Apple admits iPhone 6S and 6S Plus battery meters misleading

Company acknowledges clock bug which causes meter to display wrong percentage charge when date and time settings altered

Apple has admitted to a bug with its smartphone battery meter that could see the iPhone 6S or iPhone 6S Plus displaying a higher charge than the phone actually has.

The error means that the battery meter fails to update the percentage displayed, leading to some iPhones shutting down while still displaying full charge.
