Yes my 22 month old 6s is showing 86% battery and when you take the bumper off it looks like the day I bought it. I run my life off it and it gets used for hours a day.

I suffered android for a number of years and you're right. Trash. Even the flagships. The worst bit is when they go wrong or have quality problems. My experience of service from Samsung and Motorola is sending it off, losing it for 4 weeks and it coming back with a ransom charge and a lie that I water damaged it which I didn't. The Motorola was the worst because it just went to sleep one day and never woke up again. This was 2 hours after I first powered it up.

My wife had a 6s with a light patch on the display, took it in Apple store and they swapped the screen out there and then. No charge.

Get the battery replaced on your 6S before Dec 31 for $30 and it will perform like new again. Mine was at 87% but it made a noticeable difference in everday usage.

Just did this on an SE, I was expecting to come back and pick it up in a couple of days (website says up to five business days when you make an appointment), but it took a bit over an hour instead. Having an Apple store is great.

Thanks for heads up - will look into that right away.

Why before Dec 31?

Because afterwards it is $79 again, the $30 is a temporary deal: https://www.apple.com/iphone-battery-and-performance/
