Interesting. Thought I'd check it out. Guess what I'm already on 56%. By the time 60% comes round again I'll have forgotten about this thread.
 
I just checked. My phone was at 61% so I was like "My chance to see for myself!!!" I turned up the brightness turned on the flash light and opened google earth. Then I watched and wait...

DUN DUN DUN

There is no such thing as 60% anymore. 😱

Now OP... If we don't get all OCD about battery percentage we'll never notice there is not 60%.
 
Total coincidence im on 61% now!!

Will report back in a min!

It seemed to stay on 61% for ages but it did drop straight to 59%!

How strange!
 
Has anybody realize that when you reach 61% percent battery, it drops directly to 59%? It happnes in my 6+ and my air 2. No 60%...
Same when you charge it. From 59 to 61...

A lot of users in other forums are in the same issue.

This is why I love MR Forums.

A sanctuary where we feed our insatiable appetite for ALL this Apple 😎
 
This happened to me today I was reading twitter and noticed my battery jumped from 61 to 59 in a second. Was thinking about doing a restore but after reading everyone who has the same problem it's probably just an iOS8 bug.
 
Turning off the battery percentage indicator is the single best thing you can do when it comes to battery.

Not really. It's quite useful in many situations especially when you are under 20% or 10%, or to faster catch something potentially running the background or something else similar happening that is using up the battery that much faster than normal. One of the best things is to not pay attention to any little change in it, but simply turning it off doesn't do much in itself.
 
Could it be that Apple changed the way battery percentage is shown/calculated in the code?

When I'm charging my iPhone 5, I've noticed that it updates the battery percentage a second after the screen has been turned on. This never happened before iOS8.

Or maybe it's Apple's planned obsolescence that's killing my iPhone 5...

Wrong. It happens on iOS7 too.

Noticing a 2% drop instead of a 1% is a little OCD, don't you think ?
