How do you do a hard reset???

I think it's hold the power and home buttons together until the apple logo appears. This really just simulates a battery pull, a true factory data reset is done from settings but will put your phone back to factory fresh out of the box mode. I think the simulated battery pull is useful when your phone freezes or similar. Doesn't hurt anything anyway. I do it maybe once a month just for grins.

I was having an issue with my battery draining when the phone was turned off. Total drain to zero in a couple of days. Consistently every time. Last time I shut it down for a few days(serial phone switcher)i pulled up all the recent apps page and cleared it. Not only did I have no drain, but didn't even lose 1% in 3 days. Thinking something having to do with those apps being there. Dunno, but hope this was no fluke.

i upgraded my iOS to 10.1.1 on the phone about 10 days ago and back it up several times
on my computer. Yestreday iTunes showed me info that new 10.1.1 update is available
for an upgrade. Weird. i downloaded it anyway and it looks like my iphone
got it twice. Things are starting to get messed up for Apple, since Steve Jobs departure

This exact thing happened to me. I called AppleCare - told her I was ON 10.1.1 but that iTunes was saying 10.1.1 was available. "Oh, that's normal" she says, I say no, it should say I'm current and will check for an update on xxx date. She actually got abrupt with me, telling me I would be wasting my time.
So she left, I'm thinking things are sad for AppleCare. And I downloaded and installed (reinstalled?) 10.1.1. On both the 6s AND my Air 2. (the Air 2 has had no battery issue).

Now I'm waiting to see if the 6s battery issue - where it shows 25+% battery life but then shuts off and indicated the recharge icon, you plug it in and it reboots - and shows 25+% battery life - has resolved itself or not.

In this case, it is normal. Apple released a newer version of 10.1.1 about a week ago, which I believe fixed a minor issue that affected a small number of people trying to instal 10.1.1. If your phone update to 10.1.1 fine with the first version of 10.1.1, this one is unnecessary. It is not showing up to anybody as an OTA update if you already have 10.1.1, but it can be updated if you connect via iTunes.

After getting iOS 10.1 I notice battery draining fast.Can someone help?

I've noticed this too.

To fix this on iTunes , do I do a "Restore backup" or "Restore iPhone"?

And what is the difference, please? Be gentle, lol.

after second iOS 10.1.1 upgrade it looks like battery performs a bit better.
No sudden dying with 25% charge remaining. Maybe there is a hope...

Two possible methods
1. Backup data and hard reset.
2. Just update to the software again via iTunes. <-- usually the better option
