iPhone users have discovered a bug with the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus which means that if you manually update the time or travel to another country then your battery life percentage won't update.
The bug was reported on Apple's support forums and has since had 174 replies and over 60,000 views.
Users are finding that their percentage will stick at say 87 per cent with the phone only showing the real battery percentage when the handset has been restarted or turned off and on again.
