iOS 10.3 Switches to APFS

I don't give a shit about the Theater mode, will the iOS update fix the "30% battery bug"? I installed iOS 10.2 on my iPhone 6s and the battery randomly dies at any percentage below 50%, but usually at 30%. I've already researched the issue and done everything imaginable to improve battery life, but the phone is totally unreliable now. I went to the Apple store last night and at least 4-5 people sitting next to me in line were there for the same issue with the iPhone 6's and 6s's. I love Apple products, but they really dropped the ball with iOS 10.2 on all the non-iPhone 7's.

Are you sure your iPhone is not cover by this program?

Mine had exactly the same symptoms, and got a new battery for free!

Yes, my phone is not covered by that program, and it's also out of warranty now. I insisted that they replace the battery and I'm willing to pay however much it costs, but the person helping me absolutely refused and said it'd be a waste of money, especially since the diagnostics tests showed the battery is still healthy. They did a "deep reset" of the phone, which seems to have slightly improved the battery performance, or maybe I'm not using the phone that much today. Not sure.

I see... Well, if you're sure that the battery is the problem, and you're willing to pay, you can have it replaced by a third-party, or you can replace it yourself buying a kit.

It'll be cheaper and void your warranty, which has already expired.

Was this at an official Apple Store? Sounds very uncharacteristic based on my previous experience with Apple retail staff.
