Battery has completely gone to shite. Everything worked great battery-wise after I updated to iOS 10 a few weeks ago. But yesterday I was under 50% by lunch (normally at least like 65%). Today at 10:00 I was under 75%. Definitely haven't been using my phone any more than normal.

iPhone 6 purchased in October 2014. Right on schedule.

Try turning off some of the widgets on the new widget screen. I notice my location services on a lot more lately and I'm pretty sure it's because it's the widgets that calculate things like travel time.

Or look at your battery usage and see what's actually draining it.

It's pretty common, actually.

I mean it just gives you percentages. No surprising info in there.

Wait for updates. Mine one time had to live on a charger for two weeks. I would put it in my pocket to eat dinner, and it would lose 40% over an hour. It always would be hot, but the update fixed it and the battery lasts a long time like it used to. iPhone 6.

Mine went to crap for about 5 days and suddenly went back to holding charge as normal without me doing an update. Strange things are afoot at the Circle K

If you're semi-mechanically inclined, a battery for your iphone 6 on amazon cost about $20 and it's not very hard to replace it using the ifixit tutorial.
