Hello there Iets,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We suggest turning off the Background App Refresh to help with this issue. Go to Settings > General > Background App Refresh, and switch that to Off. Get more info on using Background App Refresh here:

Hey; after almost 9 Months and countless E-mails and Phone calls with Apple support, the Problem is fixed, but I had too connected everything again. Before you delete your old home set a 2nd home, transfer everything to the new Home and then delete the old home, after doing this, the Background activity should stop in a few hours. I have to say after nine months I forgot how long the battery last and how cold the phone could be, so I hope it works for you guys too.
