I suspect this is a hardware (firmware) issue, I've had it, along with numerous other people and a replacement followed by an iCloud backup has always fixed the problem.
It's not normal battery drain, nothing could cause the battery to jump from 30% to 0% instantly. It wouldn't explain the percentage jumps when plugging back in, or how usage in the cold causes shutoff when under 50%.
I fear Apple knows there is a defect in millions of 6/6s devices and they are hoping they can ride it out though natural phone attrition.
- batguano 10y agoI have same problem with iPhone 7 and iOS 10.1.1 Just started yesterday. My phone gets hot (not Samsung fire hot, but pretty warm) when the battery level is plunging, which suggests that something is actually chewing up wattage. At least in my case.
- robmcm 10y agoI have no doubt there are battery issues that can be software (I remember IMAP issues back in the iOS4 days), but I think there is clearly a distinction between software bug battery drain issues (hot phone, slow consistent drop in charge) and this sudden shut down issue, battery percentage jumping by 10%/20% up and down when connected to a charger.
- sammoth 10y agoI've had this problem with a 5 for years now, as has a friend. Especially in the cold, the phone will shut off very quickly. I thought it was just due to the inevitable wearing out of the battery.
