Hi there,
I use my flymore combo with an iphone 6s.
I cannot fly the three batteries without my phone running out of battery. Anyone got the same issue? Is my iphone dying?  Or is dji go app sucking too much juice out of my phone?

The iPhone 6s has a very poor battery, hence the reason why Apple created that ugly battery case for the 6/6s. Being that the screen is kept on and is streaming live video yes the app will drain the battery more than the average app. Just like any video app would.

Yes the iphone 6s is known to have a poor battery, but that poor really sucks... watching videos does not drain the battery so fast though

yes i have an iPhone 6s and when I'm flying my mavic even with 50% or more iPhone battery it will just turn itself off. Frightening when your drone is out of sight, luckily DJI'S RTH feature works brilliantly! i spoke to apple and they said my iPhone is eligible for a free battery replacement.

This is due to iOS10.1.1 bug.  It is widely reported on this battery issue with this latest iOS.

iPhone issue not a Mavic issue...
Easy - buy a new phone or bring a spare battery pack to charge your phone.

I have the same issue in my iPhone6. I found a battery case (called "Smart Battery Case") in Apple Store but not sure if it can be used at the Mavic Pro remote control.
this case will keep the two sides of iPhone basically the same thickness because the battery is placed at the middle of the case. thus, I think it can be put into the remote control.
it provides a lightning slot outside the case and claims to be working for data transfer and charging as well.  
the core question: is it ok when the iPhone is being charged by the battery case, and is connected with the Mavic remote control at the same time?
anyone has the idea on it?
see below for the product details in Apple Store:

I use an IPhone 6 and took my Mavic on it's first flight today.  Five minutes in I got 10% battery notification and hit RTH. As soon as I landed and packed up I hooked up phone to car charger and it popped up to 54%.  I think I'll be visiting the Apple store myself soon.  It may have been the cold as it was about 27 F.

i Had the same with my Galaxy S6, and i got a warning that the app was draining the battery. I followed the suggestion to put the app in the power saving mode ( always save power) and now the app is ussing 10% battery on 25 minutes of flying .

As I mentioned above, i too was having issues with iPhone 6s battery.   I took it to Apple and they replaced the battery (free).   Since then, i have had no further issues.

This looks like something you should be posted in an iPhone forum somewhere. Not much DJI can do about a power hungry apple device. Regardless... The problem is not the battery, it's the phone. iPhone is a process hog that no internal battery could sustain, if there is an app running. It's the nature of Obective C, and Swift, which apple products are built on. The best thing I can recommend is a Google Pixel. It has an amazing battery, and is a better phone than iPhone in every way. If you are one of those people that believe that there is no other phone than iPhone, then there are some case options that have an extended battery built in, to help the battery hungry iPhone last longer. Another option would be to plug your iPhone into the bottom USB port, and then plug a power bank into the side usb port. This would charge the controller and the iPhone during flight.
