Yeah, if things go accordingly, then support for 6S will end next year and 7 will end on 2021.

I also do not plan to replace my 2 year old ip7 which I have handed down to my son. So far he is loving it coming from ip6. A battery change will be definite, its a matter of when. Most probably I will get it changed soon enough.

why my ip7+ fast drain battery ya? just bought from maxis..

What year is your unit? Although you recently bought it from Maxis, it may be a old stock. That may be he reason the battery is failing.

Cross reference your iphones serial number with the image below to learn when the unit was manufactured. Serial no is in settings>about>Serial no.

I am still using iPhone 6+. Love the phone also.

wow i see.. so even the phone didnt use in packaging but the manufactured in 2016 the battery will fail?

It may or may not fail due to the battery haven't been used for a long time. Its like those normal AAA, AA, etc l batteries that sells at supermarkets, they also have shelf life. If unused for a certain period, the chemicals in them degrade thus lost of performance. I remember shopping for a phone for my no 3 child. He wanted an iphone and I found an new old stock iphone 5S at a digi counter in Ampang. It was an unopened new unit but according to the seller, it was like 2 years sitting in the shelve. Anyway, he opened the box and tried to charge it, for almost 10 minutes plugged in nothing was happening to the phone. Then the apple logo came out, it was charging. I paid RM1.2k for that phone and I do remember that the battery didint last long. I had to change to another battery after about a year of usage. The last few months, my child kept complaining that it lost power too quickly than normal.

i see.. so the battery have their end life ya.. how many years battery can still good condition if unopenbox..

I’m planning to upgrading to iPhone X from my iPhone 7+

mainly for the full screen and OLED screen.

iPhone X...Still worth it?

Nope. Wait for next year (2020) iPhone. The iPhone will have a new look with 5G

not willing to put that much money for new models

Honestly I don't have any clue. But since you bought it new, the warranty would cover a failing battery. Have you check the 'Battery Performance %? I am sure the SC have equipment to check the physical performance of your battery.

Then u already answer ur own question

Your iPhone 6 Plus won't get iOS 13 though.

Saw a 64GB one going for as low as 3,139 during Lazada's sale yesterday. Probably worth it if you really want a X. I'd wait till the new ones are launched though.

actually it is still on ios 10. haha. and i won't upgrade the iOS. haha.

Haha, smart move, just like your Mini 2.

iOS 11 is the killer. If you had upgraded to iOS 11 then you would have no choice but to go to 12.

saw the performance 100%.. i think some apps running in background..coz it got heated some time..

Does the phone gets hotter (when background apps running) than when its charging? Heat is energy, the more more it produces the more energy it gives out. There would be some cause for concern. Some apps do make the hp hotter than usual, those high intense graphic games are such examples, non-the less if it runs hot even in standby mode, it should be checked by a technician ASAP IMO.

i notice if im using potret camera i can feel its getting hot.. is that normal for using camera potret..

Emmm, on mine, I only feel phone getting warm when I play high grapics games, on the phone on long periods, surfing the net (YT especially) for long durations. Short durations, like normal. BTW I am using Spigen Crystal hybrid case. I do use camera, but I have yet to encounter it to be running hotter than the norm.
