Hi there,
I’ve recently experienced a strange issue with my iPhone 6s Plus. I was playing a not highly specification demanding game (mid range) and after 20min of gameplay my battery decreased from 83% to 73%. I am using iOS 11, and I’m aware of the battery issues the devices have with this iOS version, but I’ve only had this phone for 6 months and I don’t want this phone to have a really bad performing battery after a year.

So what should I do? I mean, I can uninstall the game, I don’t mind. But will this battery problem become worse after a matter of time?

I’ve thought also of changing my phone to an iPhone 7 Plus, because they’re the same price and return it. Is that possible? I’m still in the basic warranty range, but does it cover that change?

Note that even the iP7 is now included in the battery problem. If you must replace, go for the 8. And then NEVER upgrade iOS.
