iOS 10.1 Battery drain

no, the cable has nothing to do with this issue: I always only used the original one 😉

Hi,

I just want to explain everyone that it worked for me (and I had the issue for more than 3 month).

I've not seen yet any comment in this discussion regarding people who replaced the battery and who are complaining that the issue is still there.

So I just want to help, it worked for me, and I want to be helfpul as i know how frustrating is this battery issue.

You're free to try or not.

Its the iOS unable calculate battery charge accurately. I downgraded to 10.1 and have a different reading. It showed a good reading where with 10.2 it was bad.

Bad news. Apple stopped signing 10.1 and 10.1.1. Now once you have upgraded you cannot downgrade. Guess Apple is really forcing us to switch to Android.

With no solution insight and you cannot even roll back to a more stable ios version. Apple! Tim! Jonny! What the Fish have you turned the ios into??????

I recently upgraded (through Sprint) my 2 year old iPhone 6 64gb to an iPhone 6s Plus 128gb, with the intention of giving the 6 to my teenage son for his first cellphone.

As I wrote before, I have experienced the accelerated battery drain on the 6, which is running 10.2. Some of the issues has been lessened by using "low power mode" and not using bluetooth. But the issue persists and I hope my son's phone will eventually work optimally with a software fix (or free battery replacement).

The 6s plus came shipped with 10.1.1. This must mean it had a more recent manufacture date? I was hoping for iOs 9.3, or at least 10.0. Nevertheless, I have NOT had any battery issues yet. Could it have one of the newer batteries? Beats me.

I refuse to update to 10.2, though. I am monitoring the battery status through the battery life app. Though I hope it won't, if the 6s Plus deteriorates as well, I will be sure to post an update.

I have the same issue on my iPhone 6.

I called, chatted and went to Apple Store. But they claim I need to pay for a new battery despite my clearly explaining that battery issue only occurred the moment after installing iOS 10.

So I tried to post my woes on apples discussion last week. On 12/16/16, I got an email from apple that said this:

"We removed your post "

iPhone 6 battery drain/shutdown after iOS 10 install" because it contained a poll or a petition. We understand wanting to share experiences, but these forums are meant for technical questions that can be answered by the community."

Looks to me like apple is trying to hide something. I believe they are trying to kill all of our phones and force us to buy new phones....

I've tried all the usual suspects to "fix" my phone....restart, hard restart, restore, and now my latest....installing iOS 10.2.

Now I can watch my battery drain WHILE it is plugged inton charger...

To be clear, I am NOT polling...Any help fixing would be appreciated!

same here with the problems. iPhone 6s Plus and when it gets down to about 20%, it just shuts off and when I plug it back in it still says it is at 20ish %. Even had apple check in last week and they said it was fine. They were wrong!

Hello,

iPhone 6 64GB iOS 10.2

I did the following test:

Using iPhone until battery goes down to 30%

At 30% shuts down (expected :-D)

Trying to turn it on but it requests to be plugged and charged

Performed hard reset while is off

iPhone starts with 23% battery!!! (Did not expect that)

Now I'm using it until it dies completely to perform battery calibration, but it works!!!

I will analyze the error log in case there is some hints.

There is definitely something wrong with iOS can't explain such behavior and I hope we get a fix soon.

I will keep you posted with any other findings.

Georgios, i'm experiencing very similar issues with my 6 Plus

iPhone 6 Plus 64GB iOS 10.0.2

Usually shuts down around 30% when using GPS based Apps (ie Maps, Pokemon Go, etc). It seems that the phone/battery is more stable when using talk, text, and regular data (safari). It will maintain a phone conversation way below the 30% threshold, but Pokemon Go forget about it you are a goner at 30% 😟

As Georgios mentioned I was able to do a hard restart once, where the phone died around the 30% mark, and called for the charger to be plug in, tried hard restart and it came back to life with 18%. At the point when it came back with 18% I stopped playing Pokemon GO 🙂, but was still able to go into my Onstar app and use the remote start function to start the car. The phone stayed on until i reached the car where I had a charger. But the hard restart only worked once, so cross your fingers when trying it the phone may come back up. To me it seems the problem is related to something with GPS functionality, but that's just me.

Hope this helps someone.

I had all the same systems expressed in these many pages. I was fortunate enough to be on the 6s battery replacement list. My battery was replaced 7 full days ago. I am running 1.5-2 days per charge again- like I did when the phone was new. I have had no further instance of sudden shutdown since the battery was replaced. Not sure which cases will be solved by battery replacement- but it appears mine was one that was solved.

How did you downgrade? I asked and they said they could not downgrade.

No longer possible. Apple stopped signing iOS 10.1 & 10.1.1

So, I replaced the battery. Still see some erratic battery life. Spoke to a senior advisor for the 2nd time and he did not have anything to offer, other than getting a out of warranty replacement phone for 299$ Sigh... I am not ready to spend another 300$. Mine is an iphone 6 64gb. Wonder if they would offer an upgrade to iphone 7 for a little more. Still a lot of money to throw out.

Even with Apple Care they don't want to replace my defunct 6s+ with all of these people here paying out of pocket for batteries or out of warranty replacements it's no wonder why these creeps have more money than some entire countries.

Tonight mine got down to 16% before it crashed instead of the 20ish % the past 2 n
