Apple stopped signing iOS 9.3.5 even before 10.1 beta 5. The update is for iPhone 7 line of phones likely as it just includes some fixes that are specific to issues those phones have been experiencing, most likely the same ones that were released in iOS 10.0.3.

Hope you are wrong with that cause if you are right then i'm gonna back to Android next year...

Unless you went back to 9.3.5 and stick with it for the time being...
I completely agree with you on that matter. I was just wondering, because at the beginning the battery stats that I had were really impressive. Howevee, yes I shouls really not complain about my stats, I was just wondering what the members opinion were regarding"my stats". Now I face for the 3rdtime another problem. Screen under dust 😀. Anyway, this has nothing to do with this poste! Cheers mate🙂
I do not need to justify myself about using the Facwbook app, however itwas the first time that actually I was using the app on my phone, because I really wanted to test if the "rumor" of the Facebook app being such a battery killer. Amd yes indeed it is!
well the reason for this is basically that I am not constantly on my phone during work or during my studies. But yeah impressive standbye time haha

There's a bug that causes this on iOS 10.
Basically if you change a background refresh setting then go out of the settings menu then return again later all of the apps are now switched on. However if you change a setting then close the settings app from the app switcher afterwards, the next time you go back everything should be exactly as you left it.

I've changed a background refresh settings under iOS 10 without quitting the settings app without having them all turn on before. This is the first time that's happened.
Another day of the iPhone 7 with bad battery life....
Had a chat with a mate who works at Genius Bar. He thinks it's time for a replacement after I visited him last weekend and the phone's still doing crap. Guess where I'm going on Sunday!!!
Hoping this replacement is the fix to all of my problems!!! 🙄

That's not that bad m8,some iPhones even 7/7+ last less on that percentage.
Everything is from the software for me.

Just updated to iOS 10.1 Beta 5. Battery life seems to be good so far. Had my phone next to me on Standby while I slept. Usually I would see a 10-15 percentage drop from 100 from 6 hours of sleep. Today I saw a 2 percent drop. Imma keep testing and keep you guys posted but so far so good.
What that much dropping? What phone do you have and since how long? My standbye rates are that high because usually during night i only loose about 1-2% of battery

It seems to be random when it happens, some people can recreate the bug others can't but the workaround I suggested of closing the settings app with the app switcher after changing any background app refresh settings does prevent it from happening.

I have the iPhone 7 Plus for about 2 weeks. Be mindful that I also sleep with the Sleep Cycle app running in the background to track sleep. I lock my phone so it's technically on Standby but In my first week of using it i lost 2 percent. After than it became 10+ percent. When I upgraded to beta it became 12-15+ percent. So today to see a return is kinda nice.
Comparing it to a iPhone 6 in the same conditions had much better battery. I've tried software and it seems to not be software.

This is Apple Code for "I have no idea what is wrong"... Sad.

How are these battery stats? iPhone 6s 64gb on iOS 10.0.2. I have only been browsing Imgur, Reddit and using safari during the day. None of them are battery intensive so I don't understand why I am getting such a low time. Also I am not in an area with poor data or have location services on for apps. . Thank you for your time.

Well, at least in that screenshot, your cellular signal doesn't seem to be all that good.

I was at home when I posted this. During the day that I used my phone I had a steady 4 bars of 3G.
My phone battery shouldn't last for such a low amount of time despite the signal strength surely?
Well, signal strength is one of the biggest factors that affects battery life. So if you were mostly in an area where the signal was bad, it can certainly take its toll. It doesn't quite sound like that's the case here though, although if you were on 3G that also tends to use more power compared to 4G/LTE.
