iOS 10.1 Battery drain

For us the problem shows up in our house at 65 degrees. Phone lasts for 10-12 minutes starting at about 100% having been on the charger the entire time. It can shutoff spontaneously at any point. It is in the teens outside, but we have not really tested it outside since the phone shuts off so quickly. We did take it on a walk before a couple of times before we realized what the problem was. It shut off in 10-12 minutes outside as well. Basically the phone has become nearly unusable unless it remains plugged in.

Ridiculously annoying since the phone worked fine until we updated it.

I finally decided to try the Beta release to see if that helped.

10.2 beta 7 does nothing to fix the problem.

It actually seemed to make it worse.

New version does no

I have beein skiing in the Alps. We had temperatures from 0 to 10 degrees celsius. And in the last days

i was outside it had maybe minus 5 degrees..

FYI - I called into support about this today. They basically said this issue is NOTa known problem on iphone 6 (only 6s), but they are getting lots of calls. Hardware on my phone is no longer under warranty, but they suggested replacing battery depending on what diagnostic said. I argued that the battery was fine until the upgrade and it seems unlikely it would go bad at that exact time. Tech agreed. Diagnostic said my battery and hardware is FINE. Next step is wipe out and restore. I'm not holding out much hope that will fix as many of you have already tried that. It is also a big chunk of time to spend for something that likely won't offer results.

This is a bummer, but if the answer ultimately is replacing the phone, I am sad to say I may be dropping Apple after being loyal since the 3g. A phone is useless to me if it randomly turns into a brick when it supposedly has a charge.

I have the problem in a warm environment, it's not the temperature. I have heard of 3 other friends aside from myself, not on this forum, with the same issue.

I am having a similar problem on my iPhone 6 Plus. Today the phone shut off (not sleep), and after I plugged it in, the battery meter showed 30%. I have had lots of battery related issues since updating to IOS 10, and did not have these pro1-2 minutes. However, after reaching 1%, the phone would still operate for several minutes. Lately however, the phone seems to shut off with insufficient battery at various levels, without going down to 1%. It has shut off at 24% last week, 13% yesterday, and today 30%. I tend to charge my phone every night, so I don't run into this problem every day.

I do not use this iPhone outdoors much, so temperature is usually around 70-80 degrees.

I have the same thing on my iPhone 6 and my iPad Air after updating to 10.1.1. Battery life is fine on both devices. Drain fro 100% to 30% in about an hour of light browsing, mail. All battery saving tips have been applied to no avail. Nice to know I'm not alone in this but the unreliability is distressing.

This has been hapo being to me since the weather turned cold. At first around 5-7% then after a month around 26-29 and today at 37%. I am extremely disappointed, and Apple support will not help as its a 6s plus

I have an iPhone 6 and have been encountering the same issues as others - rapid battery drain regardless of how many apps are open and pre-mature shut off. Are people downloading the new update or waiting in fear it will make it worse?

Anyone download it already and have insight?

Iphone 6 user... waited a week to get a "genius" appointment and had to go all the way to Bondi for it from Campbelltown. Got there and didnt even ask me if i had wiped it and restored from back up. Just went ahead and wiped it told me to go home and restore it from the last backup. so was without my phone for nearly 5 hours all up (phone turned on but no contacts/ info on it as it was like brand new settings) got home and it took 3 hours to restore my backup. Charged my phone up before i went to bed and when i woke up i had 45 % left? and then on the train to work it shut down after listening to music for about 10 mins. Wont turn on unless plugged in to charge. Luckily ive taken to carrying around a portable battery with me so i turn it back on... trying to make about appointment with a 'genius' and cant even find the option anymore on the apple website. This isnt good enough my phone is warm all the time now too and it neber used to do that. i was told by the genius that it may have something to do with Snapchat but seriously its your product apple... fix it dont blame others.

And what do i do now? pay for a new battery when it will probably happen again? i own the phone outright and its not under warranty. Its in perfect condition other than this so i dont want to have to fork out $1000+ for a new handset.

I had the exact same problem start immediately after updating a couple of weeks ago. I've tried using low-battery mode (sucky option #1), decreasing the brightness (sucky option #2), closing apps (sucky option #3) and a reset (sucky option #4). Nothing helps. This is the second time I've had a serious issue with an iPhone 6 update. I didn't want to do it, but I go tired of my phone asking me EVERY NIGHT to update. When is Apple going to admit there's a problem and fix it? Forty-five pages of feedback should be enough to prove we're not making this up.

Follow up - Called Apple support. iPhone 6+, 10.2 (which the support person questioned as "why is that even out there") - Diagnostics on Battery (all good) and Mobile/apps (all good) - no record of any of the shutdowns. Requested that I reset - explained that I had already reset (to new, not to a backup) which led to a "Sounds like a hardware issue" comment. It's logged with apple, but no action available at this time.

Shutdown occurs at random battery level, randomly. Plugging in or waiting 5-10 minutes and restarting brings it back online at "expected" power level.

Oddly - last shutdown was at 44% - when it restarted - it stated at 44% for 5 hours. ???

I have also been to the Apple store with this problem on iPhone 6. Same thing everything OK. But it is not OK. Class action necessary if they will not recognize that this is their issue. Take some ownership Apple! Make a statement, thesd are/ were loyal customers!

Me too. Upgraded my iPhone 6 from 9.0.1 to 9.3.3 and immediately started having this exact battery drain issue. Nothing has fixed it so far, and I've tried so many things. I see people still have he issue with 10.1.1 so I haven't upgraded to that yet.

Looks like they might have quietly fixed it in 10.2 and never let users know about it. Way to go apple. I've still not verified this though.
