Well, I'd like to start by saying this is no post crapping over Apple. I've owned a iPhone since the 3G and the support has been 10/10 amongst all my Apple products except this issue I have here.

My screen suddenly went, there was nothing being displayed but vibration from turning silent on and off was happening. took it to the store all fine and dandy got it fixed in warranty (overnight at the Apple store in Stratford, East London)

The first day of getting my iPhone back my battery had been performing really pathetic. First it started dying around the 28% mark. Input lightning cable apple logo straight away. shot up to 20% on boot - It got worse so I sent it off to Apple (this time via shipment so they had no reason to rush at the techie place for UK whatnot)

2 days later they sent the iPhone back with a letter https://imgur.com/a/eTJsp (forgot to rotate sorry guys lol) however the battery has worsened within a few hours of restoring my backup it died at 49%!


plugged the cable back in and took a video which i've shown Apple. (above)
I'm enrolled to the iOS public beta and my battery performed 100% better before my display got changed

(I really dont know if its really odd how its suddenly happened since my iPhone was repaired*)


2 hours later chatting to support. Recording & sending capture data from my iPhone with the senior adviser - I'm to await a email "directly from an engineer" but I'm just pretty pissed off, I've gone 7 days without any phone. Probably the longest i've gone without communications since I was a kid and a typical PC was the size of a microwave, I have never experienced battery drainage ever either. not with any gadget.

I'm pretty short of just demanding a replacement. I have patience with Apple so I'll wait till I hear more from Apple but what do you guys think I should do if they say nothing is wrong with the diagnostic report I have sent over? Sorry for the messy post cleared it up. Bloody tired here.
