Iphone bugs and issue

Is your iPhone battery draining superfast or switching off early? Well, you're not alone.

Two serious problems are destroying iPhone battery life.

First, a problem with some batteries in the iPhone 6s is making them switch off despite supposedly having plenty of battery left.

And a bug in a recent iOS 10 update is also making iPhone batteries empty much faster than normal.

Apple has actually acknowledged the problem with iPhone 6s batteries. The company claims it affects only handsets sold from September 2015 to October 2015 (when the device first launched) and is offering free battery replacements to people who bought iPhones in that time frame. Affected users are seeing their phone switch off at random, even when the battery meter indicates plenty of charge.

It's unclear exactly how many people are affected — Apple says it's only a "very small number," though anecdotally it seems to be relatively widespread.

A Chinese government watchdog isn't happy with Apple's response on the issue so far. It claims the issue is also affecting the iPhone 6, the iPhone 6 Plus, and the iPhone 6s Plus, Quartz reports, despite Apple's assertions to the contrary.

An Apple representative could not immediately provide Business Insider with clarification on these claims — and it's unclear whether they relate to the second battery problem that is afflicting iPhone owners.

Apple iOS 10.2 Is Causing New Problems

Sticking to your guns is often seen as a good thing, but sometimes it can do more harm than good. Especially when it means persisting with a mundane process in full knowledge that it will cause new problems…

In short: today Apple stopped signing iOS 10.1 and iOS 10.1.1. What this means is Apple servers will not recognise either update as legitimate anymore so iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users can no longer downgrade to them from iOS 10.2, which Apple released last week. Apple typically stops signing old versions of iOS within a week or two of launching a new version.

And yet persisting with this seemingly simple housekeeping exercise makes no sense whatsoever given the problems iOS 10.2 is exacerbating with the so-called ‘30% battery bug
