Yes! Ever since this latest 10.1.1 update running the smallest app with cause this new "overheating issue" on the iPhone 6+, battery drains to 70% within 30-40 minutes. NEVER happened prior to this update. I'm barely getting 5 hours life out of this phone now, % is showing random numbers as well..it may even turn off and reset after it hits 45%! AND the battery is pretty new - replaced in late September after it started to bulge...$$ out of my own pocket to take care of that issue (Had to be replaced ASAP fearing it blowing up) Stopping in the Apple store this weekend was a complete waste of time, it was beyond packed due to the timing of the wonderful Holiday Season [sarcasm]. No one there could help me.

#62These sort of issues are becoming more and more a reason to switch to more open alternatives, where you have at least sufficient access to the system and a fighting chance to mess with some tools to debug and perhaps solve the issue yourself.
Android world isn't that much better.
For example, the Sony M5 has a very unpredictable glitch - it did have a "workaround" (unlike this iPhone bug) but which significantly degraded usability - it was to to resort to 3G WCMDA network, 2G GSM GPRS/EDGE. I'm glad I didn't get it (free off contract)

Re: iPhone update leaves users furious due to battery drain issue
#63I have generally not had this issue. Most of my battery drain issues seem to be related to the awfully bloated Facebook app and then Photos in the background doing its thing. The battery life issue happened for maybe 2 days after 10.x was released.
But the girlfriend's iPhone 6s has dropped from 20% to 5% pretty fast, though. Only difference is that hers is on Verizon and I'm on AT&T. Hers was also identified by the Genius Bar as being eligible for a battery replacement.

#64Has anyone seen this issue on an iPhone SE? Mine's been bugging me to update to iOS 10 for a while now, and I was planning to do so in the next week or two, but now I'm not so sure that's a good idea...
Well, I have felt like my battery has drained a lot more quickly, but until today thought it might just be my imagination. Will be monitoring my SE a lot closer. Personally, I'd recommend against updating until 10.2 is out for a week or two.

#65I'm experiencing the same battery drain in my 5. I plugged into pc to save photos and another update was detected. I was going to backup so I could do a Firmware reset as Apple Store tech suggested.
I can't tell if battery improved yet but the other problem from 10 update seems to have corrected, reduced sensitivity to touch. Touch sensitivity is improved noticeably.
Hope battery is too.

Photos and Do not store photos on the iOS device.
Wait, if you store your photos locally there's no way to disable facial recognition on them?
That is what I am led to believe. Once you take a photo on the iOS 10 device it will attempt to perform face recognition.
What I am not sure of is whether iOS will attempt face recognition on photos transferred to it from another source.
