Q: 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

    Hi paulfromg, that is great news. Please help me out here. I assumed you did a full backup on iTunes, them reset your phone to as new, then restored the backup from itunes, the same Backup before reset and not any earlier. Are you sure that has sorted all the issues? Thank you.

    I am very disappointed with Apple. I have been an Apple consumer all my life and I am starting to considering to stop using their products. Since iOS 8 they are forcing us to update with their daily dammned notifications. So we do it because we just want they stop to disturb us, and then the phone doesn't work anymore.

     

    I am having serios overheating problem since I updated it. Also the phone always runs slower with a new update. Whyare we forced to update our Phones if our devices doesn't work better with the update? This is something that should be sued.

    I agree with you fanaticguitars

    only I am not giving it up, but ...

    what I figure out is, they are providing new iOS versions, the same with macOS, they anouced as compatible, as better, as wonderfull ... , but in fact they are damaging the performance of our actual hardware. One decision I did for myself, is that NO MORE iOS updates, you stick yourself with the OS that was sold with your equipment and you are 100% satisfied and happy. usually I change my iPhone every 2-3 years and the difference of the new iOS during this period of time does not justify the problems.

     

    this battery problem, I had lived with it with my old 5s from iOS8 to iOS9, and now the same with my 6s with the iOS9 to iOS10.

     

    to make this battery issue arriving the hears of the Apple Engineers, we have 2 possibilities, or we go to a Genius Bar and present it and probably we are not able to demonstrate it and come back with nothing in hands, or install the Public Beta version, currently is the 10.1 Beta 3, which runs without bugs and gives us the oppurtunity to report back to Apple whatever is not running well.

     

    I installed the Beta version since the version 1, and the battery issue I would say is parcially solved. no more over heating, and the battery lasts more than 24h, which is my goal. nevertheless is not 100% ok, for example during my sleep with the phone off the battery drains 12% out, or it turns off with the battery 50% full and then goes again alive without additional charging, the progression of the % is not even. But at least I have it reported back to Apple also with photos and videos and hopfully more guys all over the world are doing the same, so that the issue can be on the Apple Enginners priority list to be take care.

    I am having the same problem. never ever had overheating issue until I updated to the OS 10. I am running the 10.0.2. I waited at first because I knew the first release will have issues. But now I regret it. wish I waited longer. If anyone find a fix that would be great. I tried switching the phone off and on again, did the reset couple times and still no luck.

    Thanks KhalDrogo :-)

     

    I tried the (Reset Network Settings ) and the rapid battery discharge that I and many others were experiencing has disappeared.

     

    STEP 1

    Tap the "Settings" icon on your home screen.

    STEP 2

    Select "General" from the Settings page.

    STEP 3

    Scroll to bottom of the General menu. Tap the "Reset" tab. The Reset screen opens.

    STEP 4

    Select the "Reset Network Settings" button. A warning message appears. Tap the "Reset Network Settings" button of the warning prompt to execute the reset. Tap the "Cancel" button to abandon the reset and return to the Reset screen.

     

    Reset Network Settings solved the battery drain.

    Resetting of the Network Settings seems to be a solution for some folks. But this to many others, like me, did not help at all.  I also reset my network settings  about 10 days ago and I first thought everything is OK.  But after a while I noticed that it is still not OK especially when you have some internet traffic.  I have this  issue on both my iPhone 6s and my iPhone 6 whereas the iPhone 6 runs  on iOS 10.1 beta 3 (and the 6s on 10.02).  Also the sometimes weird  jumps of the battery percentage number  is there on both phones.  And the iPhone 6 I have even reset as a new phone (so everything from scratch) whereas the iPhone 6s became the network resetting treatment.  Everything after  a couple of days of observation without any success.

    the Network reset is a good solution, but unfortunatly not universal for all the cases, it worked perfectly in my 6s.

     

    I think that there is 2 sides that have to work hard on this issue, one side the most important is Apple, there is inconstency on the draining process, the battery does not drain evently from 100% to 0%. the other side is all the other millions of developers, here is missing an interface between Apple and them, what are for each App or phone provider company the needs for the battery resources? Is Apple giving them a input on that, are the Dev. requesting this information before submitting their Apps for approval?

     

    For me would be a simple I/O signal that can be controlled by Apple when they have to release an App, and that would be a chanlange for the Dev. to keep their Apps "green" on low battery consumption. But I suppose that Apple is more interested in selling new products than creating ways to keep "old" products alive

    Thanks for the solution. It works for me. Now my battery is not draining fast and no overheating. In 5 hours I have used only 55% of my battery on normal use like before.

    Do not proceed for networking reset, just open the pop up menu and cancel.

    Some people who have tried  the "network reset"  have continued to have inconsistent battery drain or rapid battery drainage problems after having upgraded to ios 10.0.1 and 10.0.2

     

    Just to clarify.... I did a network reset yesterday and so far I have yet to have issues with rapid battery depletion like I previously experienced.  Here are the steps that helped me.


    STEP 1

    Tap the "Settings" icon on your home screen.

    STEP 2

    Select "General" from the Settings page.

    STEP 3

    Scroll to bottom of the General menu. Tap the "Reset" tab. The Reset screen opens.

    STEP 4

    Select the "Reset Network Settings" button. A warning message appears. Tap the "Reset Network Settings" button of the warning prompt to execute the reset.

    (I'm using an iphone 6s 64GB)

    I hope this fix will help some people.

    More importantly I hope that Apple will address this serious bug that has affected many users when they upgraded to ios 10.0.1 or later.

    Did a total reset of iPad. Did not help. Battery just drained 10% in 30 minutes, with nothing but Safari (no video/sound) and Home Screen.

     

    Apple, if you want to force your customers to update their operating system, it is your **** responsibility to make sure the updates don't screw with the basic functionality of the devices.

     

     

    This is not some radical request by your users. If you took your car to the mechanic because he kept recommending it, and wouldn't stop bugging you about having an overhaul, and, driving home, you find yourself out of gas half the way, the wheels falling off the car; and then your discover the reason is he installed all kinds of untested crap that you never asked for, you'd be slightly disillusioned too.

     

     

    (Bonus bug: As I'm writing this, pressing any arrow key forces scrolldown to bottom of screen.)
