Date rape drugs are now the favorite item of blame for getting back out drunk. The reality is that they are very, very rarely used and outside of a few high profile cases (Bill Cosby), the actual culprit is excessive alcohol consumption.

I’ve nothing to comment on or add about this thread subject. Just want to say that now my iPhone is over 2 yrs old, it’s really acting up. Battery depletes faster than ever before even with no changes in usage/apps. Worse part is when I land from east to west or vice versa, the phone isn’t updating the new time zone. It used to be instant as soon as I came off airplane mode. It would pickup the nearest tower and update the time. Now I’ve noticed it can 20 minutes to an hour before the time displays correctly. All settings are default, eg, auto update time option checked. I don’t get it. It’s definitely something I’m looking at more before going to sleep to make sure my time is accurate before setting the alarm for next day. It feels like Apple makes this stuff last 2 years and then start breaking down so you buy their next new iPhone.

I landed in Maui yesterday and didn’t notice until about two hours later that my iPhone 7 was still on west coast time. I’d been texting and making calls with it several times in those two hours.

Toggled airplane mode and it finally reset to local time.

For a good defense...we should all keep an IPhone 5 or earlier handy.

If you think that’s bad, I got a call from Crew Sked assigning me a trip, ten years after I had retired.

It’s got nothing to do with Apple. Lipo batteries are good for a certain number of charge cycles. Under normal use, that means about two years. After that, they do start to run down very quickly and exhibit some odd, unpredictable behaviors.

My iPhone 6 is just over four years old. I replaced the original battery after two years, and replaced that battery just recently, two years after the first one. $29 at an Apple Store or authorized service location. I got the most recent replacement done at Best Buy.

That’s what you call a Black Slip.

Did you take it?

Yeah, IMHO the new iPhone is not durable enough to have a $1000 price tag.



As Mark said above, have your battery replaced.

Avoid leaving the phone anywhere it will get hot, such as in a hot car. That will reduce battery life.
