iOS 10.1 Battery drain

I have the same behavior with an iPhone 6. Battery drops from 50% to critical and powers off. When I plug into power and it powers back up in seconds, it will show my battery is plenty charged! We need a fix ASAP

same - sometimes it starts as high as 65% and in seconds goes off. totally unreliable. thinking to switch to another manufacturer

upload on youtube mate and paste the link here

still no reply from ******* apple

here is my usage **** apple

Update: the new battery from Batteries+Bulbs is working well, with accurate battery life reporting and my iPhone is now lasting nearly as long as it used to when it was new. I'd rather spend $50 and prolong the life of my phone another year, than drop another $800 on a new phone. I would have liked to have gotten more life from the original battery, but I still love the phone.

I replaced my battery yesterday at a cost of $87 and it DID NOT fix the problem.

I am afraid but according to official information Apple will include diagnostics on 10.2 in order to fix the issue at a later stage.

Apple has no clue of what's happening.

And this is probably the longest thread in the recent history of Apple Forum.

But I guess for each of us there are 10 not even joining the forum.

I couldn't agree more. At work there's dozens of folks with iPhones not to mention the employees with company issued iPhones. I've asked several if they are experiencing strange battery issues. Most have said yes and either they replaced their phone with a newer iPhone model, android or just tried to live with it NONE of them knew about this forum or that there's a known problem.

I am sorry folks, I am on my last warning with Apple so I cannot post any controversial comments on here.

In the most famous and momentous advert for Apple, which suggested we break away from Big Brother in the 1984 Superbowl advert, Apple appear to have become Big Brother in 2016.

Hi Adrian (losdelrock),

Right, so, Dominic1607, assuming your $87 battery replacement was done by Apple themselves, you now go back to them and you say: "well, one day later, my brand-new battery still lasts less than one hour (or whatever it is) so therefore, please, 1. refund my $87, and 2. I still have a problem – how are you fixing it?"

May I also add to the censors of this forum that the only reason I suggested what I did on the post you deleted is that Apple is completely ignoring the plight of it's customers.

Many of them have been with you for decades, like myself.

My suggestion was in order to elicit a response from Apple.

I have spent many hours of my time attempting to contact Apple via various means to find a way forward and I have had nothing.

I am lucky in that my phone is getting it's battery replaced free of charge but it is not the battery, it is IOS 10.

What about my wife on a 6, my daughter on a 5 who are all experiencing battery drain on IOS 10 and will no doubt need their battery replaced sooner rather than later?

My business partner has already moved to a OnePlus 3 handset because of it. How many more customers do you want to lose?

I am close.

All we want is honesty, clarity and a way forward.

Adrian.

I contacted Apple Support and was transferred to Customer Relations. Before we could start a conversation, they hung up on me.

There would be more replies if Apple didn't remove them, my post included. For the record, iPhone 6 running 10.1.1. Battery dying, phone shutting off randomly going from 53% to 1% to off. Genius Bar attendant suggests it's the way the phone is

used, or the apps like one that rhymes with "Placetook" that "is really bad at draining the battery" (I.e. Operator Error), not the battery, iOS.

Just had it again. Just shutdown without warning. Plugged into charger, it booted up, and was at 87% battery What the heck. I turned off a lot of iCloud services, too. Had no affect. This is so frustrating!
