An iPhone 6s battery life problem is leaving some users stranded without power despite the iPhone showing plenty of power left. Currently the iPhone 6s battery bug is limited to iOS 9.2 and the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus. This is what you need to know about the problem, how to fix it temporarily and when Apple might deliver a fix.

While traveling around Las Vegas for CES 2016 our iPhone 6s showed an astounding 83% battery life as the clock ticked over to 5:30. This is an impressive feat, but a few minutes later the iPhone turned off, flashing a signal to recharge the battery.

Although not widespread, it is an issue that many iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus users are seeing in 2016.

The iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus battery life problem only impacts these two devices, and it appears to be linked to iOS 9.2. There is no specific battery percentage that the iPhone 6s battery life indicator sticks at, but it will stick.

Users will most often see this iOS 9.2 battery bug while traveling, but if you move the clock ahead to cheat time in Candy Crush Saga or Fallout Shelter  you may also see this issue that can leave you stranded without power. It is one of many iOS 9 problems.

Apple offers the following description of the problem, acknowledging the issue without letting users know when a fix is coming.

"If you change the time on your iPhone 6s or iPhone 6s Plus manually or change time zones when traveling, you might notice that the battery percentage doesn't update."
