Deggle - By your analogy that "you will find that there are people complaining about their battery draining with EVERY update that has ever been released", it could be argued that Apple's iOS's aren't very good, if all keep causing battery drain.
However, no one can prove that they are or are not to blame.
That said, it seems odd to my mind, that people had working devices, installed the update, and then suddenly have hugely draining battery issues straight after.
I reiterate that if the only thing people have ALL done is the update, then logic (rather than accusations, misdirection or deliberate shifting-of-the-blame) would dictate the update is the source of the problem.
But, if Apple Discussion Forum people keep on denying that there's a problem, and consistantly keep trying to pass the buck back onto the user and their devices, then all that happens is people get angry.
I get why Apple doesn't want to admit there's a fault.
I get why YOU Apple Discussion Forum people don't want to admit that there might be a fault.
But just sticking your proverbial heads in the sand, and blaming users and their devices just makes you all look delusional, and hacks-off all the people who now have devices that now need to be repeatedly charged (or at least, have to be tethered to a power source) to remain useable.
Regardless, of who or what is to blame, Apple and Apple Discussion Forums people need to cease the "It's not the iOS, it's you and your device" rhetoric!
I have joined the group to try and solve the problem of a rapidly-draining battery, and the response of "Just restore your iDevice" or "Wipe it, then try adding apps back one-at-a-time until you determine which one is the problem" is just an absolute farce!
People cannot waste hours/days on this issue, everytime it happens - regardless of why it happens.
Frankly, I honestly believe that none of the Apple Discussion Forum people have any answers to this problem, but rather than just admit that they don't know, they actively encourage "spin" to deflect any issues away from them.
That may not be the case, but it's certainly how it comes across looking at these Forum threads each day.
Life's too short for this!
Apple Discussion Forums people should be better than this.
So should the Forums themselves.
Right now, it just feels like a load of big kids bullying the littler kids into a corner, simply because they can, and the big kids have been ordered by Faculty to "Deny everything, no matter what, until people give up".
