iOS 10.1 Battery drain

Hello.

Updated my iPhone 5 to iOS10.1 and have been having battery problems.

1 - It jumps from 30% charge to 1% in a few seconds then shuts down.

Now here is the stranger part.

As soon as it reboots after connecting to a charger it show 30% charge. When I unplug it right away it still shows 30% and runs like nothing happened for a good few hours.

So it goes from zero charge to 30% in the time it takes to reboot? Strange.

2 - Shutting the phone down at night with a good 80% charge, it won't reboot in the morning due to no battery charge. I plug it in and its back to 30% in a few seconds.

Thanks for any suggestion in advance.

iPhone 5, iOS 10.1

Hello genya,

Yes, it was batteries all along. New batteries resolved the issues. iOS 10 only hid it. Myself and a few other Apple customers worked hundreds of hours to bring this in the open with proof. You likely read some articles I contributed to. Key in this process was 'proof.' Some of us had no coding science but enough electrical knowledge and studies to identify the battery as the only possible culprit. Hopefully when you left the forum a year ago you went and changed the battery, not the phone. Some geniuses knew, some did not. Either case, in the end, Sr Apple management made the decision we wished for: full admission and a solution. My preferred solution is a new tech, solid state batteries, will see about that.

First thing Apple need to do is admit they have an issue. They then need to fix the issue and reimburse those who had to get it fixed themselves.

It does feel like bad luck. You have hundred plus pages to read about those whom had a phone replacement, no issues. Compared to them, it does not feel the same, nor is it.

Yet those cycles didn't seem to matter before the OS upgrade...

maybe an authorized center nearby you, usually google maps them, can help you. Several users resolved it via them.

"thank you for the acid answer, I mean it haha" Did you notice the very nice solution i suggested you but was deleted for not meeting guidelines? so much for trying polite friendliness..

Replaced my battery last Saturday. I haven't had anymore issues. I did not let Apple replace it. Found a phone repair retailer.

Congrats, you are the fourteenth or so successful battery swap without issues. Hope it holds.

Thanks for this tip, I had no idea about the battery recall, turns out my phone is one of the affected ones.

iOS 10.2.1 just got released, going to upgrading with 100% battery to see if it solves my issue. If it makes it worse or isn't any different, I'll be downgrading back to 10.2.

I've just updated, but my battery is full, I guess it will take a few hours until I can say for sure if it worked
