I’m not so sure anymore - I have a 3.5 year old iPhone 6s, and replaced the battery with a brand new on from the Apple store not 6 months ago - already, the new battery is worse than the old one a year into the phones life. Random shut offs at 10% and not getting through a day are regular occurances, something that didn’t happen at all the first 2 years

What is the battery health percentage?
- taurath 8y ago
  91% now.

Do you have the "performance management" feature disabled? (aka cpu throttling for battery issues) A few years ago this was always-on, If you disabled it now, this would be a difference to your first battery experience. (just a guess though, I don't have an iPhone)

  It turned itself on because the battery “couldn’t deliver peak power” and shut off at 12%

If that's true Apple should replace it for you. Check the battery percentage. I've anecdotally heard if it's draining unusually fast they'll replace it free of charge.

  I will add another anecdotal hearing to this, because they did in fact replace an iPhone free of charge for me a few years ago when the battery was draining too fast. (And also a MacBook Pro battery, back in the dim forgotten era when such things were user-replaceable.)

  They didn’t for me when the first one was having trouble - I had to use the $29 replacement offer after a lawsuit to get this one. Am not thinking a replacement will actually improve it.

    I got a free iPhone 6s battery replacement. Check your serial number here https://www.apple.com/support/iphone6s-unexpectedshutdown/ https://www.apple.com/support/iphone6s-unexpectedshutdown/

That sounds more like there's another hardware issue with your phone than it sounds like a systemic issue with Apple.

I'm having the same exact experience. I'm considering heading to the Apple store and asking for a fresh battery replacement. I don't want to give up my headphone jack.

  iPhone 6s Plus here - I don’t want to give up the button, Touch ID, force touch, or the headphone jack. Edit: added force touch

    Force touch works on the latest iPhones, except for the XR

  You may be eligable for a free battery replacement - there is a known issue with some 6S batteries: https://www.apple.com/support/iphone6s-unexpectedshutdown/ https://www.apple.com/support/iphone6s-unexpectedshutdown/

I'd say that you have a faulty battery. The iPhone 6s doesn't have the best battery life, but you should get at least one year of heavy usage before any noticeable degradation and 2 years of normal usage.

I had the same problem. The iPhone later even randomly shut off a few weeks afterwards because the battery started to curve. I went to the Apple store and got a brand new one for the cost of the reduced battery replacement. It‘s apparently a known problem for the S6 to Apple
