Mine does the same thing! But it's a 6. Couldn't find any info on recalls for the 6, just 6s.
I have the 6 Plus and it was covered, just this past October. Take it to Apple Store and have them run the battery test, if it shows the failed battery they will replace the device under recall.
My girlfriend had the same battery issues, dying randomly at 20%. Only to turn the phone back on and it's back at 20%... or even higher. Went to two different Apple stores and they said her battery was almost perfect still.

Happened again yesterday. I went for a run.. had my GPS tracker app and music running. As soon as the battery got to 20% it said if I wanted to set it to low power mode, I selected yes and it immediately shut off. I tried to turn it back on but it kept showing me I had to plug it in to charge it. As soon as I got to my car I plugged it in and it turned on with 21% battery.
It is a 6s and I checked the serial number but it isn't one that they said they will replaced the battery.
I'm thinking I should definitely go to the Apple store and run a battery test. Even if it isn't under that battery warranty I assume they will still replace it if it fails, right? Maybe I should let the battery run down to 25% when I go to the store so hopefully it fails when I am there?
With battery issues like this let the battery go below 18%, then fully charge. If that does not work do a back up and set up as new, install apps one by one until all the apps you want are there or the issue returns (showing which app it was or that it was the os) This worked on my Wife's 10 month old 6S.
Apple can run a diagnostic over the air. No need to go to the store.

No harm in trying. Look dismayed and frustrated, that'll help the process.
When I was there last time getting mine fixed, I overheard one of the managers telling a technician that it's their policy to not let a customer leave without a satisfactorily working iPhone.... I mean, if they have touched it. This battery issue is VERY FAR from satisfactory...
Any long term review from you guys of those new earpods or whatever they call them?
I love mine. They are the best apple product made in years.
They instantly pair to your phone when you first open them. They hold a great charge, including the charging case. they instantly hook up when you put them in, and they sound great. I use them at the gym and I love that they stay out of the way everything. Even with my old BT jaybird buds...the wire connecting the earbuds would stick, catch, and in general be annoying.
How is the fit/comfort? Same as the factory iPhone 7 wired earbuds?
They are supposed to be but I can't stand the fit/comfort of the EarPods...I have to use silicon earskinz on them, and I only them around the condo to talk on the phone.
For whatever reason the Airpods fit and feel fine. no issues.
Friend has them, he said wireless convenience is great and they connect fast, but sound quality not much better than the (shitty) old ones. A quick google search confirms this assessment. Grade: C- (stays out of the D range because of the wireless convenience)
Here's the million-pound question: do the AirPods sound good enough to justify that high price tag? In a word, yes.
The AirPods sound really good - as long as they're in properly. You lose a bit of quality when they come loose, although that's to be expected. While the earphones sounded slightly flat when we first got our hands on them, after using them for a few weeks (long enough for them to be 'broken in') they produced rich, balanced, warm tones and rather impressive levels of bass perfect for a wide range of music. It doesn't quite have the clarity of, say, the Bose QC35's but at £289 compared to £159, you can't really expect it.
The AirPods are also the only Bluetooth headphones we've ever used that haven't 'dropped out' over a wireless connection. While this should be expected with most high-end wireless headphones, even the Bose QC35s drop out every now and again, making it all the more impressive that Apple's tiny wireless in-ears don't. It's a small factor to consider, granted, but being hit with a few seconds of silence at your favourite part of the song you're listening to is a rather frustrating experience - especially when it happens more than once.
Despite all its praises, it's worth mentioning that there is zero noise cancellation. It wasn't mentioned as a feature, granted, but if you were expecting it, be warned: you can almost always hear environmental noise, especially when in noisy environments like on the London Underground.
Absolutely insane when you consider Android vendors are racing to the bottom on price.
It almost doesn't matter. People will buy iPhones regardless. There's a rather large subset of consumers who don't cross shop other phones... the question isn't "which phone am I getting next?", it's "which iPhone am I getting next?"

l'm surprised that there is no Android competition for the iPhone SE small smart phone market- it has no competition from Samsung, LG, etc. I'm an iOS user by default.
There are plenty of Chinese Android phones and Motos that compete price-wise with the SE ($400 starting) but I think they're all around 5" but not full flagship size.
