    After updating my 6s Plus my Battery is at 88% within 10 minutes. When it reaches 40% it just droppes down in 10s till 5%. Put phone on charge in 5 to 10 minuets it’s charged to 40%… take it off charge it last 10min to empty again. Don’t know if I should reset my phone or wait for an update. I have tried hard boot but does not seem to help.
