Battery indicator stuck to 100%

Hi folks,


Has anyone stumbled upon a phenomenon where an iPhone 6's battery indicator has been stuck to 100% ever since updating to 10.3 beta 7? Not only the top indicator, but the whole system thinks Battery is at 100%. When battery drains, a sudden poweroff happens and the screen gives the normal red battery symbol. After plugging and restarting the indicator is instantly back at 100%.


I did a 10.3 b7 restore to a clean state, the indicator is still at 100% and hasn't started to reduce even while playing video streams. The next step will be restoring to 10.2, I'll see if that helps, or wheter this is a hardware problem.

To clarify;


1. The behavior is different from a faulty battery (seen those in 5 and 5S), this device has had an excellent battery life and resilience up until the b7 install.

2. In retrospect, the depleted battery situation occurred at just about the right time considering the use of the device during the day. So the capacity and use of the capacity seems to be OK, only the indicator (to the screen and to the OS) is malfunctioning.

3. The device is perfectly usable, if one remembers to charge it multiple times per day.

Might want to add any beta bug report numbers to your thread for reference, thanks and good luck.
