My battery life has been pretty awesome. I've been running iOS 10 since beta and GM has been awesome on my battery thus far. I have a 6s plus. Just my experience.

Nice! Just curious; is your GM version still sending diag logs to Apple, or did you set it to not send?

Battery life terrible here also. Dropped 20% in a little over an hour this morning with barely any usage. It shows messages eating up most of it.

I never send logs to apple. Just something I've always opted out of.

Interesting, thanks. I was wondering if the GM version's battery was due to constant logging/sending. It's anecdotal, but that at least kind of confirms my suspicion.

Do a couple of full charges first. On first day my battery went from 60ish% to zero within 1hr of working out at the gym. I've done two full recharge cycles and now my phone lasts 7hrs usagage and 22hrs stand by.

Does this iMessage battery usage have anything to do with this issue, mine says 50% background usage!

Contacted Apple support and they also notice battery drain on SE (called about other thing). I really hope they make a fast update soon. Problem mostly on WiFi. Cellular data is ok. So something maybe with wifi module or iCloud (keys, backup and others are disabled... )

Battery do not show any background usage of any app I use, checked also settings for it... that's really weird

Absolutely awful on my 6s. I'm currently at 38% with only almost 3 hrs usage. I'm usually around 5hrs usage at this percentage . It is saying my biggest battery drainer is iMessages (background). I've maybe used iMessages twice in 24 hours yet it's draining my battery. Hope there's a fix for this coming soon.

It's destroying battery life on my SE. A few iMessages and I'm down 12%! The phone is HOT! Pretty sure I've turned off all the silly new features but to no apparent effect. To anyone reading this... DO NOT UPGRADE till there's a fix.


Turning iMessages off for a while to see it that makes a difference.

If they release update there will be no way to come back to 9.3.5, right ? Good way Apple to force stay on IOS 10...

It's ok for me, iPhone 6, 69% remaining, 2h15 of use and more than 7 hours of standby. However I am on iOS 10 since beta 2 or 3 and I have the feeling that battery life was slightly better during beta 6 or 7, can't remember exactly.

I can't tell if it's worse. Maybe marginally. I did notice something odd though. I went into Background App Refresh and somehow had one app turned on. I don't need any turned on really. I turned it off and went back to the settings page. I rechecked the refresh list to see what apps are actually listed and they were all turned on! What the heck?

iPhone 6S. 64GB AT&T. 14A403 build.

  • I've had horrible battery life since GM.
  • Did a full reset of settings a few days ago. Still bad.
  • Restored as a new phone without backup last night to see if that helped.
    • Full charge at 6am.
    • Listened to already downloaded music on the way to work.
    • Phone shut itself down to the empty battery screen at 42% at 7:55am.
    • Plugged into computer and booted back up to 49%
Something is definitely wrong on the 6S's and it's not just me needing to give the iPhone time to adjust.

I did a itunes Restore on my 6s Tuesday night. Battery life seemed worst at first on Wednesday. However, Thursday
battery life was good - similar to ios 9.

Yesterday was terrible on my 6s, had to charge 3 times throughout the day. Battery usage said 6 hours of Phone app on screen which definitely wasn't right. Today seems normal so far..

Yeah I did, after I did a bit of testing. Worse still, the diagnostic logs were "stuck" on mine and couldn't be removed even with Xcode. I had to remove the beta profile, erase everything and start over. I had ~3gb of logs just sitting there eating space.

I never send logs to apple. Just something I've always opted out of.


Is there a way for me to remove diagnostic logs manually if I don't have Xcode? I don't automatically send diagnostic logs to Apple.
