iOS 10 Battery Bug

[ZZ Bottom]

OMG my 6s has shut between 20-40% so many times since iOS 10. I actually just gave up and ordered a third party replacement battery that I haven't installed yet.

Not acceptable for Apple to screw up such basic functionality on such an expensive device.

I've been so disslusioned that I'm seriously contemplating switching platforms.

Apple has issued a FREE battery replacement for the 6s for certain s/n. You should look into that 1st! There is a list of S/N in the below thread.

I will be getting the battery changed out tomorrow, but I've heard it doesn't fix the issue. I think it's a software glitch as mine didn't start having problems until ios 10.

How about the 5s? Do they change the battery too?

They probably can, be it wouldn't be under that replacement program for the 6s.

Yes, they change the batteries of 3GS too, c'mon...

They screwed up software and some parts are having big problems - it will not solve all the problems...

Wow big thanks! I'd much rather have an OEM replacement!

Ever since the IOS 10, my 5s shuts off even when its still on the 40-49%. I always have to charge the battery full before it reaches down to 60%. Sigh.

I had my 6S battery replaced by Apple yesterday as part of the replacement program. The new battery just died with 5% battery remaining. Seems it must be a software thing. I'm going to try to do a full cycle and see what happens.

I don't get shut downs at that range, but what I do get in iOS 10 are false battery level reporting. For example I'll use it a moderate amount with 1/3 screen brightness and only a few apps with background refresh permissions and push mail off. I will lose the first 50% battery much sooner than in the past. Then suddenly get low battery warning. When I plug it in, it immediately shows 60%+ battery level.

I've also had situations where I've sat at under 10% battery for hours.

I hope it's a iOS bug in terms of reading the battery level rather than either a faulty battery or other hardware issues.
