Low Battery

Why would my iPhone 6 all of a sudden have to be charged more than once a day? It's about 3 yrs old.

If you're going on 3 years and it's just now doing that, let me ask: have you installed anything new (software or an app)? This is the main cause besides physical issues with the battery.

If you call Apple, they can run diagnostics on your device as long as you're connected to wifi, and they can tell you if it's hardware and if it's not hardware, they'll walk you through steps on things to help the battery life. If it is hardware, it's $79 to get a new battery put into your phone. Just make sure to back it up so they can't make you lose anything!

I'd guess because the batter is "about 3 yrs old"...

 

If you had any other device that had the same battery for 3 years and it wasn't charging, I'd think you'd probably replace the battery, right? It might be time.

 

Or it might be some new app. But I'm leaning towards the battery.
