Battery change?

[mws_1984]

Is it worth having a battery changed in an iphone 6? Mine seems to drain awfully quickly and I can't figure out why it is doing that. I've actually resorted to put it on low power mode most of the time.

They can do this at the apple store I imagine. What is the price?

Here is a guide by Apple on some things you can try first before replacing your battery as well what it will cost to replace your battery should it be required.

I looked through the site but I was unable to find a price. Anyone have any ideas?

I'll have to take a look. It just seems like it drains fairly quick compared to the usage I have. Unless it's cause the phone is always on. But I worry about when I do facebook quizzes and sometimes it will try to direct me to another page. Click bait, basically. I always refuse to but never know what could go on phone. Nobody seems to think that a phone can pick up any bugs. But makes me wonder.

Does this usage seem extreme enough that battery is wearing out quicker?

$79 out of warranty. Right on the page I linked too.

Your usage is average. Not sure when you originally got you 6, but I got mine on launch day. Mine is showing signs of wear after 2 years of daily use. Make a Genius appointment and have them look at it.

This is an iPhone 6? Seems about right. Facebook and Snapchat at the top. Both will use some battery. You have a ways to go before you're ready for a new battery. You'll know when the time comes.

It just seems odd how some days it just eats the battery. I'm sitting in car right now I took it off charger about 2 hours ago. Already down to 67%. I sit here and watch it drop in life as I write this to.

Those apps, plus cellular/LTE signal strength, can really affect your battery stats.

I'm noticing now that it seems when I charge it, it will get up to 80% and shut off the low power setting on its own. I've been keeping it on low power mode because it just eats away the battery. But to go from 80% to 100% it seems like it takes a long time. Actually have a battery pack on order to charge it if I'm away from a power source.

I'd go reset things but hesitant cause I don't want to lose anything and I'm fussy like that. If one thing seems off then it bugs me.

The Low Power Mode shutting of at 80% is by design. Changing your charger will not change that.

Like with all sorts of rechargeable batteries, when the charging process has reached a certain level, the charger starts what's called 'trickle charging'. This is a much slower charging modus, to prevent your battery from overcharging. It's comparable with turning the tap water slower to avoid spilling the water.

Oh I know it shuts off the low power mode at that point. I am getting a charger that can be used wherever. Actually can charge off the wall or solar powered. I found doing facebook live video eats the battery away real quick. So the other battery pack will be good if I want to do stuff that consumes battery.

Oh ok, I must have misread.
I, too, have battery packs with me always. Just bought a 2000 mAh one yesterday to take with me.
The other 2 are larger and depending on my needs, I will take them with me.
Since I have the 7 Plus now I realized that I'm not running out of battery at the end of the day unlike my 5S. That's why I have the 2000mAh now.

It just baffles me how this thing is now just dying so quickly even on low power mode. I hardly use it during day so I wonder if I left it on regular mode if it would be dying even faster. I wonder if it is searching signal or who knows.
