![]() When charging, the battery icon turns green and shows a small charging icon next to the percentage. When an iPhone running the latest iOS 16 beta is in Low Power Mode, the battery icon changes to yellow while still displaying the percentage. Users no longer have to go through the hassle of opening the Control Center to check their battery level. With the new design, the percentage is housed inside the battery icon, leaving space for other status bar data like Wi-Fi and cell signal information. I just hope it's fixed in 7.1.On the models prior to the iPhone X, the battery percentage was displayed next to the battery icon. Did apple plant a bug where at a certain number of charge cycles the phone is programmed to go bezerk and show the wrong levels in order to score some money off of battery replacements? Hmmm. ![]() Still happens! Gotta be a software problem! It's been driving me nuts! It's weird how putting in a new battery seems to fix the problem for some people. I've restored at new a couple times and have drained it down and hard reset and all that stuff. But then like right now I'm stuck at 5% and it has been stuck there for 2 hours!! The capacity is the same and I'm getting about the same usage but the meter is calculating drain wrong. If I'm using the camera or I crank the brightness while playing a game the big chunks come off. If I'm on wifi the meter goes down normal. I have been wanting to make an appointment for the genius bar but I wonder if it's just a software issue.Same here! I've been through many forums and am seeing many reports of this too! My phone never did this on ios 6 and started doing it immediately after the update! The big drops tend to happen near the halfway mark. I did a restore as new and still have the problem. I go to plug it in and jumps back up to almost full. It will stick at a percent for awhile and then drain very quick. Since I have updated to 7.0.4 on my iPhone 5 I have been having the same problem. If anyone else is suffering from this problem please comment as I'm hoping its more wide spread than originally thought. I believe apple charge just under £60 so I might let them do it is necessary. Ps thanks for the advice about replacing battery. Trust it to happen when my phone is just over its warranty. If it is the recent update I would have expected more people to be suffering from this issue. I will mention that if they think its hardware and I pay to replace the phone and it turns out to be the recent update I will not be a happy chappy. I will still go to apple Genius Bar Friday and see what they say. Seems like a strange issue and for it to drop that fast in chunks I think you need a new batteryĬheck amazon you can get one for 5 bucksiPhone 5, it is my 3rd replacement because my previous 2 iPhone 5 since launch had camera issues and apple replaced them. If it needs a battery it's pretty easy to swap yourself assuming it's a 4 or 4s I would try that before ditching the phone. I will update when I have had a few days of charge cycles and usage. Hopefully this works because I am confident my battery is ok it's the battery indicator software at fault. 15 mins after finishing the video my percentage was on 7 and when I plugged it in to charge and the battery jumped to 42% instantly.Ī week ago I restored from back up and reset all settings but this happened again today, so now I have restored my phone from iTunes in DFU mode as a new device not from backup. Then another minute later it displayed the 10% warning. It became more apparent when the battery indicator was on 52% before I started videoing and 2:30 mins into recording a video the 20% low battery warning popped up on my screen. My indicator was showing 82% then suddenly dropped to 75% then it dropped to 73% at normal pace to then hang at 73 for 15 mins to then start dropping quickly again. First I noticed the percentages were dropping in large increments while the phone was in standby and in use. Since iOS 7.0.3 I believe my battery indicator has developed a problem.
