Q: 10.0.1 battery drainage issue
Hello ALL.
Wanted to put this out here in HOPES that someone high up in the Apple tree (Corp.) would read this and relay the bad worm issue on the newest iOS update 10.0.1
I'm not new to Apple products nor the iOS, in fact I stood in line for hours to get my hands on the iPhone 3, then the iPhone 4, and the iPhone 5, of course iPhone 6+, and now the iPhone 7 (not the + model...oh how I loath the pre-order sales tactic). Oh, and I've had almost every single iPad model and mini to date, with my newest bad boy the iPad Pro 12.9
I only mention this to let you know I'm used to the iOS infrastructure and it's updates.
Okay...how do I know it's the iOS and not something else, easy... I bought 2 iPhone 7's on launch day. The first one I restored from a backup on my computer through iTunes, which had the latest iOS at that point 9.3.5 and during this restore point I was asked to update to the 10.0.1 update and I did. The other iPhone 7, I didn't have to use a backup and it came pre-loaded with iOS 10.0.0 already installed. So, I have a good comparison to go off of.
Now that I've had the new phones for 2 solid days, their battery usage is completely different. Yes, they have the same settings. Again...this isn't my first rodeo. (I've check the battery usage apps, location services is off, etc, etc.)
The 2nd iPhone 7 running 10.0.0 doing the same task; messaging, emails, and some phone calls was holding about 95% and my 1st iPhone was at 80% (WTH!!)
What really nailed the coffin shut, was when I updated my iPad Pro from 9.3.5 to 10.0.1 and it too started losing battery life almost twice as fast as it was before. Same apps were running as before, no other changes were made.
So, this is when I absolutely knew it was the newest iOS 10.0.1 that is behind the battery drainage issue.
Hello Apple...please fix this soon.
iPhone 7, iOS 10
