Anyone else having serious issues with their battery since upgrading to iOS 10? Mine is lasting a few hours and turning off at between 25 and 49%

I've rebooted, closed everything, checked settings. Any other suggestions apart from the Genius Bar?

If the phone line over a year old, might be best to just get the battery replaced. It shouldn't really be affected by the os upgrade.

iphone batteries tend to die out rather fast but I pretty cheap to get the batteries replaced.

Yes I usually charge over night and a full charge lasts 24 hours depending on use. But since the new iOS fully charged Lasts me 12 hours maybe here or there.

I also find the home button when unlocking is being a dick although i got the print recognition I'm having to put the password in.

Seems like there might be an issue with ios10 after all.

My guess is that it's probably optimised for t hardware of the iPhone 7 and has some isues when run on older models.

YES!

have you also noticed that it sticks at 100% for maaaaaany hours before dropping?!

Advice to fix: cycle and calibrate the battery display. How to: run battery right down until phone powers down. fully charge with official charger, charge for another hour or so after reaching 100% to ensure it's full. Repeat! Avoid partial charges if possible!

BTW if your phone is less than 1 year old they will fix it/replace it at the genius bar. If it's more than 1 year, a new battery is £70.

I don't like to get alllll conspiracy theory about it, but mine started doing this the week that the iphone 7 came out, even without me updating the iOS!

On a related note - any of you having charging problems also use an integrated USB wall socket? I'm giving mine the side-eye after my ipod wouldn't charge properly after using the wall charger ONCE.

Check your app refresh rate and other background apps running, having a quick read of it it looks like the update changes the defaults on certain apps like inbuilt fitness ones and starts them running in the background

Installed and used tones of these, not had a problem so far, are you sure it's the wall socket and not the cable ? From personal experience I know that if the cables on its way out that can screw your charging up completely.

Mine's OK at the mo, touch wood (ooo errr missus)!

What do you have?

I did have terrible problems with the 5s last year though. Did an upgrade and had terrible battery power after - I could watch the percentage tick down.

I spent endless hours trying all the battery saving techniques going listed online. I went back to the Apple store three times, I factory reset the phone so it was wiped and "as new" and I bought a new battery and it still bloody did it

I could find loads of people moaning about it online. It's almost as if a little bomb was planted in some people's phones.

Sorry to not offer a solution.

Fingerprint recognition should negate having to put the code in as well

Apple build in what is known as planned obsolessence -in other words the updates are designed for the newest models , any updates used on older devices will make them work harder /slower thus making the user determine that a handset upgrade will be better . Like it or not thats pretty smart marketing huh? (Oh and btw Iam an iphone user before anyone thinks iam apple bashing)

I've just updated mine so I'm just seeing what the new extras are, any good ones?

Battery wise, doesnt cut out but does run down quicker.

For me the HomeKit helps I can switch off the lights easier

Also I like that now on the flash light you can put it to light or dim

Other than that no real changes

Ooh there's lots ...

Look on the tips app for better list but my faves are interactive emojis and if I press the home button 3 times my phone turns into a magnifier ..which is great for me as I have to do a lot of close up stuff with my studies ATM

Similar issue was discussed on another thread, iOS10 doesn't always run well on older 4's 5's maybe 6's too. I have not installed it on my 5S. One possible reason for battery draining is the phone having to work harder to keep up.

I just seems random though.

I know people who are still using the 5s with way newer IOS versions than I was using and having no problems.

My had a factory reset and new battery and still drained super-quick.

If I didn't touch it all day it would go from 100% at 8am to 5% at 6pm. Nothing was running and there were no apps on it - it was "as new"

I just think Apple puts a little "bomb" in some of them.

One theory is that Apple use two different battery suppliers and only one type has the issues.

My iPhone 5 s is 3 weeks old as my other one was stolen. I did the upgrade and it literally may as well be a landline fir the amount of time I have to plug it in to charge!! I have now resorted to taking a charger in the car so I can plug in when ever needed!

Yep... same here ... same problems as everyone else are having .. the % charge level seems to jump all over the place too... I'm sure it's apples way of getting everyone to keep upgrading to newest model... crafty, clever feckers...
