Have an iPhone 7 given to me. Today the battery drained to about 1% in two hours -- NEVER had this happen before, and no more use than usual. Noticed it yesterday as well, when using text messaging that it went from 100% to 67% in about 30 minutes or so, just texting.
Any idea what could cause this? I know it's an old phone, but the batter capacity is still 75%, and like I said this just started yesterday. I can understand using brave or safari, internet, etc, can really drain the batter quickly, but this is new. Also put it on dark mode to save more power.
Can it be that the battery is just that degraded to the point that its power just goes this fast all of a sudden -- one day it can last at least six hours or so with no use and just drain to 92 percent, but in two hours with only one phone call or text to this much power loss?
