    Hi daniek16,

    I understand that after updating to iOS 10, your battery is not performing as well as you'd expect. I know it's important to have power when you need it, so I'm happy to help.

    To start, you can get a better understanding of what is using your battery with the information in this article:

    About the battery usage on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

    Once you have learned more about your battery usage, you can use the tips here to optimize your performance:

    To address your concern about the device getting warm, take a look at the following information:

    Your device might get warm

    When you use the device or charge the battery, the device might get warm. You might notice that your device feels warmer in these situations:

    • When you set up your device the first time
    • When you restore from a backup
    • When apps reindex or reanalyze data, like Photos tagging for faces, places, or keywords after a software update

    These conditions are normal, and your device will return to a regular temperature when complete.

    Here are some of the higher ambient-temperature conditions and activities that might cause the device to change performance and behavior:

    • Leaving the device in a car on a hot day.
    • Leaving the device in direct sunlight for an extended period of time.
    • Using certain features in hot conditions or direct sunlight for an extended period of time, such as GPS tracking or navigation in a car, or playing a graphics-intensive game.
