Getting really annoyed. My iphone battery is cutting out and stalling way before reaching zero. In fact ive never seen it hit zero or 1 or 2 %. I only got it in april. 

 

Took it into the apple store they told me a replacement battery would cost £200 and not covered by warranty. 

 

Took it to the 02 store where I signed the contract and they told me it was a fault with apple and pretty much nothing they could do. 

 

I now have a non mobile mobile-phone. any advice. pretty fed up if i'm honest,

Keep pushing Apple - see thread here (http://community.o2.co.uk/t5/Apple-iOS-Devices-iPhone-iPad/IPhone-6s-dying-with-30-battery-remaining...) where another member had this issue and Apple swapped the phone.

Absolutely right.
Don't let either party fob you off.

i have been fobbed off.. you are right. but i cant afford the time or the money to keep going back and forth to the apple store. its a 70 mile round trip. 

 

my cheapest option is just to buy a crappy phone and use that.

Call them and have a moan - they will usually give you a reference number to quote in store that authorises a repair or replacement.

It's well worth a 70 mile round trip to get good customer service and the problems sorted.
