 plus back. That lasted two days and then some...


Fix this Apple!

I have sent messages to Apple support (@AppleSupport) asking about when an update would be available and they have chosen not to reply, not even with a "We are looking into it." They finally responded after close to a week looking for more information to which I just responded.. I don't have an overheating problem, just a quickly draining battery even after turning everything off and keeping it in "Low Power Mode".


It has basically made my phone unusable unless I'm plugged in. The Google Pixel is on my mind but now its just a matter of saving up enough money.

you should read the Terms and Condintions then you know it.

basically they monitor the flow of the blogs, if something is written out of content, then will be kicked it out. but as you may know, they have more than 110 thousand employes all over the world, and the team which monitors the blogs as nothing to do with Customer Satisfaction, nor Software or Hardware development and improvment.


If you want to give yourfeed back to Apple, you have to find the proper channel. For this issue Battery draing and inconsisties on the draing 100%, I adviced before, and I will do it again, install the 10.1 Beta version, they are on the release 4, which gives you the proper chennel (App Feedback) to send your problems to the Apple Engineers.


I am using the Beta versions of the 10.1 since it came public and about minimum 1x week I am reporting battery issues to Apple, whit facts, means you can take pictures of your screens, use the Setting-Battery option information, and also everytime I send a Feedback to them, the last file from your diagnoses will be automatic attached. It is the best way to scream at those guys that develops the Software and Hardware.


in previous posts you can find the instructions how to install a beta version.
