IPhone 6 battery issue

Check settings of all of the apps. After updates it seems some are turned on again.

Make sure he has quit apps not just gone onto another app (press home button twice, then swipe up on each one that is open). My gf was having trouble. She seriously had 30 apps that had been open forever! She didn't realize that going on to another app didn't quit the first one.

Check the notification window. Swipe down and tap clear for each that appear.

Have him do a hard reset. He won't lose anything. Do this after the above has been done. Hold down the power button and home button until the apple icon appears. Once it appears let go and wait.

OH yes, the charger could be an issue. Make sure you get one with the correct voltage for the phone!

Yes. Ever since the last update.

I think Apple has a problem on their hands that they aren't willing to acknowledge. I had this same problem after the iOS 10 update. Did all the things you're advised to (checked settings, powered down, restore, etc), but nothing helped and the problem kept getting progressively worse. It got to the point where if I got a phone call or checked voicemail, then shortly afterward the phone would show a drastically low battery and shut down (even if it had been fully charged prior to the call).

I took it to the Apple store where they ran diagnostics and said the battery was failing and it would cost $80 to replace it. I argued that I wasn't having problems prior to the iOS update, even spoke with a manager, but got nowhere. They said it was within the allowance for expected battery life. The phone is a year and a half old!!! I expect more than a year and a half's usage out of something I paid $800 for!!! Since the $80 charge was cheaper than the insurance deductible on the phone, I paid to have the battery replaced.

But now I feel as though I cannot trust Apple any more. I was willing to pay a premium price for the phone based on the stellar customer service I have received from Apple in the past, but now I know that I am no longer valued as a customer.

I hope that you all have a better experience with Apple getting this resolved than I did.

yep, with the last update. I took it to a repair place and had them install a new battery. $50 bucks. The next week the phone got stuck in reboot mode. after 2 hours in the apple store they said it's the battery and b/c I had a third party replace it they weren't liable. Went back to third party and they fixed it for free (under warranty).

All this to say, I'd try replacing the battery. Find an authorized apple repair place and you should pay around 50 bucks. Apple will do it for 80.

Interesting thread. My dd is having similar issues with her 6s. She said it shutoff at 26% yesterday. She always updates the latest release. I have a 6+'but I didn't update however my charge didn't last the usual 2 days recently so I planned to monitor that.

DH's does this.

I haven't done the latest update and my battery has been losing a charge very quickly lately. It's dropped 13% in the last 30 minutes and I am at home on wifi just reading TwoPeas.

I'm not over impressed with the OEM Apple chargers either.

I have a new iPod on order for my 9yr old grandson for Christmas. He likes a longer charging cord, so I bought a set from Costco the other day.

The set includes 2 - 6' Apple MFi certified high performance mesh Lightning Cables, 2 USB Wall Chargers and High Speed Car Charger. Two devices can be charged at once. They travel for hockey and between mom, dad and the kid, they have 6 Apple devices. I'm hoping this package works well for them.
