I have a 5S. Since the last update to 11.x iOS, weird battery things have been happening. Occasionally when the battery level gets down near 20% charge, the phone can suddenly show dropping to near 0% charge,, like 4% or 5%. then when you immediately go plug it in to the charger, it jumps back UP to where it was before,, around 20%. Weird. Only started after the iOS update. Otherwise, the battery life and clock speed seem to be about what they've always been for this phone.
It would be nice if they would stop monkeying around with the battery control stuff. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Mike in AR

I have had an i5 for nearly 5 years and intentionally never upgraded IOS.
I was born with a tinfoil hat. No battery problems. None. Storage is getting constrained somehow but otherwise, no performance drop. Thinking of upgrading.....either 7 or 8. Probably 7. |

A bit like the recent VW screw-up, the Apple folks are now trying to undo the damage to customer relations by offering a product (battery replacement) at a price that likely represents a loss for them.
So... those of us who have owned their iPhones for 2 or 3 yrs (like yrs truly with an ancient iPhone 6) will get brand new batteries and improved performance for pocket change. Bear with me, but I don't think the Android crowd can take advantage of anything like that. Transparency would have avoided the whole mess. Then most of us wouldn't have upgraded to the newest iOS... but I wonder if the app developers have a ton of trouble designing stuff that works with multiple iOS's... ?

I have a 6s, and I did an update in october inadvertantly. You know how the phone constantly prompts you to update? I ignored it over and over but I guess I started the update by accident and now my phone is sluggish as hell.
It doesn’t unlock well with the fingerprint thing like it used to. If I want to take a picture, or heaven forbid, make a call, I have to sit there and watch it stare back at me for what seems like an eternity. So now, they are offering another update. I guess I should take it but I’m less than hopeful it is going to fix things. What a crock. Back to my original post though, my whole beef with this problem is ( wait whilst I tighten my tinfoil just a bit and tilt my head just right) that I feel these are preplanned problems that are built in the phone just to goad you into buying a new one. The timing is just too coincidental and that is what chaps me more than anything else. If you bought a car that did zero to sixty in four seconds flat when you bought it, and five years later it took 4.5 seconds, then that is understandable for a combustible engine car to do that and it would bother me at all. If you bought that same car and it slowed way down only after the new one came out and the dealer serviced it, then I would be pissed. Sorry, I just can’t stop.

I just got the new iPhone X. It's nifty but hardly revolutionary. My 5S is over four years old and was suffering the same symptoms everyone else here describes. It was time for a new one.
I wanted the 8 but the Verizon store I visited in the Twin Cities didn't have it in stock. So I went with the X. I'm not sorry I have a new one but don't be fooled, it's just the new iPhone. Our expectations have been raised to such levels that we're disappointed when something like this is released, forgetting how revolutionary these devices really are. In my work it's a crazy useful device. My advice: If you don't need to get a new one, don't. |

Every since I put a screen saver on the IPhone SE I just got....it's touch sensitivity has way decreased. Screen doesn't work good....especially on secondary settings. Any of you have these issues with screen savers? Thinking of just taking it off. So it gets scratched up over time don't see that as a big deal. But wife thinks I need a fancy case and screen saver. Must add about 50% to weight.

Anyway, I'm easy on my phone generally and a thick case sort of ruins the experience. The leather one is a nice compromise and it fits the phone perfectly. BTW, If Apple releases a small form-factor iPhone SE II (SES?) I could imagine trying it out. I'm not in love with (nor do I hate) the size of the largish iPhone X. |

I'm using an SE too. I am using an old Otterbox from my wife's old iPhone5. It has a hole for the button.
