Anybody had it where their iphone battery usage percentage widely varies?
The last few weeks, I can have my iphone at like 90%, then in 5 minutes it drops to 60%.
Also had it where it seemed fine at 50% then in 10 minutes I am at 15%.
I've got the latest software and all.
If they give you an issue about it Beijing out of warranty, if it is, push back because as I said it's a known, ongoing issue for years.
It's not really THAT bad, I'm wondering if it makes sense to gut it out until the new one is released?
that way you can support both companies (which aren't rivals)
It needs to be plugged in most of the time.
So I have an iPhone 6 and was hoping to hold out till the 8 is released.
Was told it cost $80 to get a new battery.
Is it worth it, or make sense to just hold out for a few months?
One other option would be to get a mobile carry charger you can use when out, but I was told those cost even more than a new battery.
Thoughts?

My thoughts:
1) Portable battery chargers can be had for less than $20.
2) The new iPhones are expected out in Sept. Be aware that speculation is the iPhone 8 will be a "premium" phone and may cost as much as $1000. However it's also expected that they will also release a 7S at tradional prices (starting at $649)
3) Your 6 should have trade in value when you upgrade. I'm not sure whether a balky battery would impact the value you get or not.
