iPhone battery recall
- Thread starter Thirdgen89GTA

My work one is eligible. Sounds like Im gonna have to go through IT to see how they want me to handle it. If its just a battery replacement, then it shouldn't be a big deal, but I dont wanna get in a shit storm over trying to fix something.
My phone is sitting at 19% and havent charged it in a couple days. Havent used it either.

Same here
Most noticeable since iOS 10.
Did you get your battery replaced for free [MENTION=7289]IZZy[/MENTION]?
As a heads up since I literally just went through this on Friday for the exact same issue on my 6S
If your phone is out of normal warranty, they will replace the battery, and will not simply replace the phone. The stores apparently don't STOCK replacement parts, so after a week wait and waiting another 40 minutes in the store, I'm told they are going to order a new battery and ask to schedule yet another appointment....
I declined that and pointed out I also had a light bleed issue on my screen and asked for them to just replace the phone.
They still ended up charging me $80 for a total phone replacement out of warranty because of the screen issue, but there was no way I was going to deal with waiting another week and slogging through down town Naperville again. I figure $80 for a new phone was acceptable given light bleed kills sale/trade-in values.
I scheduled a Genius Bar appointment (which was a week wait in itself)

Mine was a release day phone and had zero issues until like 3 or 4 weeks ago (conviently past the year old mark...)
Yeah. That's how this battery issue hit me. No indication of a problem except for yesterday. Now the battery life is crap.
I charged to 100% last night and with just some light browsing and about an hour of playing music it's down to 50%
Zero issues till iOS10..... I'm less than thrilled about this...
If yours is still under the year mark warranty, call and see if they will just replace the phone (lie, say it's happened once or twice and then you saw the site with the serial entry)
If they want to replace the battery, then just let it ride until it starts happening IMO.
If eligible the battery warranty is extended past the year mark if your work got it used or refurbed or something
See. I was on ios9 as I refused to update. The last time I restored the phone I was able to manually download the old ios9 and force the restore.
This time all ios9 files are now unsigned and I didn't feel like sorting out how to fake the signing.
I may see if I can jailbreak to go back down. I hate the music app.
This time since ios9 wasn't signed I couldn't restore I had to upgrade at the same time. I still have my ios9 backup as I manually moved it out of the folder.
Today I am running the phone down till it shuts off as many times as I can in hopes of at least calibrating the charge indicator.
I ended up trading the phone in before I knew there was a recall, it became Att's problem lol
